Dragon-hide gloves (or dragonskin gloves)[6][2] were protective gloves made from the hide of dragons. As dragon hide was very tough, as well as being resistant to spells, these types of gloves were exceptionally useful in protecting the wearer from a multitude of dangers, such as burning or being bitten.[3]
History[]
Dragon-hide gloves
Dragon-hide gloves or similar protective gloves were required as part of the Hogwarts uniform.[1] These gloves were highly useful and practical for Herbology, particularly with the handling and cultivating of various dangerous plants.[5][3]
In 1890, a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry lost their dragon-hide gloves in the Hogwarts greenhouses which were possibly picked up by the Herbology Professor Mirabel Garlick.[7]
These gloves could be purchased at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for three Galleons and eleven Sickles in 1991.[8]
During a lesson in which Rubeus Hagrid had his fourth-year Care of Magical Creatures students take the Blast-Ended Skrewts for a walk in 1994, he advised that they might to put on their dragon-hide gloves as an added precaution.[4]
In late 1995 at Hogwarts, when the weather become colder and the Castle's tempreature dropped significantly, many students wore their dragon-hide gloves for warmth in between lessons in corridors.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- In a deleted scene from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter asks Rubeus Hagrid if they mean from real dragons.
- In the GBC version of the Philosopher's Stone video game, a pair of gloves were a requirement for first-year students. Because of the requirement to purchase this item, it cannot be sold by the player.
