Wailing Widow

"Not a bad turnout. The Wailing Widow came all the way up from Kent… It's nearly time for my speech, I'd better go and warn the orchestra…"

- Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington to Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger during his five-hundredth Deathday Party.

The Wailing Widow was a female ghost from Kent. She was a close friend of Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington as she attended his five-hundredth Deathday Party, having had to travel all the way from Kent to Scotland.
