great essay, I really liked the correlations! clap.gif

what I wondered is do you think that the thestrals are dead hippogriffs?

they're both horse-like with wings, a bird's skull may look 'dragonish' without feathers etc.


might be a stupid idea, I don't have all the details in my mind just now of how they're described, but it's something that I wondered while reading.


Sorry for the late reply. (uhm 2 years....) I never thought that thestrals were dead hippogriffs, but that is an interesting concept. I still don't think they are because I don't think thestrals are dead. Its very interesting though.

I think Thestrals are alive (they eat... Zombie Hippogriffs wouldn't have to eat I wouldn't think) I really do not have much more proof than that but I would think that Hippogriffs would have to be transfigured before becoming a Thestral because the Thestral isn't death or dead they just represent death for those who have seen it... I agree though that it is an interesting idea. Something I would have never thought of.
