It was Death who, according to Beedle the Bard in his work The Tale of the Three Brothers, witnessed the three Peverell brothers defy him by successfully crossing a deadly river. He was upset because he could not take them for his own, so he offered to give each brother an artifact of great power. The Peverell brothers chose the Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. These items later became known as the Deathly Hallows.

The Giant Squid was a creature that lived in the Hogwarts Lake. Despite the generalised fear of it, the Giant Squid was actually very docile and helpful to the students of Hogwarts, such as when Dennis Creevey fell into the Lake, and he was immediately picked up by one of the squid's tentacles and put safely back in the boat. This squid is also known to have played with students, such as when Fred and George Weasley tickled its tentacles as it was lying part way out of the lake, and to have accepted food from students, such as when he received toast from Hermione Granger. During the Triwizard Tournament, when watching Krum bathing in the lake, Ron says it would freeze him to death to bathe in the lake in winter, to which Hermione replies it would be rather warm, compared to the lands from which he comes. Ron replies hopefully; "There's still the Squid".
