 Posted Nov 9, 2000 by Fragilis - h2g2 Cured My Tabular Obsession The Harry Potter book series also includes mention of a phantom hound. The 'grim' is a giant black dog. Seeing it in a vision or during divination is considered to be an omen of death.

 Posted Nov 11, 2000 by Jamie of the Portacabin Miss Rowling evidently had some knowledge of the legends herself. I was also interested to see that the guy who transforms into a big black dog is called Padfoot, even though he wasn't a phantom hound as such.
