“Moaning Myrtle was sitting on the tank of the end toilet.

“‘Oh, it’s you,’ she said when she saw Harry. ‘What do you want this time?’

“‘To ask you how you died,’ said Harry.

“Myrtle’s whole aspect changed at once. She looked as though she had never been asked such a flattering question.”

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Moaning Myrtle is not a Hogwarts house ghost, but as I mentioned in the Hogwarts House Ghosts C2C Crochet Afghan intro post, she’s crucial to the whole Harry Potter story. This Moaning Myrtle C2C Crochet Block is actually the first of the ghost blocks that I designed. I chose to use a blue background for her because Myrtle Warren was sorted into Ravenclaw House.

Harry Potter first meets Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets after the first threatening message concerning the Chamber of Secrets is painted onto the wall and Filch’s cat Mrs. Norris is petrified. He and Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger go into the girls’ toilet to look for clues. They later use the same bathroom to brew polyjuice potion. Toward the end of the book, they realize that it was Myrtle who was killed by the basilisk and go to ask her how she died. After hearing her story, Harry is able to deduce the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

Because of Myrtle’s importance to the story, I chose to include her as a bonus block in the Hogwarts House Ghosts series.
