The Grim, in the Harry Potter books

I believe the answer is:

omen

(Other definitions for omen that I've seen before include "Forewarning, harbinger" , "Straw in the wind" , "premonition" , "Event regarded as a prophetic sign of good or evil" , "Harbinger, augury" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
