While we’re still reeling over the fact that Ms. Rowling STILL hasn’t replied to any of our tweets, we can’t help but think about other pets that have been inspired by the Potter-verse. 

Here are some of our favorite Hairy Pawters.

2. Fantastical Feline

J.K. Rowling hasn’t tweeted about animals dressing up as her characters yet, but we’d think she’d be charmed by their cuteness! (Granted, none of these pets are dressed up like He Who Must Not Be Named!)
