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.^[1]

Hermione Granger once worried that the tortoise she created using the Teapot to tortoise spell looked more like a turtle.^[2]

Sea turtles can be found within the Black Lake.^[3]

Turtle shell is used in potions.^{[citation needed]}
