Harry Potter and Mrs. Norris the Cat

Mrs. Norris!

Enemies of the heir, beware!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Although this postcard was printed in 2002, it was postmarked in 2014 with three stamps from Japan.

Mrs Norris is the pet cat of Argus Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Mrs Norris is described as having an unusually strong connection with her master, alerting him to any students misbehaving inside the school grounds.

Mrs Norris was the first victim of the Serpent of Slytherin when the Chamber of Secrets was re-opened in 1992. On Hallowe'en night she was petrified by the basilisk (a snake that can kill with one look) when she saw its reflection in a puddle of water. Ginny Weasley hung her from a torch bracket by her tail, where she was found by Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. (This is what you see in the above postcard.)

Harry Potter and His Owl Hedwig

From a postcards book:

Hedwig is Harry Potter's owl. Hedwig is a Snowy Owl.

In the story, Hedwig is a gift to Harry from Hagrid in the first book of the series, purchased in Diagon Alley while shopping for supplies for Harry's first year at Hogwarts. The name Hedwig is a name Harry found in his schoolbook, A History of Magic. Hedwig is used for delivering messages throughout the series. She can act with hurt or anger due to Harry's sometimes innocently thoughtless actions or words. It is implied throughout the books that Hedwig can fully understand Harry, and to some extent vice versa.

At the start of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Hedwig is killed during Harry's escape from Privet Drive by a stray Killing Curse. According to Rowling, Hedwig's death represented the death of innocence.

Although Hedwig is a female owl, she is played by male owls in the films (distinguishable by the males' lack of black markings). Also, males are lighter and easier for the actor to hold up.

With all the excitement of the new Harry Potter book and movie, I thought I'd add a postcard with a photo of Harry. I have two Potter Postcards, (wish I had more) and many other movie postcards. I love postcards from movies!!
