I recently read a quote where Rowling says that Nagini (Voldemort's pet snake) is the same snake that Harry released from the zoo in book 1. Does anybody know if that's true, atau is it a false quote?

link

Not much is known about Nagini's early life atau when she was acquired sejak Voldemort. It is unknown whether Voldemort owned Nagini before his fall in 1981, atau if he found her during his exile in Albania. However, it is stated that in the woods of Albania, the phantom-like form that was the remnants of Voldemort befriended many animals, yet only snakes could menanggung, bear having him inhabit them, thus leading to the notion that Voldemort and Nagini's relationship commenced in Albania.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Albus Dumbledore stated that Nagini was made into a Horcrux through the murder of an "old muggle man", likely referring to Frank Bryce. However, J. K. Rowling berkata in an interview that the murder Voldemort used to make Nagini a Horcrux was Bertha Jorkins.

Bertha Jorkins was murdered while on vacation in Albania.

There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was telah diberi a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female.

In addition to that, in the book itself, it states that the snake Harry released is native to Brazil.

It's false, I am certain. It was a rumour that got spread around. One of my classmates told me about it and I checked. Nagini is female, the caged snake is male. The caged snake is a boa constrictor and Nagini is not. It has not yet been determined whether J.K Rowling did say, “Yes, it’s rather funny, really, that seterusnya to no one realized the snake that Harry set free in Philosopher’s Stone turned out to be Voldemort’s final Horcrux, Nagini", but if she did, she must have meant that the snake actors were the same one.

That is a very good question. I discuss this possibility in "Wild and Crazy Theories: Theory #2: The True Identity of Nagini." In it, I present substantial evidence that proves the two snakes are different. There is one bit of evidence I'm sure I didn't cover in the article: the Horcruxes. (If anda have not seen Deathly Hallows Part 2, do not read this part. Also, anda should read this along with the artikel mentioned before.) anda see, Harry, while he was a Horcrux, could "hear" the others, proving there was some kind of connection. If the snake in the zoo was Nagini, and Nagini was a Horcrux at the time, wouldn't Harry hear it?
Also, one last note. It is known for certain that Harry is the last Horcrux Voldemort made in his first rise to power. My research has proven that Voldemort did not have Nagini at that time. It is also fairly certain that the pair met up sometime around the time Pettigrew returned. So, how could a Brazilian boa constrictor get to a remote forest in Albania when it really wants to go to Brazil?

Is false

I think it's true...but I regret it,if it was Nagini Rowling should have put something about Harry recognized it if it was the same snake!

Well I haven't heard of that particular rumor but:

1. If Harry released The snake in the zoo from captivity, don't anda think the snake would've been somewhat grateful.

2. And I'm sure someone stated this but the snake in the zoo happened to be a male. anda can hear the voice of the snake when it hisses Thanks. Nagini happens to be a female.

Yes. It's true. Rowling tends to give us surprises about the characters of her books, like when she berkata that Dumbledore was gay. Nagini was born in captivity. She would have met Voldemort afterwards.

ok this has really bugged me the snake in the zoo is a Burmese ular sawa, python and from what I can tell its real with a little cgi in the face but Nagini is loosely based on a reticulated ular sawa, python I mean loosely for a start no pythons have fangs atau venom they are constrictors they squeeze the breath out of there prey but then saying that I never know a snake to talk so I guess it all swings and roundabouts so just to clarify the story's suggest voldemort could have enhanced the snake but that wouldn't explain why u are looking at completely different species and colour of snake I have only kept snakes for 32 tahun I could be wrong

i've never heard atau read that anywhere.....doesn't mean it's false but....

I really don't think that's true, especially because Nagini was used to house one of Voldemorts horcruxs and i think he did that before he 'died' the first time.

however I may be wrong.

I'm not sure if its true atau not. It sounds like something she would do though. Its a great idea,and hopefully its real.

Can someone brief me on this whole 'Harry went to the zoo in book one' cause i dont remember that. But it has been years since i read the buku so.

Your soalan is false. Nagini was a house pet and he mainly followed Voldmert's orders so if that snake is the same it had to be sent sejak voldermort to make it true.

