Harry Potter Moment of the Week (5): Favorite Creature

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
Favorite Creature from the Series

Ever since the regally handsome Buckbeak knocked Draco Malfoy on his arse, hippogriffs have become my favorite magical creature in the wizarding world. Not only are hippogriffs beautiful and intelligent, but they are also proud and extremely loyal. I thought it was brilliant that these creatures allow a person to approach them only after that person earns their approval. My fondness for these magical creatures also stems from the relationship between Buckbeak and Sirius Black. These two guys went on the run together and I can easily see them parading about the open sky.

    1. It was kind of hard to choose just one creature, there are so many to choose from.

  2. hahaha that opening sentence is made of win! YES, hippogriphs are among my favorite HP creatures too! I agree, the bit how people can only approach them after being sort of deemed worthy is pretty neat! The bond Buckbeack & Sirius Black developed always gets me right in the feels :*) I liked him a lot with Hagrid too though hehe Awesome choice!!

  3. I agree! I love hippogriffs, and Buckbeak was fantastic. I loved getting to see him grow close with Harry, Hagrid, and Sirius. I also really love phoenixes. Wonderful answer :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

  4. I totally agree with you here! It's all so beautiful. Speaking of Malfoy though, I have grown oddly fond of ferrets ever since... :)

    1. Haha, I used to want a pet ferret, after Goblet of Fire thought my opinion changed.

  5. I always love the hippogrifs too. I wish we could've met more then just one in the series.

    1. Yeah, it would have been cool to see more than one hippogriff. I still love Buckbeak though!
