Early in the morning on 1 November, 1981, a large tawny owl, one of several owls that would be traversing the skies that day due to Voldemort's recent downfall, passed by the windows of 4 Privet Drive. It was unseen by the Dursley family, who were busy with their morning routine.^[3]

Neville Longbottom's grandmother, Augusta, has a tawny owl that she sometimes uses to send him things that he forgot.^[4]
