Doesn't Harry Potter have one of those big birds?


What a jip.



I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.

That "big bird" is an actual mythological creature, idiot.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ever since glancing at this board I've been wondering why these people think that PoA came up with griffins. I think the one in HP had hooves anyways.

Yeah! It's bugging the *beep* christ out of me!

Do you even know what a phooka is?!?!

No, no! Neither did I!

reply

No the thing in harry potter is a hippogriph(sp?) the one in spiderwick is a gryphon(sp?) HP bird is a horse and an eagle i think. and spiderwick bird is a lion and an eagle. look it up!

Irony level critical.

Yes you are.

Harry Potter had a hippogriff (http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/hippogriff). Mr. Spiderwick's pet was a griffin (http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/griffin). A hippogriff, as everybody knows, is an offspring of a griffin and a filly.

The only creature that can hunt a hippogriff is a griffin. So Harry Potter would most likely never have made it in The Spiderwick Chronicles. Thank goodness for Jared! Good thing he's a New Yorker!

Neither a griffin nor a hippogriff has any relation to Big Bird. For that you need to go back to Sesame Street.

In English the adjective [big] is used to describe the noun [bird], not the seasme street character, you idiot.

That was sarcasm. Don't you see it seeping out of your computer screen? But they're right, not only are they different creatures, they're not creations of J.K. Rowling. They were created way, WAY back.

That's true, jfc5-1. And OP? Don't go saying that having a hippogriff is a "jip" because it's a mythical creature, not a creation. I feel like that comment might be coming.

NOTE: This is not sarcasm. You seem to have some problems noticing what is and what isn't, so I figured I'd point it out.

Harry Potter has a Bat Mobile not a Griffin. Look it up.

What's weird is that a bird of prey is rather intimidating when you see one up close, in person for the first time. There is no way anyone would just walk over and start petting a griffin without any trepidation, considering how much larger than a real world falcon one would be, if griffins existed.

Sesame Street has had a big bird for years.

It's that man again!!
