- — Butterflies and bees hovering above the Burrow lawn[src]
The butterfly is a small winged insect with the ability to fly. They are related to moths, and have four states in life: egg, pupa, larva and adult.[3] There existed a spell which could be used to conjure butterflies.[4][5]
History[]
During the 1890–1891 school year, the new fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry investigated butterflies near the Forbidden Forest at the request of Clementine Willardsey and discovered they could be followed to treasure.[6]
In 1991, some butterflies could be found near Rubeus Hagrid's cabin.[1] In 1994, as the students of Hogwarts prepared to meet the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations, Parvati Patil wore a large ornamental butterfly on the end of her plait, but Professor McGonagall found it "ridiculous" and made her remove it.[7] Ron Weasley once had an old Shooting Star broomstick, which was so slow that it often was outstripped by butterflies.[8]
During the 1995–1996 school year, blue butterflies could be found fluttering throughout Hogwarts grounds.[9] On 1 August 1997, butterflies and bees were hovering lazily over the grass and hedgerow on the property of The Burrow as the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour kicked off.[10]
Later that year, when Harry Potter and Hermione Granger visited an abandoned electrical substation on their mission to destroy Horcruxes, butterflies were seen flying around in the area.[11] Ambrose Turner was a butterfly Animagus.[12]
