Professor Helbert Spleen was a Healer who worked at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. He doubled as an advice columnist for the Daily Prophet, answering only the questions which related to health, while Grizel Hurtz, Zamira Gulch, and Dempster Wiggleswade handled other topics.[2]

Biography

In one issue, Spleen replied to a letter from Howland Coopey, diagnosing him with Dragon Pox based on the symptoms he described.[2]

During the Calamity, a Calamity Investigator had a meal with Spleen, who showed them several ways to modify the harvesting, handling and incorporation of Dittany.[3]

Magical abilities and skills

  • Healing magic: Spleen was a professional Healer, meaning he would have been skilled with healing magic.[2]
  • Herbology: Spleen was also skilled with handling and using magical medicinal plants, such as Dittany, to which he showed a Calamity Investigator how to best harvest, handle and utilise the said plant.[3] As a Healer at St Mungo's, he would have needed a N.E.W.T. in this subject at either "Exceeds Expectations" or "Outstanding".[4]
  • Charms: As a Healer at St Mungo's, he would have needed a N.E.W.T. in this subject at either "Exceeds Expectations" or "Outstanding".[4]
