I know it's said that cats, owls, and toads are allowed at Hogwarts, but other than that, what other pets are allowed at Hogwarts? We've seen students with a crow, ferret (Albus Potter), rat (Ron), half-kneazle (Hermione), Puffskeins/Pygmy Puffs so clearly other pets are allowed at Hogwarts besides the main three.

Which pets are not officially allowed to Hogwarts?

According to the Hogwarts supplies list, students are allowed to take an owl or a cat or a toad. However, Albus took a ferret and an owl to Hogwarts. The rule may have been changed by 2017.
Evil wizards aside, the world of Harry Potter is teeming with life, most of which comes in the form of powerful and terrifying magical beasts. Arguably, the most dangerous of them all are dragons, but your character is clearly built different as you can now tame and fly them around the school.
