"You can laugh, but people used to believe that there are no such things as the Blibbering Humdinger or the Crumple-Horned Snorkack."
— Luna Lovegood's strange beliefs[src]

The Blibbering Humdinger was one of the many strange magical creatures that Luna Lovegood believed to exist.[1][2] It is most likely that, like Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, they may not actually have been real.

Luna first mentioned the Blibbering Humdinger in Harry's fifth year to Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil who were laughing at her earrings.[1] At the end of the Second Wizarding War, in order to give Harry some peace, she distracted everyone in the Great Hall by pretending to see one of these creatures.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Shortly before Dumbledore's Army entered the Hall of Prophecy in the Department of Mysteries, Luna asked "You know what could be in there?" and Hermione replied "Something blibbering, no doubt". Hermione was most likely mocking Luna's belief in the Blibbering Humdinger.
