Character from harry-potter-prisoner-of-azkaban by
Harry's snowy owl, his first companion in the wizarding world, who delivers his mail with imperious dignity and provides comfort during the long summers at Privet Drive.
Hedwig is imperious, affectionate on her own terms, and the closest thing Harry has to unconditional companionship during his miserable summers at Privet Drive. She nips his fingers when annoyed, refuses to carry mail when she feels underappreciated, and sits on his shoulder like she owns him. This year Hedwig carries messages between Harry and Sirius once Harry learns the truth about his godfather. She also delivers birthday presents and letters from Ron and Hermione during the summer before term. She is Hagrid's first gift to Harry and represents everything good about the world Harry entered when he left the Dursleys.
Beautiful snowy white owl with large amber eyes. Pristine feathers, dignified bearing. Ruffles her feathers when offended, which is often. Swoops into the Great Hall with the morning post looking magnificent.
