Smile Maine Coon in Harry Potter movies

I saw the latest Harry Potter movie last night and again Mrs Norris (the nosey cat) was in it. This time, in a glance, I could tell that it's a Maine Coon. I couldn't do that before I joined this forum...

So today I went in search of the Maine Coon that played Mrs Norris. Her name is Pebbles, and is one of three Maine Coons chosen to play this character.

I also found this on Mrs Norris:
Mrs. Norris was a scrawny, ill-kept and matted creature who constantly patrolled the corridors, looking to catch even the smallest student infraction. Three Maine coons played the part of Mrs. Norris. The unkempt appearance was achieved using a collar with fake fur attached. In addition, hair was spiked up using a non-toxic hair gel. Mrs. Norris’ malevolent red eyes were achieved using digital effects, not contact lenses.

Despite the Maine Coon, there are also a silver tabby british shorthair as prof something lupa nama and a red persian as Hermione's cat.

Ni ada cool quiz for harry potter fan to find out which HP character are you. Just for fun

Wow!!! u already an expert b4 u even hv a MC. In fact I hv spotted the MC in Harry Potter previous movies but I did not bother to find out what her names was. Mrs. Norris is a brown classic tabby & it's exactly what u r looking for. As u know my latest litter has got 5 brown classic tabby like her & if this is what u r looking for u sure m a very lucky girl Sya, coz u will hv the first choice choosing.

Or not so funny, in the latter case.......... British blues from my mother's exports to the USA featured in both "Beaches" and "Pet Cemetary". Never saw the latter movie - too much "yikes!" PR!

Actually Mrs Norris has always been my fav cat in Harry Potter, and thought that she would look beautiful if her owner brushed her a bit. But then it'll defeat the purpose of her character right???

Coony, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE KITTENS!!!!!! I'm counting days til mid December when I can see them for the first time. I'm so excited I've already started telling people I have 3 cats instead of 2....

Hi Sya,
Thats cool that you're going to own a Maine Coon kitty just like Pebbles. Wish I can have one too.

That beautiful silver tabby is Prof McGonagall (if that's the right spelling) but she doesn't transform to a cat much.

Hi Lesley,
I love the british blue in pet cemetery. I watch every movie that have animals in it as I love animals but its a bonus if they have cats in it like Cats N Dogs and Garfield.
