Errol
MinorA weary traveler of the skies, his gray feathers bearing the toll of endless deliveries. One bleary eye cracks open with a feeble hoot, evoking pity for his overworked spirit. There's a stubborn loyalty in his battered form that tugs at the heart.
Errol, the Weasley family's venerable and perpetually knackered delivery owl, makes his memorable debut in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as a symbol of the clan's chaotic affection for their postal avian. His dramatic crash-landing through the Dursleys' window, unconscious from hauling Ron's heavy package, underscores his tireless yet accident-prone service. Though his on-page exploits are confined to this third installment, Errol embodies the enduring warmth of the Weasley household across the series, retiring to snooze off his exertions without further spotlight in later books.
