A vole is a small rodent resembling a mouse but with a stouter body and a shorter, hairier tail and a slightly rounder head.[3]
History[]
The Owlery floor was covered in regurgitated skeletons of these creatures, indicating that they are a favourite food of owls.[1] An Aged witch near Knockturn Alley warned Harry Potter in 1992 not to go from Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley, and threatened him with turning him into a vole.[4] Jarveys are known to eat these.[2]
A vole is one possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[5]
