Fluffy



Fluffy is a giant three-headed dog owned by Rubeus Hagrid. Fluffy will fall asleep when somebody plays music around him. Hagrid originally brought Fluffy "from a Greek chappie" down the pub. Hagrid used Fluffy to guard the Philosopher/Sorcerer's Stone during the 1991 - 1992 school term. After his duties were done, Hagrid set Fluffy free into the Forbidden Forest, where he presumably still lives.

Behind the Scenes
Originally, Rowling intended for Fluffy to participate in the Second Battle of Hogwarts; Hagrid would have come in astride him with Grawp close behind. This idea, however, was scrapped before the novel came out.
