Ugly Myrtle! Miserable, moaning, moping Myrtle! She is a squat ghost with lank hair, pimples, and thick glasses. She seldom smiles and takes offense at the least excuse, crying rivers of tears and wailing. She had been hiding in that bathroom because she was being teased by Olive Hornby, when she heard someone come in and heard that person speaking.
It was hours before anybody found her body GF After her death, Myrtle decided to haunt Olive Hornby to make her pay for teasing her, and followed Olive around until the Ministry had to step in and stop her GF 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. Myrtle expressed her unhappiness at Harry never coming to see her. Myrtle told them that another boy also came to the bathroom crying and alone Draco Malfoy , but she refused to tell either of them his identity when they asked her, as she had promised to keep Draco's secrets.
Myrtle comforted him, feeling that she understood him, though in fact his situation was nothing like hers. When Draco and Harry engaged in a violent duel, Myrtle, as usual, enjoyed the spectacle. The last time Myrtle was seen by Harry Potter was when she was ordered to leave the bathroom by Severus Snape. Myrtle sulking in her second floor bathroom , contemplating being a ghost. In in an alternate reality created when interference from Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy resulted in Cedric Diggory badly losing the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament , the two sought a way to reach Hogwarts's Great Lake , unsatisfied with the changes they had made.
They hoped to interfere with Diggory in the Second Task as well, but in order to do so, needed a means to reach the grounds. They realised that they could do so from the pipes in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
Upon seeing them, Myrtle said it had been a while since there had been boys in her bathroom, but noted that she had a soft spot for Potters and was once partial to a Malfoy as well. As such, she helped them by showing them how they could access a pipe to reach the lake. At Harry's request, Myrtle explained to him what the boys had told her about their plans to save the life of Cedric Diggory, noting that she could never keep anything from him.
She also described him Harry as becoming more handsome as he had aged, and taller as well. Myrtle was a squat student with pimples and thick glasses. She died in and became a ghost, wearing her school uniform, as well as her glasses, for eternity.
Moaning Myrtle, who died at Hogwarts years before Harry started school, still haunts the bathroom where she died, exacting revenge on her school bullies whenever she can find time to take a break from sobbing in the bathroom and living in the Hogwarts toilets. Despite her difficult nature, she actually proves useful during her interactions with Harry. In Chamber of Secrets , Harry eventually discovers that the mythical monster of Slytherin house, a basilisk, is housed in a secret chamber directly beneath Myrtle's bathroom which is how she died , and in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , she assists Harry as he tries to decipher one of his tasks for the multi-school Triwizard Tournament, even though she does so while spying on a year-old while he takes a bath.
Perhaps the weirdest part of Henderson's Potter role is that she was 37 years old when she first played the year-old ghost of Myrtle, but regardless, she fit the role perfectly.
Immediately after exiting the Harry Potter franchise in , Shirley Henderson found herself in a project fit for royalty — Sofia Coppola's avant-garde Marie Antoinette. The film stars Kirsten Dunst as the titular, doomed queen of France, who enjoys a life of pure excess before meeting a particularly grisly end during the uprisings of the French Revolution.
Madame Sophie might not have been a leading role, but it was an important one, proving that Henderson was the perfect utility player in everything from indie films to period pieces to blockbusters.
After Harry Potter , Henderson continued her prestigious streak with her next international project, one based on a classic novel by British writer Winifred Watson. Before long, she meets Delysia Lafosse Amy Adams , an American socialite, singer, and actress who invites Guinevere into her home as a social secretary. However, when Guinevere discovers that Delysia is in relationships with three separate men, the situation takes a bit of a turn. In the film, Henderson plays the crucial supporting role of Edythe Dubarry, a trendsetter and fashion icon who throws lavish parties and is deeply involved with Joe Bloomfield Ciaran Hinds, who also appeared in the Potter films as Aberforth Dumbledore , which is particularly complicated thanks to Guinevere's crush on Joe.
Thanks to a small yet talented cast and positive reviews , Miss Pettigrew continued Henderson's winning streak after leaving J. Rowling's wizarding world. With a screenplay by venerated writer Tom Stoppard, the film retells the timeless story of the aristocratic socialite Anna Karenina Knightley , who quietly endures a loveless marriage with her husband Alexei Karenin Jude Law until she falls in love and begins an affair with the handsome and enigmatic Count Vronsky Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
In the aftermath, she ends up shunned from society, and when she finds herself backed into a corner, Anna takes some pretty drastic steps. So what about Shirley Henderson? Well, she plays a small but crucial role as Meme Kartasov, a vengeful society woman horrified to be in Anna's presence, and though her role in the film is minimal, it turns out to be an extremely important factor in Anna's eventual downfall.
