Hedwigis Harry's pet owl. Since mail is delivered by owls in the wizarding world, she plays a valuable role in Harry's life. More than that, however, she is one of Harry's companions; sometimes Harry feels that Hedwig is the only friend he has left.
Philosopher's Stone
Harry is allowed to bring a toad or a cat or an owl to school, according to the book-list. Hagrid, who is guiding him through Diagon Alley, decides to buy Harry an animal as a birthday present. Toads, he says, are old-fashioned and would get him laughed at, and he doesn't like cats, because he says they make him sneeze, so he takes Harry to Eeylops Owl Emporium and buys him a snowy owl. Back at the Dursleys' home, Harry decides to name his owl Hedwig, a name he had found in his History of Mag...
Chamber of Secrets
Because Uncle Vernon doesn't want strange things happening at his house, he refuses to let Hedwig hunt; he has locked her into her cage. Harry is locked into his room after the disastrous visit of the Masons on the evening of his birthday. We see Harry giving Hedwig most of his vegetable soup, and see her disapproval. When the Weasleys arrive to rescue Harry, he nearly forgets Hedwig; her loud hoots at being nearly abandoned wake Vernon up, and he charges into Harry's room just too late to ca...

She helps a school owl carry Errol up to Harry's bedroom with a birthday present from Hermione. Hedwig had sent Harry a letter, from Hagrid, but he doesn't notice, so she gets his attention by nibbling him sharply, during that time, Neville gets sent a howler, and he runs out of the Great hall, then, Hedwig helps herself with Neville's co...
Hedwig is exceptionally intelligent for an owl, being able to follow more complex instructions such as to "keep pecking them until they've written decent-length answers", and to carry deliberately misaddressed packages (e.g. a package addressed to "Snuffles" was carried to Sirius). She also fought to get away from Umbridge, despite being wounded, s...
Hedwig is a snowy owl, very beautiful but easily seen and recognized. Snowy owls are not native to Britain and Hedwig was known to belong to Harry. Therefore, Harry could not use Hedwig to deliver messages when security and anonymity were required. Hedwig was easily offended and sulked when Harry used other owls for messages to Sirius. Hedwig was a...
Hedwig is very loyal to Harry Potter. During Harry's summer breaks at the Dursleys', Hedwig is often Harry's only companion and link to the Wizarding World. For Harry's sake, particularly in the early years, Hedwig puts up with quite a bit of discomfort and deprivation through the summer months at Privet Drive. When Harry had loaned Hedwig to other...
An uncanny amount of intelligence has been ascribed to owls in general in the Wizarding world. Implicit in their use as postal carriers is the suggestion that they can read and interpret written addresses, and given a name locate the corresponding wizard – in Hedwig's case, even if it is an alias. Owls are assigned an almost human level of understa...
