Moaning Myrtle
One of the ghosts at Hogwarts, who earns this nickname because someone tried to behead him and didn’t cut his head off all the way. This is particularly upsetting to Nick because it prevents him from joining a ghost club called the Headless Hunt. Nick helps Harry escape detention from Filch, and in return Harry, Ron, and Hermione attend his five hundredth deathday party on Halloween. Nick is also attacked by the basilisk along with Justin Finch-Fletchley.

Quotes
Harry didn’t know what to say. He thought of Malfoy shouting, “You’ll be next, Mudbloods!” and of the Polyjuice Potion simmering away in Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom. Then he thought of the disembodied voice he had heard twice and remembered what Ron had said: “Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the Wizarding world.” He thought, too, about what everyone was saying about him, and his growing dread that he was somehow connected with Salazar Slytherin. . . .
