Nearly Headless Nick

Character from Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Gryffindor's house ghost, a jovial 15th-century nobleman whose botched execution left his head hanging by a thread. This year he throws a Deathday Party and is petrified alongside Mrs Norris -- the first hint that whatever is attacking students isn't alive.

Also known as: Nick, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, Nearly Headless Nick
