- Chapter Fifteen, The Forbidden Forest, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Pottermore users have posted some beautiful pictures of the Forbidden Forest on Pottermore.com and we’ve seen some really interesting comments about what it would be like to visit it. The Forest is full of magical, mysterious and dangerous beasts, centaurs and unicorns amongst them, and we thought you’d enjoy seeing some of the pictures that Pottermore users have drawn of these two types of creatures.

Fang, Hagrid’s enormous black boarhound also makes an appearance in this chapter, and this slobbery, faithful and sometimes cowardly dog has inspired some wonderful artwork.
