    Harry Sees thestrals for the First Time
    Harry Potter avoids mentioning thestrals to Ron Weasley, unsure if he and Luna Lovegood are having hallucinations. As they ride the carriages to Hogwarts, the group discusses Rubeus Hagrid's mysterious absence. Luna mentions that the students of Ravenclaw find Hagrid to be a poor teacher, which angers Harry, Ron, and Ginny Weasley. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Harry is unsettled by the sight of thestrals, creatures that had always been invisible to him until now. He wonders why only he and Luna can see them.
