Tigers are members of the Felidae family, and the largest of the Panthera genus. They are native to much of eastern and southern Asia.

A tiger face was pictured on the cover of How to Tame Tigers, which was sold at Flourish and Blotts in 1992. A tiger was seen in a portrait and sat up in the Great Hall. The tiger mauled when the Fat Lady was missing.

Behind the scenesEdit

• When Molly Weasley was angry at her children, Harry Potter thought that "for a short, plump, kind-faced woman, it was remarkable how much she looked like a saber-toothed tiger."^[1]
• When Harry and Ron first met Crookshanks, Harry described him as being "either a very big cat or quite a small tiger."^[2]
