in philosophers stone,hagrid buys hedwig for harry could this be because this is the owl dumbledore wanted harry to have because hes an animagus? as someone to keep an eye on him? it is surprising how dumbledore seems to know everything thats going on with harry. is hedwig an insider? this sounds stupid but i just wondered.
Thankssssssssss tongue.gif

Hmm. Don't really know, but do we have any evidence at all suggesting Hedwig could be an animagus? BTW, Hedwig is a girl.

I'm pretty much sure I've read this one before, but I simply can't find it now for the life of me!

Alright, I'll leave it open for now... until I found the other one... or one of the mods does...

Whether the topics been presented before or not, you can end this one easily.

Why would Hedwig be an animagus? She spends most of her time in a cage or in the Owlery, not much use if Harry's in danger.

Report details on Harry's state of mind? You ask. Why when DD or anyone else could just ask him or his friends?

i agree and disagree with this. true, harry and hedwig wouldnt be spending too much time together but i guess they have thier moments.

and yea, dumbledore could ask harry or his friends if somethings bothering him but i dont think that would be much use. in chamber of secrets, dumbledore directly asked if there was anything bothering harry but harry told him nothing was wrong.

i think that dumbledore would want a more reliable source if he wanted to check up on harry.

i hedwig was an animagus that would be very interesting though happy.gif she's not around 24/7 but maybe if the trio were talking with one another in the common room or in the dorms then hedwig might be there at the time, making it seem less obvious

im on the fence with this one. however, if im shown substantial evidence supporting this then i could possibly sway towards hedwig being an animagus, but i need proof.

I dont think she is one bit. Ok i liked the idea about keeping a eye on him because that would tell us why DD knows so fast whats going on. But i just dont think this is right.

But DD knew that Harry was not telling the truth, because he can read minds. The film made this more obvious than the book.

Dumbledore misses NOTHING biggrin.gif

I was wondering
if Hedwig is an animagus: why would Hagrid just buy her at that strore?
i mean if Dumbledore would wanted Harry to have an animagusowl he would get it otherwise would he?

LindaLikesLuna13 is quite right. In the movie wwe see Hagrid appear with Hedwig, but in the book he buys Hedwig while he´s with Harry, so I don´t see a possibility of Hagrid buying her because DD said so.

jeah but it could be that DD made a deal with the owner of the pet store and that he(the owner) could only sell hedwig to Hargid

does that make sense?
but this way it becomes really complex


by the way i like it te be right

I don't think that Hedwig is an animagus, why would he? I mean, just because Scabby was one doesn't mean we have to suspect every animal in HP. If Hedwig was an animagus we would now that by now wouldn't we? And by Scabby, we knew that it was something wrong with him since he acted kind of strangely...But Hedwig is so kind at all times and he is not at all suspecious... Well, these are just my meanings. tongue.gif

I agree Jo's used the animagus story line so many times now, I doubt we'll se it again. All the Marauders are animaguses, Rita was an animagus, as well as McGonagall, IMHO I think this means there will be no more such surprises.

Hedwig, Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris are all very intelligent animals, but I don’t believe any are animaguses.
Crookshanks is intelligent because he's part Kneazle
I always presumed Hedwig was intelligent because she was an owl, and owls are suppose to be wise:) , and finally Mrs Norris, to be honest i don’t have a clue why she’s so clever, maybe it's just because she's an old cat and so has a lot of experience..
Just a guess.

i don't think she is an animagous because Hermionie would have told Ron and Harry that there is person who is an animagous and who transforms into a snowy owl, also Hedwig would have transformed into a human in OoP

you guys are just looking for clues any place you can huh laugh.gif this is a very interesting theory but i highly doubt it is anything but just that, a theory. Hedwig is just an owl that Hagrid bought for harry as a gift on his first day of knowing that he was a wizard. He is a snowy owl used for communication between harry and whatever name is enclosed in the letters he sends.

imho wink.gif

I'm not sure an animagus would eat dead mice. I agree there isn't much evidence to support this. I think Hedwig is a very smart owl that's all.
