The camera Colin was using was an older film camera, likely a single lens reflex camera. He was executed by an improper decapitation, after he had a magical mishap with Lady Grieve, in which he tried to straighten her teeth but it backfired and she grew tusks. Since then, he became the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower at the Hogwarts Castle.
And this is why Hermione does not fit into Ravenclaw, since she lacks their creativity of thought. Skip to content. When Harrys asks what creatures live in the lake at Hogwarts, she admits there are all sorts of creatures as well as the giant squid. She sometimes goes down there, mostly when someone flushes her toilet unexpectedly. She is impressed when Harry realises there are merpeople in the lake, but takes offence when Harry asks her how he is meant to breathe underwater: she thinks it insensitive to ask when she can't breathe herself.
She is sad when Harry leaves the bathroom, and asks him to visit her in her bathroom sometime soon. Pottermore Wiki Explore. Recent blog posts. Explore Wikis Community Central.

The camera Colin was using was an older film camera, likely a single lens reflex camera. She died instantly, and returned to haunt Olive Hornby, a girl who used to tease her.
On April 16, Hermione is attacked by a mountain troll in Hogwarts. In , sometime into Myrtle's education, the Chamber of Secrets was opened for the first time. Hogwarts was soon facing closure as Muggle-born students were being mysteriously attacked by the mythical beast thought to be down inside the Chamber.
On her final day of her life, 13 June , Myrtle was teased by student Olive Hornby , who made fun of Myrtle's glasses and left Myrtle alone sobbing. Myrtle then ran into one of the bathroom's stalls and started crying. Shortly after Myrtle had entered the bathroom, Riddle entered and started speaking in Parseltongue in order to open the Chamber of Secrets , the entrance of which was hidden behind the sink in front of the very stall occupied by Myrtle at the time.
The Serpent of Slytherin a basilisk then emerged from the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. The monster had been using the pipes as a means of transportation, as to not be seen and therefore never being caught. Myrtle, still in one of the stalls, recognised the voice as being that of a boy. Opening the stall's door, she was about to yell at Riddle to go away.
On Riddle's command, the Basilisk stared at Myrtle and her eyes met with the monster's. Since looking into a Basilisk's eyes is a fatal act, Myrtle was killed instantly and her body fell to the bathroom floor, becoming Tom's first victim. Myrtle's body was removed from the school after its discovery and, following her death, Myrtle returned as a ghost so she could haunt student Olive Hornby in revenge for her bullying.
Myrtle attended the wedding of Olive's brother uninvited, and apparently caused a massive scene to remind Olive of she bullied her, causing a huge mess. Olive went to the Ministry of Magic to restrain Myrtle, who was thereafter obliged to remain at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As a result of her haunting, her lavatory grave was rarely used, and was thus available for clandestine activities, such as forbidden potion -brewing, as long as one did not mind the company.
Myrtle attended her first deathday party held by Sir Nicholas , and also Erling later on, on 31 October She danced with Jacob's sibling in the ballroom. The true importance of Myrtle's bathroom was that it contained the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets , the home of the basilisk of Salazar Slytherin. In the — school year, the Chamber was opened again, fifty years after its previous opening, by a Gryffindor first year , Ginny Weasley , who was possessed by the diary of the earlier opener, Tom Riddle.
Myrtle later flooded her bathroom in a fit of pique when Ginny tried to dispose of the diary by flushing it down the toilet in Myrtle's stall. They learned only that, according to Draco's father Lucius Malfoy , the last time the chamber was open a Mudblood was killed and that, contrary to their suspicions, Draco was not the Heir of Slytherin.
Harry and Ron later learned from Aragog the Acromantula that the murdered student had been killed in a bathroom, and Harry realised that the student must have been Myrtle. It is possible that Harry was the first person to treat it as something worth asking about.
Myrtle remembered only having seen a pair of enormous yellow eyes, but neither Harry nor Ron recognised this as a clue that the monster was a basilisk. Hermione had already deduced the monster's nature by library research before she was petrified , so Myrtle's clue was of no practical importance.
However her presence in the bathroom combined with Hermione's clue about the basilisk's use of pipes did single the bathroom out as the entrance to the chamber of secrets. Myrtle speaking to Harry whilst he takes a bath and helping him solve the Golden Egg riddle.
Before the second task, the champions had to solve the mystery behind their golden eggs , which, when opened, emitted a harsh screeching sound. The secret was that the noise became speech when heard underwater. One champion, Cedric Diggory , decided to meditate upon the clue in the prefects' bathroom. Myrtle spied on Cedric in the tub, admitting to Harry that it took Cedric a long time to figure it out; nearly all the bubbles in the bath were gone by the time he cracked it.
Cedric later suggested to Harry Potter that he take his egg the prefects' bathroom. With Myrtle's hints, Harry was able to decipher the riddle. Myrtle also appeared to Harry whilst he was in the Black Lake , and pointed him in the right direction to find the village of the Merpeople , thereby helping him to reach the Tournament hostages before the other champions. In , Harry and Ron encountered Myrtle in the boy's bathroom as they were talking.
