Hermione: "No, Harry. Even in the wizarding world hearing voices isn't a good sign."
Unidentified portrait: "She's right, you know!"
Hermione Granger and portrait after Harry Potter hears voices[src]

This portrait of a wizard hangs at the bottom of the Grand Staircase of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Hogwarts Castle. In 1992, Hermione Granger told Harry Potter that it wasn't a good sign to hear voices, even in the Wizarding world, unaware that the voices he was hearing was really the Parseltongue of Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk going through the school's pipes. The subject of this portrait agreed with her. [1]

Behind the scenes

  • This portrait's subject may have passed away sometime prior to 1992 as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals. This individual's clothing suggests he lived during the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
