This dummy is a magical female doll in a dress that sits at the window of Purge and Dowse, Ltd, which leads to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. To enter the hospital, a witch or wizard must declare to the dummy their reason for visitation. Harry Potter thought it looked particularly ugly.
