More on the Harry Potter connection
By Christie Keith
July 14, 2007
A friend sent me this image, a deleted scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The two Scottish Deerhounds pictured are Cleod (the dog who played Padfoot in the current film, who we met here), and Fife, both from Kilbourne Deerhounds in the UK. A Kilbourne hound, Fern, also served as the model for the CGI version of Padfoot in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
For those of us not familiar with the Potterverse, and that would include me, Joy Windle of Joyous Gard Deerhounds was kind enough to summarize the scene in this image thus:
They are shown with Lucius Malfoy, dangerous minion of Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord. They must be held against their will under a terrible spell, much like Dobie, the house elf.
That doesn’t sound like a good thing to me, either, Joy!

Lucius Malfoy? Well there….I thought it was Dr. David Acheson. Oops.

All of us in the Florida Keys are thrilled with deeries in the Potter film. We are fortunate to live with two dhs, so many people in the upper Keys have been exposed to deerhounds (even to stopping and asking us what in heavens name we are doing walking horses?!?). So thanks for all the info! Must agree the dhs with Malfoy are either under a spell or waiting to do away with the nasty man.

Fear not, Christie. I can promise with absolute certainty, given my proprietary knowledge of Harry Potter’s proclivities and behaviors, that he would NEVER harm a Deerhound.

LOL, I’ve never seen a Harry Potter movie or read the books, so I’m afraid I can’t help, Casey!
I suspect your best bet would be in the hotbed of obsession known as the Harry Potter fandom. :)
