Professor Sprout. Professor of Herbology and Head of Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts
|
Professor Sprout is a small, earthy witch, with a patched hat and greying hair. She is also the Head of Hufflepuff
house and Professor of Herbology. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the second barrier preventing access to the
stone is Sprout's Devil's Snare, a nasty plant which squeezes its victims harder the more they struggle to be free. In
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, she teaches Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students to repot mandrakes, magical roots
which scream when pulled, a sound which can kill if the mandrake is full grown. Fortunately these mandrakes are only small
and the class are equipped with fluffy earmuffs to protect them from the mandrakes' cries. One of the properties of
mandrake root is the curing of petrification, so the plants are very useful for restoring all the victims of the Basilisk's
stare.
