The Headless Hunt is an organization of ghosts whose heads have been completely severed from their bodies. The organization is headed by Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore.
[edit] Activities
The Headless Hunt participate in head-intensive events such as horseback head juggling and head polo. The Gryffindor ghost, Nearly Headless Nick is annually denied admission to the Headless Hunt despite only a half inch of skin holding his head to his neck.
- "We can only accept huntsmen whose heads have parted company with their bodies. You will appreciate that it would be impossible otherwise for members to participate in hunt activities such as Horseback Head-Juggling and Head Polo. It is with the greatest regret, therefore, that I must inform you that you do not fulfill our requirements. With very best wishes,"
- —Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore[src]
[edit] The Battle of Hogwarts
The Headless Hunt also made an appearance in 1998 when they flew by Harry Potter just as he escaped the Room of Requirement with the Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem during the Battle of Hogwarts. How they assisted is not known as ghosts cannot affect the solid world.
