"Listen, we're going down to the middle of the train — Lee Jordan's got a giant tarantula down there."
— Fred or George Weasley[src]

This tarantula belonged to Lee Jordan in the 1990s.[1]

Biography[]

Lee Jordan brought this tarantula to Hogwarts in his third year there. He kept this spider in a box while boarding the Hogwarts Express on 1 September 1991. Lee Jordan showed it to his best friends Fred and George Weasley on the train.[1]

Lee Jordan lost his pet tarantula at Hogwarts Castle on the 1992–1993 school year and put up a notice at the Gryffindor pasteboard. Harry Potter subsequently retrieved it, as he found it wandering around the library.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

  • By bringing a tarantula, Lee broke the school rule that only allowed students to keep cats, owls and toads. However, this could be more of a guideline than a hard-and-fast rule, as other students have been shown bringing various other small creatures, such as the Weasley rat called Scabbers or Ginny's Pygmy Puff called Arnold.
