A snail is a mollusk with a coiled shell. Snails were used in Transfiguration class as part of the vanishing curriculum.

Behind the scenesEdit

During the 1993–1994 school year, a time-travelling Hermione Granger threw a possible snail shell into Hagrid's hut, which struck Harry Potter in the back of the head.
