TOM the BARKEEP

'Tom' is the only known name of the friendly old landlord of the Leaky Cauldron pub in London, which is also the gateway to Diagon Alley. Very bald and wizened and slightly stooped, Tom is described as resembling a 'toothless walnut', a description that cracks me up every time I read it. Tom is on a first-name basis with Hagrid (a regular customer) and Minister Cornelius Fudge (for whom he keeps an eye on Harry Potter during the Sirius Black scare of his 3rd year, while he stayed at the Leaky Cauldron), and he was the first wizard to recognize Harry Potter when he finally made his reappearance into the wizarding world at the age of 11. While most likely very old, Tom seems to keep the rooms at the Leaky Cauldron much cleaner and more homey than portrayed in the 3rd movie.

"Tom now moved forward, beaming at Harry. 'If you'll follow me, Mr. Potter,' he said, 'I've already taken your things up....' Harry followed Tom up a handsome wooden staircase to a door with a brass number eleven on it, which Tom unlocked and opened for him. Inside was a very comfortable-looking bed, some highly polished oak furniture, a cheerfully crackling fire, and perched on top of the wardrobe-- 'Hedwig!' Harry gasped. .......'Very smart owl you've got there,' chuckled Tom. 'Arrived about five minutes after you did. If there's anything you need, Mr. Potter, don't hesitate to ask.' He gave another bow and left." PoA, pg 47
