Errol is one of the Weasley family's owls. Errol is a great grey owl and was described by Harry Potter as resembling a molting feather duster. Errol is also described as ancient, and as such his poor eyesight causes him to hit objects in flight. Errol delivers Harry's first birthday present from Ron before his third year at Hogwarts. He loses consciousness during both long and short journeys. He often stays with Harry's owl Hedwig to regain consciousness when he delivers messages to him.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Errol appears in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as he bumps into the kitchen window at The Burrow. Later in the film, he lands in a bowl of crisps in the Great Hall in Hogwarts when delivering Ron a Howler from his mother.
