What dogs are in Harry Potter?
Not all dogs which appear in the Harry Potter universe are as they seem. Some are kept as pets and companions, others as guardians to ensure their masters are kept safe. Some are only dogs temporarily, as is the case when a character uses magic to take the form of a dog.
Some of the dogs in the films don't quite resemble their corresponding descriptions in the books. There are some dogs which are recognizable as an existing non-magical breed. Others appear to be an amalgamation of certain breeds or stand out for their magical characteristics. We don't have many three-headed dogs in our breed files section.
If you are looking for some Harry Potter dog names, here we show you the dogs which appear in Harry Potter:
- Fang: called a Boarhound, an alternate name for a Great Dane, Fang is Hagrid's pet and nowhere near as vicious as his name suggests.
- Ripper: an English Bulldog, one of 12 which belong to Muggle Marjorie Dursley. She had eleven others, but they were not given names.
- Fluffy: another of Hagrid's pets, this time much more ferocious. He has three heads and is put to sleep by music.
- Sam: a Puggle (Pug/Beagle cross) which survived the Millennium Bridge disaster.
- Grim: a death omen which takes the shape of a sinister looking dog of no specific breed.
- Sirius Black: appears as a dog due to his ability to shapeshift as he is an animagi.
- Ron Weasley: also can change when he casts a Patronus spell and appears as Jack Russel Terrier.
The following characters also have dogs which are unnamed:
- Rosmerta
