- "I’m sure I’ve read about a case of Hippogriff-baiting where the Hippogriff got off. I’ll look it up for you, Hagrid, and see exactly what happened."
- — Hermione Granger[src]
Draco Malfoy being attacked by Buckbeak
Hippogriff-baiting was an action wherein a witch or wizard intentionally baited a Hippogriff into hostile behaviour.[1]
There was a known legal case about Hippogriff-baiting where the Hippogriff was let off.[1] A book on Hippogriff-baiting was kept in the Legal Section of the Hogwarts Library.[2]
History[]
In 1993, after Buckbeak attacked Draco Malfoy in a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, the Hippogriff was sentenced to execution. Trying to avert the execution, Hermione Granger promised to look up the nature of Hippogriff-baiting to use for an appeal.[1]
