[HPforGrownups] Seeing Thestrals

[Lady Macbeth]

No: HPFGUIDX 72417

Buttercup Says:
>>> He was a baby and he might not have actually witnessed
the actual death. I believe JKR said the reason why
Harry didn't see thestrals at the end of GOF on the
carriage trip to Hogwarts Express was because death
takes time to sink in. Maybe thestrals were a last
minute addition to OOP and weren't in her original
outline. <<<

Lady Macbeth:
They WERE in her original outline - see "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
Them" under the "Winged Horses" category.

For easy reference, the information can also be found at the Lexicon:

And, the Lexicon has also updated with the information specifically about
Thestrals: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary_t-z.html#Thestral
