- — Advert at Eeylops Owl Emporium[src]
The brown owl is a species of owl, noted for its superb binocular vision and directional hearing, making them excellent hunters towards rodents and voles.
The brown owl was one of several species of owls sold at Eeylops Owl Emporium. One could purchase it for 10 Galleons.[1]
It was also a corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[2]
History[]
On 22 January, 1995, Harry Potter sent Sirius Black a letter by a brown owl informing him about the events that he had seen and overheard regarding Barty Crouch (or so he believed at the time), Severus Snape and Mad-Eye Moody (actually Bartemius Crouch Jnr) the night that he visited the Prefects' bathroom to work out his golden egg clue.[3] A brown owl was amongst the owls that delivered hate mail to Hermione Granger in February 1995 following the publication of the article "Harry Potter's Secret Heartache" in Witch Weekly.[4]
