A hippogriff (a creature that's half-eagle, half-horse) who features prominently in Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures lesson. Hippogriffs in general are proud creatures who will strike if insulted, and Buckbeak is no exception: when Malfoy insults Buckbeak, Buckbeak hurts Malfoy's arm. This results in a string of trials and appeals with the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. During this time Buckbeak lives primarily in Hagrid's hut, where he makes a mess eating small bloody creatures. He loses his final appeal and is sentenced to death, but Harry and Hermione rescue him by taking a trip back in time. Buckbeak then goes into hiding with Sirius Black.
