"Two Flying Pigs Interfere with Muggle Air Traffic"

— Daily Prophet headline.^[src]

A flying pig is a magical breed of pig. As reported by the Daily Prophet in the summer of 1994, two flying pigs caused some interference with Muggle air traffic. A certain crazy ginger witch was implicated with this incident.^[1]

The existence of this creature is most likely inspired by the adynaton "when pigs fly".^[2]
