Sirius Black's barn owl

This Barn Owl was owned by Sirius Black.

He used it to deliver a letter to his godson Harry Potter.

Harry found the owl in his dormitory where he was informed by his best friend Ron (whom both had temporarily fallen out at the time) that it was there.

Behind the scenes
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, there is a different type of owl delivered to Harry, which also had a tendency to bite people. The owl in the book did not bite Harry.
