"A little owl with a slightly flattened, hawk-like head peered down at them from one of the branches."
— Description of owl[src]

A hawk is a huge kind of bird related to the eagle and likes to build it's nest in the hights.

A tarantula hawk is a kind of wasp that hunts tarantulas. An infestation of these could be found on the grounds of Hogwarts Castle in the 1992–1993 school year.[1]

The Hawkshead Attacking Formation, a Quidditch tactic invented by Darren O'Hare in which the team's Chasers fly together in an arrowhead towards the opposition goalposts, is named after the hawk.

A hawk-like owl were seen circling around the Lovegood house in 1997 and may have been used by Xenophilius Lovegood to send a message to the Death Eaters that Harry Potter was in his house.[2]
