A kipper is a salt-cured dried fish (usually a herring), that is served at the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1] Ronald Weasley once gagged on a kipper. [2]
Kipper was sometimes served as part of regular meals. In February 1995, after Hermione Granger aggravated the Hogwarts house-elves, Ronald Weasley worried that it would put them off their cooking, but the next morning "the bacon, eggs, and kippers were quite as good as usual."[3]
When Ron caught sight of his brother Percy on the morning of the Funeral of Albus Dumbledore, he stabbed some pieces of kipper with unwonted venom.[4]
Behind the scenes
- Kipper is a reasonably popular dish in Great Britain, but may be entirely unfamiliar to some U.S. readers, as it is not typically consumed there.
