The Blood-Sucking Bugbear was a magical creature apparently found in Scotland. In 1992, following the killing of two of his roosters, Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid suspected that either a Blood-Sucking Bugbear or foxes were responsible.[1] Harry Potter caught Hagrid while he was on his way to ask Albus Dumbledore for permission to place a charm around the coop in order to protect the chickens from further attacks.[1] However, as it turned out, Ginny Weasley had killed the chickens while she was possessed by Tom Riddle.[2]
Behind the scene
- The bugbear was an imaginary creature historically used to frighten naughty children into behaving.[3] Today, the term bugbear is used to describe something that is a source of dread, resentment, or irritation.[4]
- Given that bugbear is a regional term for what is also called a boggart, it is possible that the Blood-Sucking Bugbear is a variety or relative of boggart. This may be why Newton Scamander does not cover the creature in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (as boggarts are non-beings).
Appearances
