Nagini is a gigantic snake, at least twelve feet long, whose diamond-patterned body moves through the shadows. She appears in Harry’s dream and later circles a headstone before gliding away through the grass toward the Death Eaters. Her presence is a menacing, recurring image, defined by her closeness to Voldemort and the dread she brings with her.

Description

Nagini is a gigantic snake, at least twelve feet long, with a long, serpentine body covered in diamond-patterned skin. She moves close to the ground in smooth, gliding coils, her tongue flickering as she watches her surroundings. Her size and distinctive patterned scales make her presence unmistakable and unnerving.
