Norberta, originally Norbert (b. April 24 1992), is a Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon hatched by Rubeus Hagrid in his hut at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since dragon breeding was outlawed by the Warlocks' Convention of 1709 and that she was too violent to have around such as that she bit Ron Weasley's hand which put him in the hosptial wing, Hagrid had no choice but to release Norbert to Charlie Weasley, who worked with them in Romania.
Professor Quirinus Quirrell, trying to figure out how to get past Fluffy and retrieve the Philosopher's Stone, played cards in disguise with Hagrid, wagering Norberta's egg. They had a few drinks and Quirrell asked him if he was sure he could handle raising a dragon. Hagrid told him about how he managed Fluffy, inadvertently giving Quirrell the information he needed. Hagrid later assumed that 'the stranger' was a Dragon dealer.
When Hagrid met Charlie Weasley at Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding, he was informed that the dragon, originally thought to be a male and named Norbert, was now called Norberta, as Charlie had discovered that she was in fact female.
