- — Elizabeth Burke's portrait[src]
Elizabeth Burke[1] was a witch. She had portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle, depicting her as a dark-dressed witch in a ruff and sporting a very pointed hat. She appears to be a pure-blood witch, seeing as she tells Slytherin students to be "nasty to Mudbloods."[2]
Biography
Early Life
Elizabeth probably attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Slytherin.
1991–1992 and 1992–1993 school years
By 1991, Elizabeth's portrait was hung at the Grand Staircase, above the stairs between the archway to the Entrance Hall and the doorway to the first-floor.[3]
During the next school year, Elizabeth's portrait was maintained at the same place at the Grand Staircase.[4]
1995–1996 school year
By 1995 her portrait was no longer hung by the first-floor landing of the Grand Staircase, but two floors below, at the Entrance Dungeon. During this school year, she hid a secret passage to the Main Dungeons. In order to gain passage, one had to give her the password "Slytherins are Supreme", which only she and the Slytherin students knew about[2]. There was another portrait of her, hung near the entrance to the Potions Classroom, hiding a passage to the seventh-floor corridor. Its password was "Facta, non verba".[1]
1996–1997 school year
By the next school year, her portraits no longer hid any secret passageway, nor did they stay on the same walls.[5]
