What happened to Hagrid’s three-headed dog Fluffy after Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Did you ever want a three-headed dog-like fluffy? I did. Ever since reading the first Harry Potter novel I wanted nothing more than a Fluffy. And when the movie came out I was even more determined to get a three-headed dog.

Sadly it never came to be. My parents wore me down and convinced me that they just couldn’t afford it. They didn’t tell me that a three-headed dog didn’t exist, they just told me they couldn’t afford it. Maybe they didn’t want to spoil my childhood.

But while I never got my own Fluffy the three-headed dog whatever did happen to the actual Fluffy? He appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and then after that, vanished.

Fluffy you will remember belonged to Hagrid. Hagrid acquired him from “a Greek chappie who he met in the pub” in the novel and “an Irish fellow” in the movie adaption. Three-headed dogs are rare in the magical world and Hagrid leant him to Dumbledore in order to protect the entrance to the Philosopher’s Stone.

Harry, Ron and Hermoine first met Fluffy by accident when the accidentally wandered down the forbidden corridor. They later had to get past him later when trying to stop Lord Voldemort from obtaining the Philosopher’s Stone. In order to do that they had to play music to Fluffy so that he would fall asleep.
