After hearing Madame Olympe Maxime claim that she had "big bones" rather than admit to being half-giant, Harry Potter remarked that the only thing that had bigger bones would be a dinosaur, a highly successful group of animals originating in Mesozoic era, many of which were known for their immense size. Presumably, in the world of Harry Potter, they might well also be related to dragons.[1]
