A box that may have been marked with the mark of Merlin
The mark of Merlin was a "mysterious rune" that the Medieval legendary wizard Merlin used to mark his possessions, namely, a gleaming jet black box.[1]
Behind the scenes
- This mark is only mentioned as a possible answer to a hypothetical question posed during the sorting quiz on Pottermore. Therefore, it is unclear if Merlin actually used this symbol as his mark in historical canon.
- Oddly, the box that supposedly bears this mark appears to be completely plain other than the lock. It is possible that the mark is merely on a side of the box that is not seen, however.
Appearances
- Pottermore (First mentioned)
- Wizarding World (Mentioned only)
