Changes: Head of Gryffindor House

Revision as of 12:16, 22 November 2014

We must've been through hundreds of books already and we can't find him anywhere —

This article is lacking a section listing all of its known appearances in canon. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by adding such a section, so that it conforms with our layout guide.

The Head of Gryffindor House is a Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the specific role of looking after the students in their House. It is unknown how a professor would be elected for the post, but it's most likely that the headmaster chooses the professor whom embodies all the qualities Godric Gryffindor himself had (bravery, daring, conscientiousness, etc.) and was probably in Gryffindor House when he/she was at Hogwarts.

Every portrait in Gryffindor Tower depicts a current or former Head of Gryffindor.^[1]
