However, you can certainly use American buttercream instead, if you wish, it is just a matter of taste. And American buttercream is easier to make anyway, no cooking and waiting times involved. Qilin – a Chinese scaly deer-like creature that can read and look into a person's soul, and find out if they were pure of heart. If they perceived someone to be pure of heart, they would bow. Use about half of the remaining vanilla buttercream to thinly cover the edges of the cake. No need to cover the top as you will pipe the chocolate frosting on top. Place in the refrigerator for about half an hour or until set. Harry Potter 's depiction of race, specifically the slavery of house-elves, has received varied responses. Scholars such as Brycchan Carey have praised the books' abolitionist sentiments, viewing Hermione's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare as a model for younger readers' political engagement. [19] [20] Other critics including Farah Mendlesohn find the portrayal of house-elves "most difficult to accept": the elves are denied the right to free themselves and rely on the benevolence of others like Hermione. [21] [22] Pharr terms the house-elves a disharmonious element in the series, writing that Rowling leaves their fate hanging; [23] at the end of Deathly Hallows, the elves remain enslaved and cheerful. [24] Obscurials/Obscurus [ edit ]Drain Emotion. The dementor targets one being it can see within 10 feet of it. The target must make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, with disadvantage if the target is frightened, taking 21 (4d8 + 3) psychic damage on a failed save and half as much damage on a successful one. A target reduced to 0 hit points as a result of this damage automatically stabilizes. Griphook – an employee at Gringotts Bank; helps Harry, Ron, and Hermione steal Helga Hufflepuff's cup

Incorporeal Movement. The bat can move through other creatures and objects as if they wer difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. Veela – Semi-humans, highly attractive, looking sometimes like an exceptionally beautiful girl, and sometimes like a harpy, and having a power to bewitch and enchant men. [9]The Marauder's Map depicted in the closing credits of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban shows a " Book of Monster's Repair Workshop" where presumably copies of this book could be sent to be repaired. Bicorn – A cow-like creature that sheds its horns annually. At least one of its horns is used as one of the ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion. Peeves, the Hogwarts poltergeist, is not considered a ghost, but an "indestructible spirit of chaos" according to Rowling. [16] Giants [ edit ] Fear of Roosters. A basilisk that starts its turn within 120 feet of a rooster must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the rooster for 1 minute. The basilisk can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect on a success. If the basilisk hears the crow of a rooster it must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw or drop to 0 hit points. Depression Manifested. A dementor is best described as depression in a corporeal form. Its very presence drains the warmth and happiness out of anyone unfortunate enough to cross its path, filling them with despair and forcing them to relive their worst memories. This same aura pulls warmth from the air, causing frost to collect on surfaces and nearby water to freeze. Prolonged exposure to a dementor often drives a victim insane. This made dementors extremely effective guards in Azkaban prison, destroying any hope of escape among the inmates.

Demiguise – A docile orangutan-like creature that can turn invisible. [6] The creature's sight is based on precognition. An escaped Demiguise plays a role in the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). Their pelts are often used to make Invisibility Cloaks. The cerberus can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The cerberus regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Most of the creatures included in the prop used in the film version are not mentioned anywhere else in the Harry Potter universe, and were invented by the film crew themselves; as such, they are possibly not canonical. Occamy – A plumed, two-legged, winged creature with a serpentine body, resembling a cross between a dragon and a bird. Hatched from eggs, the shells of which are made of the purest silver and worth a fortune. It is choranaptyxic, meaning it will grow or shrink to fit available space. [7] Dementors are blind, but they can sense the emotions of people around them. They seem to be naturally drawn to individuals who have experienced great suffering or some kind of trauma in their lives. This sense doesn't work very well on animals, which would feel less human, less complex and less appealing. Muggles cannot see dementors, but still suffer their effects and are threatened by them. The yeti can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The yeti regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Doxy – A small fairy-like creature with four arms and four legs, also known as the Biting Fairy. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, they appear more like lizards.
