#2: Phoenix
The immortal phoenix in Harry Potter somewhat resembles a falcon.
The phoenix is an immortal bird, somewhat resembling an eagle or falcon, that comes back to life after being reborn from the ashes. Though closely associated with Greek mythology, this mythical animal may have originated in Egypt. It also has analogs in Persian, Turkish, Chinese and Japanese cultures. One of the few known domesticated phoenixes in the wizarding world is Dumbledore’s pet, Fawkes. Clad in scarlet feathers, Fawkes can heal wounds with his tears and lift up to 100 times his weight. These birds can live hundreds of years and very rarely appear as a kind of Patronus.
