- "These dwarf–like creatures live in holes on old battlegrounds or wherever human blood has been spilled. Although easily repelled by charms and hexes, they are very dangerous to solitary Muggles, whom they will attempt to bludgeon to death on dark nights. Red Caps are most prevalent in northern Europe."
- — Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them[src]
The Red Cap was a small, dwarf-like magical beast that inhabited wherever human blood had been shed, such as in the dungeons of castles, the potholes of old battlefields, or holes underground.[1]
Description
Red Caps were normally around three or four feet tall, with red eyes and long, sharp nails. They were most often found in northern Europe.
They attacked those who were lost, and though they were extremely dangerous to lone Muggles, a wizard or witch could easily repel them with charms and hexes.[1] They could also be repelled by dousing them in Beautification Potion, as their temporary "beautiful" appearance was repulsive to them.[2]
Red Caps were less dangerous during their mating season, as they became more interested in attacking each other than any invaders of their territory.[2]
History
Red Caps digging in the earth
The enchanted garden that the Wizarding Schools Potions Championship took place in housed an ancient battlefield infested with Red Caps, which competitors must have evaded or defeated in order to pass through.[2]
During the 1987–1988 school year, Jacob's sibling and their friends encountered a Red Cap in the Forbidden Forest.[3][4]
Remus Lupin taught his third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts class about these creatures during the second lesson of the 1993–1994 school year,[5] and later used them as part of his obstacle course during the final exam of that year.[6] Among the subjects covered in The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection are Red Caps.[7]
Behind the scenes
- The Red Cap is a real mythological creature; supposedly, it will murder any traveller who strays into its home, dying its hat with their blood, for which they get their name.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, they appear to have beards (in accordance with the folkloric creature), Voldemort-like faces, and a mushroom on their head rather than a cap.[8]
- While Red Caps were introduced in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, they did not appear in the film adaptation of the book. They did, however, appear as minor enemies in the Gamecube version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. They are encountered in the dungeons of Hogwarts during the Black Deeds chapter.