I think it is Voldemort's snake because when it was set free it talked to Harry and if anda looked closely anda would see that its the same kind.

Um, as tons of others have already answered, this is most certainly a NO. Don't trust Rawak quotes, anybody can post something and then say Rowling berkata it.

Nagini is a giant venomous snake, most likely a fantastical made up one, for one thing; Harry released a boa constrictor, which are nonvenomous, and kill sejak constricting. There's also the issue of her being male, while the boa is male. She'd immediately recognize Harry, too, and why wouldn't' she take that opportune moment to kill him? It'd please her master, and there were no wizards around that could save him. So yeah, the reaction also confirms it's a separate snake altogether.

Not to mention, Voldemort had Nagini for quite some time. He had most of the Horcruxes BEFORE he tried to kill infant Harry, meaning he had Nagini present sejak his side, for years, including the time Harry was at the zoo. She might have not been a Horcrux yet (not until later), but they were still together.
(He was weak at this time, probably leeching off of Quirrel, but he still had some loyal Death Eaters and had places to hide, like the cemetery atau Godric's Hollow, atau the cave).

Do anda think that a deadly, giant snake that was so important to the worlds' deadliest wizard would let itself get captured sejak Muggles? I don't.

I'm not sure what to say on this... it would make sense, but something doesnt add up here..

its a true fact i read it on pottermore

I think it might be true, I'm not totally sure but there are reasons that could support it. First anda might say Nagini would have killed Harry but, Nagini would not have found Voldermort yet so she wouldn't want to. She wouldn't have been a Horcrux yet because Voldermort made her a Horcrux after he returned.However there is no Hardcore evidence that proves the answer one way atau another

I dont know instead..

Yes, i read this two. voldamort afterwards put a spell on the snake. Since the snake new what harry looked like there was no work to be done

My Friends and I have always wondered about this! I really don't know, but I think it would be interesting if it's true, and I wouldn't be very surprised. Jo is very clever with her characters- and the whole series, really.

If it is the case though, if Harry hadn't let him free, he wouldn't had been able to kill Voldemort.

Thats a false quote. rowling actually berkata that that was WRONG.
besides, u can figure out that its false w/o finding out if rowling berkata it atau not. cuz first of all that snake was born in a muggle zoo, which obviously nagini wasnt. second, that snake was not the same species of snake as nagini was. and third, if it was nagini, then the snake would have killed harry right then.

In that case harry would have recognize it when see it for the saat time.

i think it's true

It is definitely false. All the evidence points against it being true.

It is true, the reason Nagini doesn't kill Harry right away was he saved her and she wasn't evil in the first book. Remember, Voldemort (The 'T' is silent!) was living off Quirrel's head?

That's very interesting, but i do not believe that it is the same snake although it is possible. For one, the snake from the zoo I believe was white-ish with brown spots and nagini is green and brown-ish..... Also, Nagini is female and the caged snake is totally male, so....

Its not true, the two snakes were of different species, even.. It was a rumor spread sejak someone and Rowling denied it

okay so I also recently read this ... and found that the snake in the zoo was a boa and nagini was a python. also, even if it was nagini... she wouldn't have killed harry potter because of course we learn in the book that nagini doesn't come into voldemorts life until after atau when Pettigrew does. also the reason that nagini has such a good relationship with nagini is because she is a horcrux

i bet it's false

Taken from Harry Potter Wikia:

"There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was telah diberi a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female. "

No, it's not the same snake, but they used the same snake to act out the part in the movies.

If it is true which come to actually think about it now is starting to mesh together and make sence it would be very ironic however in the first and 2nd movie he who must not be named as I recall never had the pet snake so maybe...

In the movies, Nagini is played sejak the same snake as the one Harry released. I am not sure if in the books, they are same.

Its false.

