- "I'm a man of few words; I barely speak! Find someone else if discourse you seek."
- —Percival Pratt's portrait[src]
Percival Pratt was a wizard poet. He has a portrait hung in Hogwarts Castle's Grand Staircase. He is portrayed as a man in a red robe, writing on his desk, with a starry sky and a full moon behind him. He is often heard saying rhymes and riddles to students who walk by. He often encourages students to "take time every day to rhyme what [they] say." Mr. Pratt's portrait guards a shortcut between the Grand Staircase and the Boathouse. The password of this shortcut brings out the absurd character: "This password is absurd". [2]. However, in the next school year he did not guard any secret passageway anymore.
