- — Finding one of the five talking gargoyles.[src]
The Comedic Female Gargoyle is one of the talking gargoyles in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is located on a stairwell on the the third floor of the castle, just outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom. It loved to tell jokes to anyone who would listen.
During the 1995–1996 school year, Professor Binns assigned his Fifth year students the task of listing five talking gargoyles as a homework assignment. Harry Potter located the gargoyles as a favor to Dean Thomas so that he could attend the first meeting of Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement.
Like the others, casting Incendio on the gargoyle would cause it to breathe fire.
