Thestral is a fictional magical creature from the "Harry Potter" series written by J.K. Rowling. Thestrals are described as being skeletal, horse-like creatures with leathery wings resembling bat wings. They have reptilian skin, long, thin tails, and sharp teeth. The most distinctive feature of Thestrals is their ability to fly, despite their somewhat eerie appearance.
One of the unique aspects of Thestrals is that they are only visible to individuals who have witnessed death and fully comprehended its meaning. This means that those who have not experienced loss cannot see Thestrals, which makes them seem invisible to most people.
In the "Harry Potter" series, Thestrals play a significant role in the wizarding world, particularly in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." They are used by the Hogwarts carriages to transport students from Hogsmeade Station to Hogwarts Castle. Harry Potter himself becomes able to see Thestrals after witnessing the death of Cedric Diggory at the end of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
Thestrals have a somewhat misunderstood reputation due to their association with death, but they are portrayed as gentle creatures that have a keen sense of direction and a strong bond with those who can see them.
