Harry the Hypnotist was an ex-circus hypnotist who became the criminal known as Ghost Clown.

Physical appearance[]

Harry is an adult male who seemed to be either middle-aged or elderly. He is bald on the top of his head with the remainder of it being white and grown out. His ordinary clothes aren't known, as he only wears the red and orange clown costume, with long, black clown shoes.

Personality[]

Harry is greedy, as he had an act that led him to stealing, ended his career and had him sent to prison. In his disguise, he seemed callous and even sadistic, not to mention having a very dark and twisted sense of humour with no regards for the lives of those he hypnotized. He could've severely injured (or even killed) Scooby, Daphne Blake, and Shaggy Rogers by making them perform extraordinary feats under hypnosis. He was also vindictive as he was willing to go to great lengths to ruin the circus. While he was tied up and locked in an animal cage, he remained silent, but was clearly angry and bitter.

Skills and abilities[]

Harry was a highly intelligent and skilled hypnotist who could put anyone under a trance easily whether it was a person or an animal.

History[]

Early life[]

He worked at Mr. Barnstorm's circus until he was caught stealing and sent to prison.[1]

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You![]

Season one[]

Years later, he returned for revenge by dressing up as the Ghost Clown, scaring away the performers. When the gang came to investigate, he hypnotized Shaggy, Scooby, and Daphne to do dangerous acts in Mr. Barnstorm's circus, causing mayhem. He also fooled the gang by putting a balloon copy to put it in his place, he inflated it with a gas cartridge and it disappeared when he deflated. He was eventually defeated when Shaggy and Scooby used a mirror against him, and was left for the authorities once again.[1]

Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo![]

Harry was among the prisoners at Coolsville Penitentiary when the gang went there to visit Coco Diablo. He then called them "Mystery Stinks" and was shouted at by Warden Collins and then tricked into walking into an invisible wall. He was later accidently freed along with all the other inmates, but was recaptured by the gang using Coco's costumes and sent back to prison.

During the ceremony to receive the key to the city, Harry as the Ghost Clown hypnotized several citizens of Crystal Cove to become a gang of clowns and distract the crowd while he hypnotized Mayor Nettles, Commissioner Gordon and Sheriff Stone to blame Mystery Inc. for the crime occurred and arrests them, as revenge for the gang unmasking him and causing his second arrest in the past. The gang was then taken to their trial, where Harry would be their judge, but Batman and Batgirl invaded the place. Even though Harry tried to hypnotize the hero, he ended up running away and eventually found the Joker, who wasn't happy that another clown had stolen the show.[2]
