I had done a little reading up on english folk lore and found that Dobby
the house elf is J.K's version of a hobgobblin, with a little more pizzaz
i must say. Anyway she does base much of her writting on some form of
mythology, folklore, and modernday witchcraft. I was wondering if anyone
could shed some light on Veela the beautiful dancing women at the world
quidditch championship. Could they be something like a harpie? Or a
Siren? (greek Mythology). If you have any ideas please help me out. :-)
