The Janus Thickey Ward was a ward located in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, and usually kept locked to prevent the patients from wandering about. The ward housed residents whose minds had been permanently been affected by spells. One of the Healers, Miriam Strout, was a fussy, good-natured witch who tended to treat Gilderoy Lockhart like a child.
