An image of a tiger's face on the cover of How to Tame Tigers.

The tiger was the largest species in the family Felidae.[1] Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, they were characterised by their bright orange, black-striped coats and white underbellies.[1]

An image of a tiger's face was featured on the cover of How to Tame Tigers.[2] This book was available for sale at Flourish and Blotts in 1992.[2]

Behind the scenes

  • 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."[3]
  • When Harry and Ron first met Crookshanks, Harry described him as being "either a very big cat or quite a small tiger."[4]
