HBP Appearance?

Was Binns in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.131.14.82 (talkcontribs).

Just checked it out and it appears that he wasn't. -Smonocco 12:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

He is not mentioned per name but all Hogwarts ghosts should have attended Dumbledores funeral, so I think he must have been there. Harry granger 19:41, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Grading papers

Binns in LEGO Harry Potter

Is Binns in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4? If so, could anyone take a screenshot of the teacher? We could put it as the infobox picture or include it in the article, as there are not many images of him. Thanks, El Profeta Vespertino 11:16, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Bumping. Yes, he is. He can be found on the Grand Staircaise. --Rodolphus 09:08, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Image

I've putted a new picture of Professor Binns, I think is more adequate than the other one, btw, couldn'nt find a picture of him on LEGO HP Y 1-4 but found him in the game, don´t remenber where. Ptsimpson 01:36, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Where is the new image from? In my opinion. it looks like fannon.--Rodolphus 09:23, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

it is fannon, there aren´t any official, found it on google and I tnink if there isn't any official choose one that anyone can relate to what they imagined Ptsimpson 13:07, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

The image we have on the article is official as it's from the video game adaptation of Chamber of Secrets. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 13:11, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
I know but that one doesn´t really give an idea of what he might look like, if you want the other back Ptsimpson 16:52, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
We cannot use the other one, since it's not from a canonical source. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 17:18, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
There is a ghost in the Philosopher's Stone played by Arnaud Adam. He has also a beard like the lego Binns. Could he perhaps be Prof. Binns. It was when all the ghosts come to the welcoming feast for the students. I found it on this site: http://www.psychoengine.com/pages/autographs/harrypotter/HARRYPOTTERautos.html Harry granger 22:20, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

This seems likely, given Aurora and Septima were bades on actors.--Rodolphus 08:42, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

All the ghosts that appear in the Philosopher's Stone film have medieval clothes. Binns, on the other hand, has a more modern-looking suit. Also, the pictures of the ghost played by Arnaud Adam do not resemble Binns at all: Arnaud has a large feathered hat, Binns doesn't; Arnaud has long hair, Binns is bald; Arnaud has a short black beard, Binns has a long white beard. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 20:28, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Another thought: In the Prisoner of Azkaban film, there is an unidentified ghost walking through the students. If I remember correctly, it was balding. Could it have been him?--Rodolphus 09:51, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Could you upload an image of him, or mention the scene? Thanks, El Profeta Vespertino 10:13, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
Unidghost

I can´t upload an image. It´s in the third film, after the start-of-term-feast, when the fat Lady is trying to sing. Fortuna Major - she finally opens. - the Gryffindor students enter, straight through an unidentified ghost.--Rodolphus 10:20, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

I think this is the ghost you are refering to. I doubt he is Binns, as he has no glasses nor beard, but it could be.
--El Profeta Vespertino 10:38, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Right. My memory was wrong. We could create Unidentified ghost (I), couldn´t we?--Rodolphus 10:41, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Quote

During the wait in line for the Forbidden Journey at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Harry and Ron are heard talking about Binns. I think the quote sums him up pretty well and could be used for the opening of the article:

Harry Potter: "The point is, Professor Binns is very, very boring. Which is understandable, because he's ..."
Ron Weasley: "Dead?"
Harry Potter: "Yeah."
Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley[src]

Thoughts? --Parodist 19:44, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

That sounds pretty good. i am harry potter 16:33, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Official Death Year

Where was it stated that he died c. 1991? --KiumaruHamachi 15:03, August 20, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Participation in the Hogwarts battle

From the article:

"1997-1998 school year

It is possible that Professor Binns took part in the Battle of Hogwarts against the Death Eaters during the 1997–1998 school year. "
