Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington[src]

Gregory the Smarmy (fl. 1189) was a medieval wizard who invented Gregory's Unctuous Unction, a potion that makes the drinker believe whomever gave the potion is his or her best friend.

Early in the 1991-1992 school year, Lee Jordan discovered a secret passage that Fred and George suspected was probably this one. A statue of Gregory the Smarmy is located on the fifth floor corridor.
