"Our emblem is the eagle, which soars where others cannot climb..."

An eagle is any large bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae.[4]

Eagles in the wizarding world[]

The eagle was the mascot of Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2][3]

It was a possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[5]

Eagle feathers were sometimes used for quills.[6]

The body of a Hippogriff was half-eagle and half-horse, while the body of a Griffin was half-eagle and half-lion.[7]
