Unidentified Gryffindor man (IV)

"They were going to do me in watercolors, you know."

- The portrait speaks to Harry Potter

This individual was a wizard who, in his lifetime, was Head of Gryffindor House.

A portrait of this wizard hung in Gryffindor Tower. In 1994 when Harry Potter opened his golden egg he was terrified and was seen holding his hands over his ears. In 1995, he lamented the lack of a background in his picture, noting that the portrait of the Quidditch Player on the opposite wall had an entire Quidditch pitch.
