Revision as of 17:35, 27 December 2009
The Old Posh Baron was a portrait at Hogwarts Castle, portraying a kind, polite old nobleman.
History
1991-1992 school year
In the 1991-1992 school year, it hung in a Portrait Room next to the Great Hall, guarding a secret chamber where a Nimbus 2000 was kept. The password to this room, "Fizzy Pop", was traded to Harry Potter for fifty earwax flavour Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans by Fred and George Weasley. [2]
1992-1993 school year
In the next school year, the Portrait Room where the Baron's portrait hung became an out-of-bounds area, so the portrait was moved to a secret room behind a bookcase, guarding a small chamber with a lever. [3]
Behind the Scenes
- This individual may have died sometime prior to 1991, as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals.

Notes and references
- ↑ His title may be indication that he was either a Muggle-born or half-blood wizard. According to Remus Lupin, there are no princes in the wizarding world, and this presumably means that there is also no other nobility.
