"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.

A snail is a mollusk with a coiled shell.[4] Streelers are a magical variety of snails.[1]

History[]

Snails could be eaten as food, called escargot, and this was popular in France, where macarons sold by Les Galeries Mirifiques sold 'Flavours of France' macarons in snail, frog, and champagne flavours.[5]

During the 1993–1994 school year, a time-travelling Hermione Granger threw a shell, resembling that from a snail, into Hagrid's hut, which struck Harry Potter in the back of the head.[6]

In the 1995–1996 school year, snails were used in Transfiguration class as part of the Vanishing Spell curriculum. As an invertebrate, they presented less of a challenge in vanishing than a vertebrate like a mouse, though it was still considered some of the most challenging magic of its type.[7][8]