Bookwise... no, Nagini wasn't the snake from the zoo. The 'snake actor' (does that even make sense?!) was the same... I mean the same snake was used in the films. Yep. Nothing to do with the book. The snake was playing two parts. x

That is not true. first Nagini is a female, the snake harry freed from the zoo was a male. it was voiced sejak a male actor. Sorry, anda were telah diberi false information. Unless J.K. Rowling forgot and was trying to connect some loose ends but I doubt it.

Ultimately, yes and no. Let me explain. Filmmakers confirmed that Nagini was played sejak a Burmese python. It is also known that the snake at the zoo was played sejak a Burmese python. Yet, in the buku Nagini is specifically stated to be a viper of some sort, while the zoo snake was a boa constrictor. So, while a similar (or the same) snake was used to play the zoo snake and Nagini, they are different in the books. Then comes J.K. Rowling's statement. Whether she actually berkata it atau not is a bit of controversy, but ultimately, Harry Potter is her universe. If she says something that contradicts the books, she can do that. The peminat-peminat may not like it, but she can do it.

in the film the snake in the the film is a different colour to nanginie

I don't know if that's true atau not, but I don't think so. At first, the snake in the zoo was a male and Nagini wasn't. And although I don't know what happened to Nagini after Voldemorts death, but I don't think muggle's can catch her and put her in a zoo. A piece of Voldemort's soul is into her.

its 100% wrong

i think it is true it would only fit with the rest of the story

Its not true. Voldemort and Nagini met when Voldemort was AWOL.

I've heard this some other places too. I'm almost sure it's true.

knowing her, probably. she does add different things about people a lot, like Dumbledore being gay, atau how Hermione and harry should have been together, which would have been good.

I think it was the same ACTOR/ACTRESS, but not the same CHARACTER.

That is false. The snake harry released from the zoo was a Brazilian boa constricter. And plus nagini is almost 3x as big as the snake harry released from the zoo. And I'm pretty sure if the snake harry released from the zoo was nagini that it wouldn't have berkata to harry "thanks amigo. Brazil here I come". She would have killed harry that exact same way she killed Severus Snape in the deathly hallows part 1.

It could possibly be Nagini but the reason why she didn't attack him if it was her is because she doesn't know what he would look like at that age and also his hair was covering his scar the whole time.

I think that the snake is Nagini, but the reason why she didn't attack is because she didn't know that was Harry and Voldemort didn't even know who Nagini was. Nagini didn't even exist.

Nagini is not the snake from the zoo. The snake in the zoo was a ular sawa, python which are not venomous snakes. We know Nagini had to have been a venomous snake because Voldemort made Wormtail susu her for her venom to use in the potions to regain strength.

It says that Rowling berkata it. The snake that Harry set free was a boa constrictor from Brazil and I believe Voldemort's snake was some kind of a viper.

Thay are both 2 diffrent types of snakes...plus Nagini wouldn't have attacked Harry in his dream...or when Voldemort comanded Nagini to...

Has anyone really looked at the fact nagini resembles an anaconda and the snake at the zoo is a boa atau python. I also happen to think she is mixed with some sort of pit viper.

In the movie series, it is definitely NOT the same snake. The snake Harry releases at the zoo is a Burmese Python. It even says so on the cage tag. Voldemorte's snake, Nagini is a Reticulated Python. These are two very different species. I saw it as a case of typecasting, as the Burmese pythons are always portrayed as docile, and retics tend to be portrayed as maneaters. In reality, it is the Burmese pythons that are taking over the Florida Everglades. Captive bred Retics are often tractable pets, though not a good snake for beginners. But then, neither are Burms. I can't answer for the books, and don't know what Rowling may have said.

Nagini is a female. does anyone have proof that the zoo snake was a man (apart from the voice in the movie)

No because in the zoo its non-venomous and nagini is venomous
:)

It is incorrect, as the last horcrux voldy created was Harry, and nagini is also a horcrux, so she would be older than what the snake in the zoo would be (judging sejak its described size and length), and answer me this, would voldy REALLY let a horcrux be put in a zoo around the hated muggles?
Also, the boa constrictor was bred in captivity, and I believe nagini as a ular sawa, python of some sort of viper

this is false the snake in the zoo is a male Burmese python
and Nagini is a female Reticulated python
