Justin Finch-Fletchley
A ghost who haunts one of the girls’ restrooms on the second floor, where Harry, Ron, and Hermione often meet to discuss and carry out their plans because it is usually empty. Most of the students make fun of Myrtle and her constant complaining, but Harry and his friends learn to tolerate her and treat her respectfully. At the end of the book, it is revealed that Myrtle is the student who was killed by the basilisk when the Chamber was opened fifty years earlier, and that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in her bathroom.
