The shark (superorder Selachimorpha) is a type large carnivorous fish characterised by five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head.[1] A shark is one possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[2]

History

In a 1913 Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry concerning Boggarts, a student's Boggart changed into a shark, to which the student used the Boggart-Banishing Spell to turn it into a flotation device.[3]

For the second task of the Triwizard Tournament in 1995, Viktor Krum partially transfigured himself into a shark to complete it.[4]

The Dukuwaqa, mascot of the Fijian National Quidditch team, is a magical creature capable of shape-shifting between the forms of a shark and a human.[5]

Behind the scenes

  • Sharks were briefly mentioned in the W.O.M.B.A.T. test as a question about what would receive the heaviest punishment. Another one of the questions discussed using the Cruciatus Curse on a shark attacking a Muggle.
