"I am deeply hurt at your false and vicious assertion that I am nothing but a flesh-eating monster."
— Annis Black in the Daily Prophet[src]

Annis Black was a British hag who lived in a cave in Deadmarsh, England during the late twentieth century. She wrote a letter to the Daily Prophet complaining about the paper, and the wizarding world as a whole, portraying Hags as flesh-eating monsters. Her letter stated that her own interests were not vicious, which were poetry, crochet and gardening. She also offered baby-sitting services.[1]

Behind the scenes

  • The name Annis Black is presumably based on the legendary hag , who is said to have eaten human children, and then hung their skins on the walls of her cave. Therefore, it seems somewhat suspicious that she would want to offer baby-sitting services to look after human children, possibly implying that she may be using that as a way to lure children to her.
  • Annis Black was not related to the pure-blood wizarding House of Black.
