While whether she made a serious attempt to force entry following her initial rejection is doubtful, the Stairwell Gargoyle apparently managed to hold his ground against Umbridge for the remainder of the year.Īt the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger went to the Headmaster's office, and the Gargoyle (who had been a rather battered by the battle) let them in without a password, telling them to move along without worrying about itself. However, she was unable to penetrate the Headmaster's Office, shut out of it by the Gargoyle (presumably backed by the Sorting Hat and Headmaster portraits). Late in the year, Dolores Umbridge proclaimed herself the Headmistress of Hogwarts after Albus Dumbledore was forced to into hiding. The Gargoyle rarely spoke during its duties.
The Gargoyle was tasked with guarding the stairway to the Headmaster's Office, only stepping aside if it heard the right password.
Like all of the Hogwarts Gargoyles, it is likely that it was carved at some point in the past (before 1992, at any rate) and was enchanted into sentience. The Stairwell Gargoyle was a stone gargoyle, described as large and ugly.
