Mirror of Erised "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.

The horse (binomial name Equus ferus caballus) is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae.[1] It was a possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[2]

History[]

The fictional witch Babbitty Rabbity featured in one of the tales of Beedle the Bard's made a horse levitate.[3]

There were magical versions of horses in the wizarding world, such as winged horses and unicorns. The lower bodies of centaurs were of horses, which caused some wizards and witches to mistake them as half-breeds of horses and humans. The body of a Hippogriff was half-horse and half-eagle.[4] The Qilin was a magical beast that was part-horse, and part-dragon.[5]

In 1927, while Gellert Grindelwald was looking for a place to live temporarily during the search for Credence Barebone, four horses were used to carry a hearse carriage to carry the caskets of a Non-Magique man and woman that were both murdered by his acolytes.[6]

Ginny Weasley's Patronus took the corporeal form of a horse.[7]

In his first flying lesson in September 1991, when Harry Potter's broomstick was one of the only ones to fly up to his hand on his command, he noted Hermione and Neville had failed to do the same and thought that broomsticks might be like horses, able to tell when one was afraid.[8]
