Nearly Headless Nick
Nearly Headless Nick is a ghost character in the Harry Potter series, the resident specter of Gryffindor house at Hogwarts.
His full title is Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, and his nickname refers to a botched beheading that left his head attached by a thin strip of flesh—a source of ongoing frustration since he cannot join the Headless Hunt.
