A polecat is an animal that belongs to the Weasel family. In 1473, during the final match of the first ever Quidditch World Cup between Transylvania and Flanders, a Chaser was transfigured into a polecat, a foul that had never been recorded before. At breakfast on the morning of his first Care of Magical Creatures class in September 1993, Rubeus Hagrid entered the Great Hall absentmindedly swinging a dead polecat (presumably intended to be eaten by one of the Hippogriffs that were to be the subject of the day's lesson), excited about his new teaching position.
