A turtle is an amphibious animal with a shell.

A Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry believed that she spotted a boy named Derek talking to one of these creatures and believed that she should keep an eye on him.

Hermione Granger once worried that the tortoise she created using the Teapot to tortoise spell looked more like a turtle.

Sea turtles can be found within the Black Lake.

Turtle Shell is used in Potions.
