Random Harry Potter Pets (20 items)

• 

  (#13) Francis

  Owner: Horace Slughorn 

  Species: Fish 

  Notable Skills: Francis starts his life as a lily petal that Lily Potter transfigures to become a fish as a gift for Professor Slughorn. 

  Best Trait: He brings great joy to Professor Slughorn. 

  Worst Trait: He is connected to Lily, creating double sadness for Slughorn when the fish disappears. 

  Most Memorable Moment: Slughorn tells the story of Lily Potter's gift to him during her time at Hogwarts. He reveals that Lily set a petal to float inside a bowl of water. When Slughorn walked in, the petal fell and turned into a fish. Slughorn kept the fish for many years, only to find that one day the fish had disappeared. Francis's disappearance was caused by Lily's demise at the hands of Voldemort, as the fish was tied to her life.

  (#1) Fawkes

  • Harry Potter

  Owner: Albus Dumbledore

  Species: Phoenix

  Notable Skills: Fawkes is a highly intelligent bird. His tears have healing properties. He is immortal; although he periodically perishes by bursting into flames, he is then reborn from the ashes. Fawkes is immune to the gaze of a basilisk and can swallow a curse instead of perishing from it. Fawkes is also extremely strong and can apparate at will, taking people with him when he teleports to a new location. Fawkes's phoenix song can instill courage and calm in those who hear it.

  Best Trait: Fawkes is extremely loyal and courageous, and is always willing to enter entanglements when he senses Dumbledore is in danger.

  Worst Trait: He abandons the school after Dumbledore's demise, seeing no reason to stick around and fight Voldemort after the passing of his master. His abilities could be essential to Harry in later skirmishes, but Dumbledore's passing allows him to be a wild phoenix once again, which he promptly takes advantage of.

  Most Memorable Moment: When Harry encounters Salazar Slytherin's basilisk, Fawkes blinds the serpent by pecking out its eyes. He then drops the Sorting Hat into Harry's lap, which reveals Godric Gryffindor's blade and allows Harry to slay the basilisk. When a fang pierces Harry's arm with basilisk venom, Fawkes uses his tears to heal the piercing and saves Harry's life. He then brings Tom Riddle's diary to Harry, allowing him to get rid of it for good. In short, Harry would never have survived the basilisk onslaught if not for Fawkes.

  (#16) Trevor

  Owner: Neville Longbottom 

  Species: Toad 

  Notable Skills: Neville is always losing Trevor, but that also implies Trevor is constantly running away. He's an expert at hiding from his owner. He's so good, in fact, that he eventually disappears from the Harry Potter stories altogether. 

  Best Trait: He's the reason Hermione meets Ron and Harry on the first Hogwarts train. When he runs away from Neville, Hermione joins the search, running into her two new best friends along the way. 

  Worst Trait: He's always running away from Neville, forcing the poor kid to spend most of his time looking for him. 

  Most Memorable Moment: When Neville tests a shrinking solution during Professor Snape's class, he uses Trevor as his subject. Snape warns the solution might be poisonous if made incorrectly, but Neville makes Trevor drink it anyway. Much to Neville's relief, Trevor shrinks into a tadpole. Upset by his success, Snape deducts five points form Gryffindor because Hermione helped Neville with his potion.

  (#9) Fluffy

  Owner: Rubeus Hagrid 

  Species: Three-headed dog 

  Notable Skills: In contrast to his name, Fluffy is actually a fierce and terrifying creature. He's enormous and has three vicious heads complete with razor-sharp teeth. 

  Best Trait: Fluffy is somewhat docile around certain people. Hagrid expresses a close bond with him, and the two are friendly enough to get Fluffy to the third corridor, where he guards the Sorcerer's Stone. Fluffy has a tame side; it just takes a while to connect with him. 

  Worst Trait: Fluffy falls asleep almost immediately when he hears music, and stays asleep for the duration the music plays. While it's a good trick to calm him, it also means he's vulnerable as a guard dog. 

  Most Memorable Moment: Dumbledore borrows Fluffy from Hagrid and commissions him to guard the Sorcerer's Stone. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn that someone sneaked past Fluffy to find the stone, they decide to go after the culprit. When they arrive at Fluffy's location, they notice an enchanted harp at his feet playing music that keeps him asleep. As they try to sneak around him, the enchantment wears off, but Harry puts Fluffy right back to sleep by playing the flute. 
• 

  (#15) Matey

  Owner: Aberforth

  Species: Goat

  Notable Skills: Matey likes to run away from Aberforth and cause disruption in the Hog's Head pub. 

  Best Trait: He's a cute little goat who distracts Aberforth from the meeting of Dumbledore's Army. 

  Worst Trait: He sits inside the bar, which probably doesn't smell too great for the Hog's Head customers. 

  Most Memorable Moment: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione enter the Hog's Head pub for the first meeting of Dumbledore's Army, Matey darts out from behind the bar counter. Aberforth follows him into another room, yelling at him to come back. 
• 

  (#20) Scabbers

  Owner: Ron Weasley 

  Species: Rat 

  Notable Skills: Although rats of his type are only expected to live for three years, Scabbers lives with the Weasleys for 12. His grand life expectancy is probably due to the fact that he's not a rat at all, but rather Peter Pettigrew in disguise. As a rat, Scabbers is fairly uninteresting. Ron claims that all he does is eat and sleep. 

  Best Trait: He sticks by the Weasley family for years, giving them a convenient pet when they can't really afford one. 

  Worst Trait: He's actually Petter Pettigrew, a loyal follower of Voldemort, a total coward, and a general bad guy. 

  Most Memorable Moment: When Sirius Black escapes from behind bars, Scabbers grows uncomfortable with his current situation. He's scared Sirius will find him and avenge the Potters, who Peter helped to slay. He starts to thin and bald from the stress, causing lots of worry for Ron. Eventually, he fakes his own slaying. He bites himself and leaves a trail of blood, convincing Ron that Crookshanks ate him.
