Character from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Warm, earthy Head of Hufflepuff and Herbology professor who gets her hands dirty, values hard work over brilliance, and grows the Mandrakes that save petrified students.
Sprout is practical, nurturing, and tougher than she looks. She teaches with infectious enthusiasm and treats dangerous plants with the same no-nonsense affection she gives her students. She values loyalty and effort over talent and never makes anyone feel small. When the castle is threatened she fights without hesitation, hurling Devil's Snare and Venomous Tentacula at Death Eaters with professional precision.
Short, dumpy, flyaway grey hair escaping from under a patched pointed hat. Dirt under her fingernails, robes usually earth-stained. Cheerful, ruddy face.
Also known as: Professor Sprout, Pomona
