MOANING MYRTLE

Introduced during the Chamber of Secrets fiasco during Harry Potter's 2nd year at Hogwarts, "Moaning Myrtle" is the only known name of this gloomy girl ghost. With thick glasses, limp hair and a perpetually morose expression, she haunts the toilet where she was killed over 50 years ago. Myrtle started out as merely an annoyance, especially when Harry, Hermione and Ron were using her restroom to mix the Polyjuice potion; but she later turned out to be a vital part of solving the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets, for it was the Chamber's mythical beast (a basilisk) which killed her when Tom Riddle opened it for the first time. Myrtle has perhaps the lowest self-esteem out of any other HP character. Indeed, the only thing she prides herself on is haunting Olive Hornby, the peer who tormented Myrtle the most during life, until the Ministry of Magic made her go back to her toilet. Myrtle seems to have taken quite a liking to Harry. She helped him during his 2nd task of the Triwizard Tournament, and even offers to share her toilet with him if she should prematurely perish. Glum as she usually is, Myrtle does know how to have some fun, as demonstrated by her habit of spying on the prefects in their lush bathroom. ;)

"'Oh, yes, very easy to forget Myrtle's dead,' said Myrtle, gulping, looking at him out of swollen eyes. 'Nobody missed me, even when I was alive. Took them hours and hours to find my body - I know, I was sitting there waiting for them....'" GoF, pg 404
