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 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.
