Hags

Chapter 13

A hag is a savage being that looks like an ugly, old witch but has more warts. They have four toes on each foot, have a taste for the flesh of human children, and possessed rudimentary magic, similar to that of a troll. Many Muggles tend to think that hags are what witches looked like, and are therefore popular in Muggle literature. Hags can occasionally be encountered in Diagon and Knockturn Alleys, as well as Hogsmeade; however, some hags like Annis Black live in caves. Hags are said to eat children and raw livers, although it is possible that those were false descriptions to defame them.
