The History of Veela - Harry Potter Explained


Listen Later

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the magical beings known as Veela. Within the wizarding world of Harry Potter, we never learn all that much about the mysterious and exceptionally beautiful humanoid species called the Veela. In fact, much of what we do know about these magical beings revolves entirely around their physical appearance, with their description given in great detail several times over the course of the books and films, but specifically throughout The Goblet of Fire. This fourth instalment of the series is the first time Harry, alongside us Muggles, are introduced to the idea of the Veela. Here, before we even reach 100 pages of the novel, the Veela come prancing onto the page after being announced as the Bulgarian Quidditch team's mascots during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. This is, of course, the chapter in which Harry attends the World Cup alongside the Weasleys and Hermione Granger. Now, up until that time, Harry was completely unfamiliar with the Veela and seems to be rather confused when Arthur Weasley announces that they are the Bulgarian team's mascots. However, before he could ask Mr. Weasley what they were exactly, a group of these magical beings took to the pitch. This, as you may remember, effectively answered Harry's question, as described in the following excerpt from the novel:
