A donkey was a domesticated mammal related to the horse that was used as a beast of burden by humans.[1]

In the wizarding fairytale "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot", an old man goes to a local wizard looking for help recovering his missing donkey, which he needs to transport his wares to market so he could support his family.[2] The wizard rudely refuses him at first.[2] However, after learning the value of kindness, the wizard relents, and uses a Summoning Charm to retrieve the donkey from a far-off briar patch and return it safely to its stable.[2]

The Earl of Paunchley was given such a severe case of amnesia by Hannah Cockleford's Shield Charm that he believed he was a donkey called Hairy Cyril.[3]

In Sybill Trelawney's first third year Divination class in 1993, Seamus Finnigan felt that the alleged Grim in Harry Potter's teacup looked more like a donkey when viewed from a certain angle.[4]
