"Small fish flickered past him like silver darts."
— Fish in the Great Lake[src]

A fish (plural: fish or fishes) is an aquatic gill-bearing vertebrate animal. With more than 34,300 living species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates.[1] Ichthyomancy was a method of divination involving the use of fish.[2][3]

Fish existed both in the wizarding world and the Muggle world. Several kinds of fish were one of the possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[4] Piscifors was a transforming spell, which transformed the target into a fish.[5]

Uses in potions[]

Some fish organs, such as spines and eyeballs, were used in potion-making. Puffer-fish eyes, which could be purchased in Diagon Alley for 5 Galleons per jar, were one of the potion ingredients in the Swelling Solution.[6] Powdered Spine of Lionfish could be used in the brewing of certain potions, including the Wiggenweld Potion[7] and the Herbicide Potion.[8]

History[]

In the 19th century, after her parents forbade her to marry a merman, Mirabella Plunkett transfigured herself into a haddock and was never seen again.[9] From the 1970s to 1981, Horace Slughorn had a pet fish named Francis, gifted to him by Lily Evans.[10]
