The Harry Potter series brought a world of magic to readers and viewers and introduced so many new things, one of them being the incredibly fascinating concept of magical creatures. The magical creatures in the Harry Potter series ranged from house-elves and goblins to dementors and thestrals, and captivated fans in every way.
The series would not have been complete without the addition of the unique creatures in the stories. Many devoted Harry Potter lovers have paid tribute to their favorite series with tattoos, and some of the most interesting are of the magical creatures themselves.
10 Merpeople
The merpeople were introduced in detail in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. When Harry Potter competed in the Triwizard Tournament, he had encounters with the merpeople of the Black Lake at Hogwarts. These merpeople are different from mermaids in fairy tales, and this tattoo depicts their appearance flawlessly. The merpeople had razor-sharp teeth, long hair, and were slightly scary. This tattoo shows the face of one of these magical creatures with amazing detail.
9 Fawkes
Fawkes was Albus Dumbledore's pet, Phoenix who saved Harry after he was attacked by the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. Fawkes had the ability to heal with his tears, and healed Harry, saving his life. This tattoo illustrates Fawkes in a colorful manner, with the addition of the symbol for the Deathly Hallows on a necklace around his neck. Fans fell in love with Phoenixes and their unique and powerful abilities.
8 Basilisk
The Basilisk was introduced in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but this magical creature ended up playing an important role throughout the series, as it was learned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, that a Basilisk fang can destroy a Horcrux. This creature is illustrated in this amazing tattoo with specific details showcasing the fangs of this monster.
This creature was deadly when looked at directly in the eyes, and was truly a force to be reckoned with.
7 Acromantula
The acromantula that was introduced in this series, was Aragog. Aragog was Hagrid's pet, a giant spider that was blamed as the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. Aragog proved helpful to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the second book, as they tried to discover who actually opened the Chamber of Secrets. The acromantula is a powerful creature, whose venom is powerful in potions. This tattoo is a cartoon-like version of Aragog, and any fan will appreciate this adorable tribute.
6 Grindylow
Grindylow's were another magical creature introduced in the Harry Potter series that gave Harry Potter a hard time. While Harry was swimming in the Black Lake in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he encountered some grindylows, that unfortunately attacked him while he tried to save Ron Weasley and Fleur Delacour's sister. These creatures almost caused Harry to drown, and this tattoo, with dark ink, portrays them incredibly well.
5 Dementors
Dementors were the magical creatures that Harry Potter probably despised the most. These dark, hooded figures attacked Harry on multiple occasions, causing him to faint. This tattoo illustrates these sinister characters flawlessly, as their appearance is simply dark, black, and cloaked. These magical creatures are known for their Kiss of Death, the sucking of souls. Voldemort used these creatures in his army, and they caused pain that no other creature could.
4 Cornish Pixies
Cornish Pixies were devilish, little creatures who liked to cause trouble. These characters had an iconic moment in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Professor Lockhart let them loose in a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.
This tattoo, created by Tanya Buxton, illustrated this magical creature exactly as it was described in the book, and how it appeared in the Harry Potter films, with wings, blue skin, and a smile.
3 Boggarts
Harry Potter and his classmates learned about Boggarts in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Professor Lupin taught his Defense Against the Dark Arts students about Boggarts in a lesson, teaching them that these magical creatures take the form of whatever you are scared of most. Neville Longbottom's Boggart funnily changed into Snape, which Neville counteracted with a spell, making this Boggart appear in his grandmother's clothes. This tattoo is hilarious, and a wonderful tribute to this funny moment.
2 Hippogriff
Buckbeak was a Hippogriff introduced to fans in this series, and his story played an important role in the film. Hippogriff's, which is part horse, part eagle, was a creature that Hagrid showed his Care of Magical Creatures students at Hogwarts. Buckbeak was loved by Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as well as Hagrid and Sirius Black. This tattoo portrays Buckbeak with the large pumpkins at Hagrid's hut colorfully and beautifully.
1 Thestral
Thestrals were creatures that were invisible to those who have never witnessed death. Harry Potter learned this in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, after watching his friend, Cedric Diggory get killed by Voldemort. These creatures played a vital role in the film, as Dumbledore's Army used them to leave Hogwarts, and the Order of the Phoenix used them to transport Harry. This tattoo shows these gentle creatures with incredible detail.
