Phineas Nigellus
|
Template:HP Character Phineas Nigellus is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series. Great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black, Nigellus is considered to be the least popular headmaster Hogwarts has ever had. Nigellus' portrait hangs in Albus Dumbledore's office along with the portraits of the other ex-headmasters and headmistresses.
Like the other portraits, Nigellus must serve the current headmaster. He does not enjoy doing this. He does not get along well with his great-great-grandson, young people or most people for that matter.
