Pythons are a group of nonvenomous snakes found in Africa, Asia and Australia.[1]
In 1991 Dudley Dursley with his friend Piers Polkiss wanted to see big, man-crushing pythons in the Zoo, while Harry Potter walked up to boa constrictor's tank, and unknowingly using Parselmouth, communicated with it.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The animated Nagini as a Reticulated Python
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter spoke to a python from Burma. He accidentally freed the python and helped it go to Burma, while trapping his cousin inside the pen that was holding the giant snake. In the novel, the snake is a Boa constrictor from Brazil, not a python from Burma.
- In the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Nagini, Voldemort's pet snake, is portrayed as a Reticulated Python. A Dumeril's Ground Boa portrayal preceded this in the fourth, fifth and sixth movies.
