of keeping witches and wizards secret from the Muggles
The
headquarters of the Ministry of Magic is located in the heart of London. The

weather Magical Maintenance has chosen for the day, from bright sunshine to
hurricanes. Visitors' Entrance A visitor to the Ministry of Magic comes to
a broken-down red telephone box located on a dingy street which has several
shabby offices, a pub, and a wall covered with graffitti. When the telephone
in the box is dialed (62442, the word M-A-G-I-C), the welcome witch's voice
answers. Visitors state their business, upon which a silver badge pops out
with the visitor's name and purpose of visit. Then the telephone box drops
down like a lift for about one minute, after which the visitor is in the Atrium.

Moaning
Myrtle
Ghost
that haunts the girl's toilet. Killed by a basilisk.
She died June 13, 1943. ref Chamber of Secrets page 180 (british edition)
"The pages of the diary began to blow as though caught in a high wind, stopping halfway through the month of June. Mouth hanging open, Harry saw that the little square for June the thirteenth seemed to have turned into a minuscule television screen."
She moans loudly and complains that no one likes her (which is probably true.) She told Harry that if he were to die she would willingly share her u-bend with him. The Myrtle plants are a kind of tree. They are often called Crepe Myrtle because their flowers are wrinkled and have the look of crepe paper. There is one species of it Eugenia Ventenatii or Weeping Myrtle called so because its branches hang so much, there is also a plant called the Bog Myrtle. Latin name is Myrica gale, The Bog Myrtle is so called because it lives near swampy or boggy ground. Bog is a childish English slang word for toilet. Another perfectly reasonable explanation however is that Moaning Myrtle is simply a play on words similar to Weeping willow
