The goat is one of the oldest domesticated species of animal and closely related to sheep.[4] A dom was the gallbladder of a goat, used in the wizarding game of Aingingein.[5] It was a possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[3] Aberforth's Patronus took the form of a goat.[6]
Giants, such as Karkus, were known to eat dead goats.[1] Dragons including the Hungarian Horntail and Peruvian Vipertooth were also known to feed on goats.[7] There was a spell that turned a satchel into a goat.[8]
History[]
The Dumbledore family kept goats when Aberforth Dumbledore and his siblings were kids.[6] Aberforth was fond of keeping goats for pets, such as Matey, which he kept in his pub in at least 1995.[9] He was later known for a somewhat unusual affection for goats.[10]
The story Grumble the Grubby Goat featured a goat named Grumble, who attracted flies; this story was a favourite of Aberforth Dumbledore, although his brother Albus disliked it.[11] Aberforth once performed illicit charms upon them and receiving a hearing from the British Ministry of Magic. This caused much libel against him, although he was unperturbed by this; his brother Albus suspected this was because Aberforth couldn't read.[10]
The bezoar, as mentioned by Professor Severus Snape on 2 September 1991, was a stone taken from the stomach of a goat.[12] Rubeus Hagrid, gamekeeper and Care of Magical Creatures Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, possessed a small number of goats, which he kept in the grounds.[13]
