It’s time for another homework session well it’s more like a quiz. This time Ghost class. Name the ghosts in Harry Potter. I know Headless Nick. He’s the Gryffindor ghost, played by the hilarious John Cleese. And Moaning Myrtle who is the ghost in the boys toilet. Then, the Bloody Baron who is Slytherin’s ghost (i think, I am doing this off the top of my head) And Peeves, who could forget him. There’s a woman ghost and I think her last name is Ravenclaw. And I think there’s a fat guy, a monk or friar probably considering this is England.
Let’s see how I do when I google “HP Ghost”….
(This is from the Wikipedia page)
- Bloody Baron
- Professor Cuthbert Binns
- Fat Friar
- Grey Lady
The grey Lady, Ghost of Ravenclaw
- Moaning Myrtle
- Sir Nicholas of Mimsy Porpington (a.k.a. Nearly Headless Nick)
- Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore
- Edgar Clogg (apparently this guy is only in the games…Thanks Argentia)
- A “Ragged Man Wearing Chains” (This ghost in chains could be
the Bloody Baron, or Jacob Marley, the ghost of Ebenezer Scrooge’s dead
partner, from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.) - A “Knight With An Arrow Sticking Out Of His Forehead.”
(Possibly, this is the ghost of could be Harold II [1022? - 1066]. He
was the last Saxon king of England. He was defeated at the Battle of
Hastings in 1066 by William the Conqueror. Harold was killed when an
arrow pierced his eye.) - The Wailing Widow from Kent
Those last three attended the Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington’s 500th Deathday Party.
I didn’t do too bad. I had forgotten about Sir Nicholas’s deathday party. That was a great part in the book. I think I need to go back and reread them.
Just to let you know… Edgar Clogg wasn’t in the books or the movies; he’s only in the games.
