Favorite Magical Pet
There are a lot of wonderful magical creatures in the Potterverse. Pets that our beloved characters owned include: Arnold the Pigmy Puff by Ginny (which I adore the thought of!), owls galore (Hedwig reigning supreme among them), a skeevy rat I'm sure Ron wished he never laid eyes on, Trevor (Longbottom's flighty toad), Figg's cats, Voldemort's super scary snake Nagini, Hermione's odd cat Crookshanks, Hagrid's brief ownership of a dragon, and many more cats, dogs, and the like. While there are many of them that would be amazing to own myself, I would want Fawkes far more than any other.
Fawkes is magical, loyal, and helps Dumbldore and Harry when they are in dire straits. He's immortal which is my kind of animal. Feeling the sting of loss from a loved pet wouldn't happen with him as he turns to ash and is reborn among them. His tears have healing powers and he's able to teleport wizards and carry large weight. His song is able to give listeners courage and help them remain calm. Yep, I'm fascinated by phoenixes and would absolutely want one as a pet.
Which magical pet is your favorite?
The Owl has to be my fav. But I also love owls in general.
ReplyDeleteUgh I totally forgot about Fawkes, even though I'd love love to have a phoenix as a pet! That's be not only super cool but also pretty handy. I mean you'd be warm and healthy... :D Super awesome indeed ^^
ReplyDeletePigmy Puffs are cute also :D
I have to agree as Fawkes would be an amazing pet. I like that he would out live me. Losing a pet is one of the worst feelings ever. Plus they are pretty brave, the Basilisk he took on was 100 times his size. But as you said Loyalty brought him and his bravery took the basilisks main weapon.
ReplyDeleteoky i guess my fav magical bet will be a Phoenix ,, it have great power and its very loyal :)
ReplyDeleteFawkes is one of the most beautiful magical creatures in the series. It was awesome how he healed Harry in the Chamber of Secrets, but I think my favorite Fawkes moment was when he and Dumbledore escaped from Fudge and Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix- love that scene in the film! :D
ReplyDeleteI get that. I have friends who are pretty obsessed with owls. Hedwig is a beautiful one too.
ReplyDeleteI've loved phoenixes so much since HP so Fawkes is always top of mind. He would be such an amazing pet :D
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the reasons it's hard for me to get a pet. I really don't want to feel that sting. Yeah, beating that basilisk was mobad.
ReplyDeleteRight! exactly :D
ReplyDeleteI adore that part! I didn't even know he could work around the apparition blocks they had on the castle so it was really awesome when that happened :D
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great pets in this series! I love the idea of almost all of them, but Fawkes is a great pick! I mean it's the pet that will never die, that sounds beautiful. Phoenixes are really very convenient pets if you think about it. They have the power to do almost anything. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Hedwig will always be my #1 (and Hedwig is also the reason I can't handle re reading the last book) <3 that beautiful snowy white owl!
ReplyDeleteLove fawkes as well but wouldn't mind having Hedwig or Buckbeak either
ReplyDeleteFawkes!! ♥ I have SUCH a soft spot for that Phoenix! His relationship with Dumbledore is definitely part of the reason, their bond warms my heart and thinking of his sad song with Dumbledore died makes me want to cry all over again. His magical abilities are fantastic as well :D Awesome pick ^^ sorry I'm late stopping by, I moved last month and ended up without internet at home for over 2 weeks O.O I'm only starting to catch up! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteSo true. They really have so many wonderful qualities and attributes. I would absolutely love having one. Thanks so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHedwig is amazing, I'll agree! It was a very sad moment during the last book definitely.
ReplyDeleteowls are definitely a favorite! I know a lot of people that just love them :D
ReplyDeleteI feel the same! I would love having Hedwig or Buckbeak as well :D
ReplyDeleteEeeek! No internet! Fawkes is brilliant. I love that he was so close to Dumbledore that he would only come to someone's aid if they were loyal to him. That speaks volumes. That song also was so heartbreaking. Thanks for stopping by :D
