After Scabbers, Ron's old pet rat, disappeared (having been found out to be Peter Pettigrew), Sirius Black, who felt partly responsible for Ron's loss of a pet, sent him Pigwidgeon (nicknamed "Pig").
Pigwidgeon is a Eurasian Scops Owl. In the Harry Potter books, Pigwidgeon is gifted to Ron Weasley from Sirius Black partly as an apology for taking away Ron's beloved pet rat.
This adorable pet doesn't exist in the movie universe, although it makes two appearances — in a background scene during the sixth film, and in a promo photograph for the fourth. There was no real need to remove Pigwidgeon, though, as he would have served to highlight the more sarcastic aspects of Ron's character.
Scabbers was Ron Weasley's pet rat. Passed down throughout the family, by the time he came to Ron, Scabbers was living up to his name with patchy fur and a distinct preference for sleeping.
But he had Scabbers in first through third year, before he was revealed to be Pettigrew, and Pigwidgeon the owl after that. Scabbers had been passed down to Ron from Percy, when Percy got his owl, Hermes, and Pig was a gift from Sirius to apologise for him being the cause of Ron losing his pet rat.
Why was Ron Weasley allowed to bring a rat to Hogwarts? The instructions given to Harry stated that first-years were allowed to bring an owl or a cat or a toad. Scabbers was technically a hand me down from his older brother so Ron was stuck with him.
It is unknown what happened to Crookshanks while Hermione was searching for Horcruxes; most likely, he stayed in the Weasley's care, given Ginny's fondness of cats. Alternately, he may have left the Weasley household alone.
Image via Warner Bros. One of the most egregious changes from book to screen is the choice to make Ron practically nothing more than Harry's goofy, insignificant, and empty-headed sidekick. This is particularly true in Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, and Half-Blood Prince, but is present in all eight films.
Loyalty. This was an eagle owl owned by Draco Malfoy. During Malfoy's first year at Hogwarts School, the owl delivered daily packages of sweets from his mother. How much do you know about Draco Malfoy?
Peter spent twelve years living in his Animagus form as the Weasley family's pet rat, Scabbers. However, his identity was exposed by Sirius and Remus in 1994, and Pettigrew, with nowhere else to go, sought protection in returning to the service of Lord Voldemort, whom he found in the forests of Albania.
Harry's owl Hedwig is a two-foot tall Snowy Owl. (Portrayed as a female, it's actually a male - you can tell because it's pure white.) Ron Weasley, Harry's friend, also has an owl, named Pigwidgeon, a Scops Owl.
In the spring of 1998, during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor, in a moment of rare mercy, he hesitated to strangle Harry Potter when Harry reminded him of his life debt. The silver hand Lord Voldemort had given Pettigrew interpreted his hesitation as weakness or disloyalty, and strangled him to death.
Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow was the incantation of a most likely nonsensical and non-existent spell fabricated by George Weasley that could supposedly change Ron Weasley's pet rat Scabbers's fur colour to yellow, but did not have such effect.
Scabbers was actually, as we know, Peter Pettigrew, an unregistered animagus hiding out as the Weasley's pet rat. No matter how hard he focussed his intention on turning the rat yellow, or even if he'd said the words rattus colovaria (erm, we did our best) the spell would never have worked because the rat wasn't a rat.
In the Shrieking Shack, it is revealed that Crookshanks befriended Sirius Black, an Animagus wizard who can communicate with Crookshanks while in his dog form.
Has JK Rowling confirmed that Crookshanks was the Potter's cat? No, she hasn't. It's very unlikely that she will, as this (entirely fan made) theory's only basis is that he liked Sirius (in the books, this was omitted in the films) and hated Scabbers.
Peter 'Scabbers' 'Wormtail' Pettigrew is Ron Weasley's pet rat. He is an old, rather useless rat and Ron pretends to hate him, but he is secretly very attached to the rat. Scabbers used to belong to Ron's older brother, Percy.
Marietta was described as having curly, reddish-blonde hair. After she was struck with the parchment jinx for betraying the D.A., she bore pimples spelling "SNEAK" across her face.
Hermione also knew that her parents, and anyone else she associated with, would be in serious danger because of her friendship with Harry. And so, she chose to erase herself from her parents' minds. Hermione wanted to keep her parents safe from Voldemort by ensuring he had no reason to come knocking.
Yes , she did fix after the battle of Hogwarts.. J.K. Rowling confirmed that immediately after the Second Wizarding War ended , Hermione went to Australia and restored and fixed her parent's memories. She brought them home and they presumably resumed their lives as dentists .
Arnold - A small, purple pygmy puff, Arnold is the beloved pet of Ginny Weasley. She buys Arnold from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and he is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
In the case of the Weasleys' attic, the ghoul is used as part of the ongoing illustration of the Weasley family's relative poverty; the idea, one supposes, is that rich families have house-elves to take care of them.
Nothing says Hallowe'en horror more than slug slime mixed with Ron Weasley's vomit, right? Poor Ron was only trying to curse Draco Malfoy for calling Hermione a Mudblood.
