- "I'm just a fly on the wall."
- — Dolores Umbridge, while observing teaching[src]
Flesh flies (sometimes simply Flies) are small, usually irritating black flies with yellow blood that, as the name suggests, frequently fly around. These flies are used to distract a spider and let it smash hedges in the Hedge Maze of the Triwizard Tournament.[1] Giant Purple Toads eat dead flies. While watching Sybill Trelawney's Divination teaching in the 1995–1996 school year, Dolores Umbridge said that she was just like a fly on the wall. In the 1996–1997 school year before Quidditch practice, Cormac McLaggen and Ronald Weasley had a discussion about the Keeper position. Ron said that a Keeper needed to be fast, and Cormac showed his fast movements by catching a fly with three fingers and crunch it.
