An '''eagle''' is a large bird of prey and member of the bird family [[Wikipedia:Accipitridae|Accipitridae]]. Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and bill. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs, and powerful talon claws.<ref>"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle Eagle]" on Wikipedia</ref>

An eagle is any large bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae.[4]

Eagles in the wizarding world

The eagle was the mascot of Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2][3]

It was a possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[5]

Eagle feathers were sometimes used for quills.[6]

The body of a Hippogriff was half-eagle and half-horse, while the body of a Griffin was half-eagle and half-lion.[7]

History

Talbott Winger could transform into an eagle as an Animagus.[8]

After Severus Snape left the room following the questioning of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley about the Flying Ford Anglia on 1 September 1992, Minerva McGonagall was said to be eyeing them like a wrathful eagle.[9]

On Christmas in December 1992, Hermione Granger presented Harry Potter with a luxury eagle-feather quill as a Christmas present.[6] Harry later used that quill do his homework during the summer holidays in 1993[10] and also when writing a letter to Sirius Black during the summer holidays in 1994.[11]

In May 1996, Luna Lovegood wore a hat that took the form of a lifelike eagle to the Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw Quidditch match.[12]
