- "He put Hagrid's flute to his lips and blew. It wasn't really a tune, but from the first note the beast's eyes began to droop. Harry hardly drew breath. Slowly, the dog's growls ceased — it tottered on its paws and fell to its knees, then it slumped to the ground, fast asleep."
- — Harry Potter playing the flute to make Fluffy fall asleep[src]
A flute is a woodwind instrument that does not use a reed to produce sound.[4]
History[]
There was a shop named Flutes and Lutes in Hogsmeade that sold musical instruments.[5]
In 1927, the warble flute was regarded to be developmental to the jazz scene of New Orleans.[6]
Rubeus Hagrid gave Harry Potter a flute for Christmas in December 1991.[1]
In 1992, Harry realised the suspicious coincidence in Hagrid wanting a dragon more than anything else, only to meet a stranger who had one to give him. He, Ron, and Hermione ran to ask him about the man who gave Norbert to him, and he told them he never saw his face, and that the man was dressed in a cloak. Hagrid also mentioned that they talked about Hogwarts and Fluffy the three-headed dog. Hagrid let it slip how to get past Fluffy by playing music, which sent Harry, Ron and Hermione off.[2]
After finding out that no one would do anything to help, they went to the third-floor corridor at night under the Cloak of Invisibility and Harry played the flute, which caused Fluffy to fall asleep.[2]
On 1 September 1993, while performing before the Start-of-Term Feast, the Hogwarts orchestra used two flutes to play.[3]
Flutes were used during the Triwizard Tournament Yule Ball on 25 December 1994.[7]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid has a flute, but it isn't mentioned whether Hagrid got Harry anything for Christmas. Additionally, instead of Harry using a flute to put Fluffy to sleep, there is a harp which is already playing when the trio get to the room with the trapdoor. This gives away that someone had already been there before the trio, as, in the book, Fluffy was awake when they arrived. Also in the film, Hagrid is shown sitting outside his hut playing a section of Hedwig's Theme on a flute.
