Owl

Owl

This is not strictly a magical creature, as it is well known to Muggles. Wizards, however, enjoy a far closer relationship with the Owl than Muggles do. Owls are used for communication between wizards, acting as a wizard-to-wizard postal service. Letters, parcels and Howlers are all delivered this way. Owls have a good level of comprehension, as they are able to understand who to take any messages to, and are also able to find them no matter where they are. As well as personal communication, Owls are also used for commercial purposes, such as the Owl Post Office, and the delivery of newspapers and magazines such as the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler.
