Ron Weasley's Scops owl Pigwidgeon
The Scops owl, also called Scops-owl, is the second-smallest type of Owl in the world, the smallest being the Elf owl.[1] This kind of owl is present in the Hogsmeade Post Office, making "LOCAL DELIVERIES ONLY". [2] Ron Weasley owned a small Scops owl, Pigwidgeon.[3]
Scops owls may be sold at Eeylops Owl Emporium in Diagon Alley.[4]
Behind the scenes
- In the Mainland Chinese translation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the term "scops owl" was translated as 小吟游诗人猫头膺 (xiǎo yín-yóu shīrén māotóuyīng), meaning "small reciting wandering poet owl". This was a glaring mistake in translation, as the translator mistook the real-world species of owl ("scops" coming from the Ancient Greek word for owls generally) for "scop", the name given to an old English poet or bard.[5]
