However, as the book is titled Holiday with Hags, I don't think it's much of a stretch to imagine the picture Harry referred to seeing in the book was quite likely a hag. If I find additional information on the hag, I will edit it into this answer.ĮTA: Yes, I realize that it says Millicent reminded Harry of 'a picture he saw in Holiday with Hags' and does not specifically say 'a picture he saw of a hag in Holiday with Hags'. Goblet of Fire - page 280 - Bloomsbury - chapter 19, The Hungarian Horntail Harry supposed that as Hogsmeade was the only all-wizard village in Britain, it was a bit of a haven for creatures like hags, who were not as adept as wizards at disguising themselves.

The Three Broomsticks was packed, mainly with Hogwarts students enjoying their free afternoon, but also with a variety of magical people Harry rarely saw anywhere else.
Harry thinks he sees another hag in the Three Broomsticks and notes that hags are not as adept as disguising themselves as wizards are. Prisoner of Azkaban - page 42 - Bloomsbury - chapter 4, The Leaky CauldronĪpparently Hogsmeade is enticing to magical beings, it being the only fully magical town in Britain. Harry ate breakfast each morning in the Leaky Cauldron, where he liked watching the other guests: once, what looked suspiciously like a hag, who ordered a plate of raw liver from behind a thick woollen balaclava. If this is indeed a hag it would seem that hags in Potterverse do assimilate into wizarding society, at least enough to appear in public at the Leaky Cauldron and eat raw liver. In Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry encounters what he believes to be a hag having a breakfast of raw liver in the Leaky Cauldron.

Note: I don't know if in Chamber of Secrets Harry was still a bit small and skinny for his age, so take my last statement with a grain of salt. A female hag may be larger than a male human. Presumably, a hag can be female, large in stature, with a square-shaped body, and sporting a heavy, jutting jaw. While there's no official Potterverse description of a hag in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in Chamber of Secrets, Harry describes Millicent Bullstrode of Slytherin as looking like a hag he saw a picture of in Gilderoy Lockhart's book Holidays with Hags. What exactly is a hag, though? I have yet to find any sort of description, and can only guess that they are rather unpleasant creatures.
