Harry Potter 10 Times Hedwig Was the Most Loyal Pet

Hedwig was without a doubt one of – if not the – most loyal pets in the world of Harry Potter. She consistently went above and beyond, in regards to things Harry Potter asked her to do. And on more than one occasion she was even capable of anticipating his needs.

Let us focus on these moments, and how amazing Hedwig was. Perhaps if we do this, the pain of her loss at the end of the series will hurt less. Okay, nothing is going to make that happen. But we can at least celebrate the wonderful and loyal life she led, right?

10 She Was His Only Friend at Privet Drive

Every summer from the second book onward, Hedwig was a loyal companion to Harry. Even when she was locked inside a cage because of Uncle Vernon’s hatred of ‘the freaks’ who could send Harry letters.

8 All in a Name

We know that this is something other owls can handle – since Harry once used a barn owl to get a letter to Sirius. But we also feel like Hedwig was special, in that she could find anyone anywhere, thanks to her determination and loyalty. Otherwise, we imagine the ministry would have started using owls to hunt down their most wanted list.

7 Seeking Out Help

One time in specific, we were shown how Hedwig went on a mission, visiting Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid – all without Harry asking. There she collected birthday cards and gifts for the lonely boy stuck at Privet Drive.

6 Following Him Wherever

In fact, she always seemed to know how to find Harry. Most notable was the time during Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Here Harry had run off from his aunt and uncle – leaving Privet Drive while Hedwig was gone. Yet she knew to find Harry at the Leaky Cauldron. She even showed up before he did.

5 Helping Others

So it’s no surprise that he needed a little help. What is surprising is that both Hedwig and a school owl took it upon themselves to help the poor own out – making sure he got to Harry’s safe and sound.

4 Pecking Orders

He had asked Hedwig to deliver three letters, one to Ron, one to Hermione, and one to Sirius. But there’s more – she was also to stay there and not leave until she got responses to bring back. And she was to peck the three into complying. And by all appearances, she did so with gusto. We imagine that Ron in particular, regretted his inability to respond, based on the condition of his hands when Harry arrived.

3 Long Journeys

We know she’s made it as far as the tropics, and once she even headed towards France (without being told to, mind you). So she’s clearly content to do her job for Harry, regardless of how far it takes her. It makes you wonder what the average owl range is, doesn’t it?

2 Sustained Injuries

Hedwig suffered from an injured wing during this attack, but thankfully Harry took her to the right people for healing. Though Hedwig made it very clear that she would have preferred to stay with her beloved master. What a sweetheart.

1 A Fatal Blow

Now, the books and the movies differ pretty significantly here. In the books, Hedwig died in her cage. She was upset with Harry at the time, but we have no doubt that she still loved her boy. In the movies, Hedwig willingly and intentionally took a hit meant for Harry. We’ll leave you do decide which of these moments is more heartbreaking.
