"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 Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of stories written for young wizards and witches. They have been popular bedtime reading for centuries, with the result that the Hopping Pot and the Fountain of Fair Fortune are as familiar to many of the students at Hogwarts as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to Muggle (non-magical) children."
- — J. K. Rowling[src]
The Sleeping Beauty was a popular Muggle fairy tale. In this tale, the heroine, a princess, is put on a "prolonged nap" by a wicked fairy godmother.[1]
Muggle author J. K. Rowling has noted the difference between this fairy tale and wizarding children's stories: fictional witches are much more active in seeking their fortunes than the Muggle fairy-tale heroines. Asha, Altheda, Amata and Babbitty Rabbity are all witches who take their fate into their own hands, rather than than taking a hundred year-long nap, as the protagonist of Sleeping Beauty does.[1]
Inspiration
Despite it is just viewed as a children's story by Muggles, this tale seems to be an actual account of the incident caused by the Hag Leticia Somnolens in the Middle Ages, where a Wizard Prince used the Wiggenweld Potion to awaken a Princess who had been given the Draught of Living Death by the Hag, by putting some of the potion on his lips and then kissing the princess.[2]
Behind the scenes
- Imelda Staunton, who plays Dolores Umbridge, portrayed one of the fairies in the 2014 reimagined film adaptation of Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent.
Appearances
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) (Indirectly mentioned only)
