A cobra is a venomous snake, that when disturbed rear up and spread their neck in a hood in a characteristic threat display. In the 1992–1993 school year in the Duelling Club, Draco Malfoy used the Snake Summons Spell against Harry Potter and conjured a cobra.[1] Padma Patil's boggart manifested one of these snakes. [2]
Behind the scenes
- In both the film and video game adaptations of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Parvati Patil is given a giant cobra as a boggart rather than a mummy. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 rectifies this by giving Parvati the correct boggart, and passing the cobra over to her sister Padma Patil.
