"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

"Small, round windows just level with the ground at the foot of the castle show a pleasant view of rippling grass and dandelions, and, occasionally, passing feet."
— The Hufflepuff common room's window view[src]

Grass was a type of plant that typically had narrow leaves, stems, and roots. It was a common ground cover in lawns and meadows.[1]

Grass was also one of the known flavours of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.[2]

The Hogwarts grounds were full of grass, which could be seen from the round windows of the Hufflepuff common room.[3]

History[]

"The Dursleys wouldn't have liked it — there were plenty of weeds, and the grass needed cutting"
— The Burrow garden[src]

When Harry Potter visited The Burrow for the first time on 1 August 1992, the grass in its garden was described as "needed cutting".[4]

The portrait of Sir Cadogan depicted him sat on a fat pony on a stretch of grass.[5]

In the 1996–1997 school year, during her first Potions class with Professor Horace Slughorn, Hermione Granger could smell freshly mown grass and new parchment from a cauldron of Amortentia, the most powerful love potion.[6]

"- spreading across Dobby's front, and that he had stretched out his own arms to Harry with a look of supplication. Harry caught him and laid him sideways on the cool grass."
— Dobby the free elf reaching his end[src]

On 1 August 1998, shortly before the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour at The Burrow, the outside area had butterflies and bees hovering over the grass.[7]

Dobby's grave

Later in late March 1998, after Dobby the house-elf was stabbed with Bellatrix Lestrange's knife, Harry Potter laid him on the grass near the Shell Cottage, where Dobby's grave was later dug.[8][9]

In the 21st century, Simon Talmadge admitted that he liked an oil painting of a unicorn eating grass in a forest, which was hung at Hogwarts.[10]
