Foxes are small to medium-sized members of the canine family.[6] Foxes were among the non-magical creatures which inhabited the Forbidden Forest, along with deer.[3] It was a possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[7]
History[]
In 1992, Rubeus Hagrid suspected that either foxes or Blood-Sucking Bugbears from the Forbidden Forest were responsible for killing his roosters.[3] In 1993, Lavender Brown's pet rabbit, Binky, was killed by a fox.[5] Augusta Longbottom owned a scarf made of fox fur.[8]
In the summer of 1996, Bellatrix Lestrange killed a fox near Spinner's End with a nonverbal Killing Curse, as she thought it might have been an Auror.[4] In either 1997 or 1998, E. Dingbat wrote about a creature known as the Tent-fox in a Quibbler article.[9]
Seamus Finnigan's Patronus took the form of a fox and he used it during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998 to repel several Dementors from himself, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna and Ernie.[10] Seamus had attempted to cast a Patronus back in the 1995–1996 school year during a Dumbledore's Army lesson, but his focus was not strong enough and it vanished before its corporeal form could be identified.[11]
