Knarl was Barnaby Lee's pet Knarl and the twin brother of Karl.[2]

Biography[]

He had a long-lost twin brother, Karl, in the possession of Millicent Bagnold.[3]

During the 1985–1986 school year Knarl was one of the creatures that were kidnapped by Todd and Corrine Cribb. When Jacob's sibling rescued them they were returned to Barnaby.[4]

During the 1986–1987 school year, Barnaby decided to throw Knarl a birthday extravaganza named "Knarlenbarn". Bagnold also brought Karl to the party, allowing the brothers to reunite.[3] He also may have been invited to that year's Lee Family Toast as well has having a verse written about him by Barnaby which was recorded in the Book of Toast Giver verses.[5]

During the 1988–1989 school year, Barnaby wanted Knarl to be Jacob's sibling's co-star in the play Equinox Enchanted, and they taught him some stage directions. Before the dress rehearsal, Knarl went missing, and he was later found on stage, but due to a sudden exclamation of Barnaby, he got spooked and ran around, destroying the sets and costumes being prepared.[2]

Later that same school year, Barnaby noticed that Knarl had been acting mopey for an entire week and that he refused to eat any of the daisies he offered him. In an attempt to figure out how to improve Knarl's mood, Barnaby brought Knarl to visit Professor Silvanus Kettleburn in the Care of Magical Creatures Classroom. While there, the two encountered Jacob's sibling, who was similarly looking for Kettleburn for help with calming down an adolescent Jackalope. The young Jackalope attempted to play with Knarl, but he was uninterested.[6]

After discussing with Kettleburn, Jacob's sibling decided to address both their and Barnaby's problems by holding a race in which the young Jackalope could compete against the pets of other Hogwarts students to tire itself out. After convincing Liz Tuttle, Tulip Karasu, and Percy Weasley to have Sir Ribbithe, Dennis, and Scabbers participate and gathering Jacob's sibling's Jackalope to participate as well, the students decided that the prize for the race would be bragging rights and the title of "Fastest Pet of the Day," as Knarl would think that any food-based prize was a trap. They then agreed to host the race on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.[6]

During the race, Knarl, who was considered the underdog of the participating pets, slowly walked around the racetrack. Meanwhile, while both Jackalopes were much faster, they eventually ran out of energy and fell asleep on the pitch. Moreover, Sir Ribbithe and Dennis initially moved forward before Sir Ribbithe was distracted by a Glow Bug, leading to both him and Dennis turning around and moving in the wrong direction, while Scabbers refused to move from the starting line. This left Knarl as the only pet participating in the race, with him eventually crossing the finish line and becoming the winner. Winning the race seemed to notably improve Knarl's mood, much to Barnaby's relief.[6]

At the beginning of the Quidditch season, Knarl sneaked into the Changing Room and, finding a piece of treacle tart, tore up Jacob's sibling team uniform.[7]
