Best odd thing from HP
(Dumbledore's chamber pot incident, the mad knight etc.)
Barnabas the Barmy.
An enormous moving tapestry depicting Barnabas the Barmy's foolish attempt to train a group of eight trolls for the ballet hung on the seventh floor corridor of Hogwarts Castle, opposite the entrance to the Room of Requirement. The small group was portrayed by a forest clearing, and some of the trolls were hitting Barnabas with their clubs.
I just need to understand why Barnabas felt the need to train trolls. To show that trolls could be tamed? I'm not really sure. But I've always imagined watching the tapestry and Barnabas repeatedly being clubbed by the trolls and eventually be sat on.
Imagine being famous for being so bonkers.
