We meet Myrtle at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nearly Headless Nick/|Nearly Headless Nick]]'s Deathday party. She seems a bit depressed, as many ghosts do; but [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peeves/|Peeves]] takes the opportunity to mock her to the point that she runs off, crying. Apparently as she returns to her bathroom, she turns on all the taps.
 
Later, passing the spot where Mrs. Norris, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch|Filch]]'s cat, was Petrified, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] realize that they are passing Myrtle's bathroom. They stop in to talk to her, but she is not terribly communicative. They are caught exiting from the bathroom by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy]], who threatens them with a House points penalty.

Later, Harry and Ron find Myrtle's bathroom flooded; apparently she has become upset because someone threw a book at her while she was resting in the U-bend. In her anger she has turned on all the water in the bathroom. Harry recovers the book, it turns out to be a diary, originally owned by one [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Marvolo Riddle|T. M. Riddle]] fifty years ago.
 
A clue in that diary leads Harry and Ron to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]], who in turn sends them to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Aragog/|Aragog]]. Aragog, in turn, mentions that the last time the Chamber was opened, a girl died in a bathroom. It suddenly occurs to Harry that this might be Moaning Myrtle.
 
On their way to visit Myrtle for confirmation, Harry and Ron are caught in the halls by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]]. Thinking up a reason for their being in the halls, Harry hits upon the idea of saying that they are trying to visit Hermione in the Hospital wing, as she has been Petrified. While visiting Hermione, they find a scrap of paper that she has torn out of a book which describes [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Basilisk|Basilisks]]; this tells them what the monster is.

Harry is given a hint to the Golden Egg clue by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory/|Cedric Diggory]], and as a result ends up taking the egg to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Prefects|Prefects']] washroom. Moaning Myrtle joins him there, appearing out of one of the faucets, to his dismay – Harry tries to hide his nakedness under the bubbles; Myrtle after all is a girl. Myrtle guides Harry towards what Cedric did to his Golden Egg: opening it underwater and listening to it there. While Harry is thinking about the meaning of this clue, Myrtle is telling how she became a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ghost|ghost]]; Harry largely ignores her. When Harry muses how he is going to breathe underwater, Myrtle becomes affronted at being reminded that she doesn't breathe any more.
 
During the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Second Task|Second Task]], Harry, swimming deep in the lake, is again accosted by Moaning Myrtle. Harry is surprised that she is able to get to the lake; she says that sometimes she is sent to the lake by surprise when someone flushes her toilet unexpectedly. She points Harry in the direction of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Merpeople|Merpeople's]] settlement under the lake.

At one point, Harry and Ron step into a bathroom to allow Ron to escape the clutches of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lavender Brown/|Lavender Brown]]. Myrtle appears and is disappointed, saying that Harry had promised to visit her and never did, and that she was hoping that it was the other, sad boy who was coming in. She says that he is worried because he has a task and he has been working at it for a long time, and is not succeeding. Ron manages to insult her by mentioning that she is dead, and she leaves through the plumbing, crying.
 
Harry, looking at the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Marauder's Map|Marauder's Map]], sees [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy/|Draco Malfoy]] in a nearby bathroom with Myrtle. Looking in at them, he sees that Draco is crying. Draco catches sight of him in the mirror, and immediately starts flinging curses at him. Harry retaliates. Draco starts to invoke the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Crucio|Cruciatus]] curse, but Harry stops him with the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Sectumsempra|Sectumsempra]] curse, one which he has read but never tried to use. This curse makes Harry's wand act like a very long knife, making great cuts appear in Draco's face and torso. Myrtle starts screaming; [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape/|Severus Snape]] appears and manages to heal Draco.

== Analysis ==
 
Most unusually for a ghost, it seems Myrtle does have some control over physical matter; apparently her haunting of the bathroom has rendered it unusable, mainly because she keeps flooding the place when she gets depressed. This is useful to the story in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']] in two respects: Mrs. Norris is Petrified (in the chapter [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber_of_Secrets/Chapter_8|The Deathday Party]]), rather than being killed, because she sees the reflection of the Basilisk rather than seeing the Basilisk directly. The image is reflected in the water that Myrtle has caused to flood out of the bathroom because she was so upset at the insults lobbed at her by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peeves/|Peeves]] at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nearly Headless Nick/|Nearly Headless Nick]]'s Deathday party. Additionally, it is Myrtle's unwelcoming presence in the washroom that allows Hermione the time and space to make [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Polyjuice_Potion|Polyjuice Potion]]; nobody willingly goes in there more than once, after being subjected to Myrtle's aggressive depression.
 
Myrtle's affinity for water also allows her to help Harry with the Second Task in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']]; as the second task involves the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Merpeople|Merpeople]] under the lake, Myrtle is instrumental in allowing Harry to solve the riddle surrounding the task, and also points him in the right direction when he is looking for the Merpeople during the task proper. Myrtle says that she sometimes ends up in the lake when someone flushes a toilet in her bathroom and she's not expecting it, which may lead us to wonder about Wizarding sanitation practices.
