A Young Professor McGonagall was the name of a portrait of Minerva McGonagall which hung on a wall within the Gryffindor common room, located inside Gryffindor Tower.[1] The portrait depicted McGonagall when she was younger, standing next to a black cat,[1] while possibly still Head of Gryffindor House.

It was during his tenure that the Chamber of Secrets was first opened by Tom Riddle since its creation by Salazar Slytherin in around A.D. 993. Unknowingly, Dippet was indirectly responsible for the end of the attacks by telling Riddle…

This portrait of Albus Dumbledore was an enchanted painting that hangs in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
