"I saw the strangest creature just now, hiding in the shadows. It looked to be part baby and part bat, very creepy!"
— The Muggle woman after catching a glimpse of Dobby[src]

This woman was a British Muggle who witnessed a secrecy breach in 1992.[1]

Biography[]

On 1 September 1992, this woman stood near Platform Nine in King's Cross Station in London, looking for the train going to Kettering, but found a guide-board that showed it. She also glimpsed Dobby hiding in the shadows after he blocked the barrier to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, unknowingly exposing herself to wizarding world, describing him as a creepy "part baby and part bat" creature.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

  • The woman's description of Dobby may be a reference to "Bat Boy" a fictional character created by the American tabloid magazine Weekly World News. Bat Boy also first appeared in 1992.
