‘“You don’t use your eyes, any of you, do you?” she snapped. “Didn’t you see what it was standing on?” “The floor?” Harry suggested. “I wasn’t looking at its feet, I was too busy with its heads.”’
Hermione Granger and Harry Potter in
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling

"Any wizard realising that one or more Ashwinders are loose in the house must trace them immediately and locate the nest of eggs."
—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them[src]
Incendiary serpent
(http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Ashwinder)

Basilisk
Snake-like creature whose gaze will turn you to stone.


Boggart
mimic

You have advantage over a Boggart if you can face it as a group (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3a9sr1/looking_for_advice_on_creating_a_harry_potter/)

Bogies (animated boogers)
‘“If either of you get us caught, I'll never rest until I've learnt that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about and used it on you.”’
Ron Weasley in
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling


Bowtruckle
Tree guardian. These tiny creatures are made of wood and usually live in wand-trees. They have knobbly brown arms and legs, two twig-like fingers at the end of each hand and a flat bark-like face with beetle-brown eyes. Eat woodlice.


Cat (Companion/Familiar)
http://www.springhole.net/writing_roleplaying_randomators/catcreator.htm

This average-sized adult cat is male.  He has a short cream coat.  He has a short, narrow face and is a bit pudgy.  He is a picky eater, is a bit lazy, and is very shy.

This small adult cat is female.  She has a medium-length fawn mink coat with white legs and underbody.  She has a short, narrow face and is somewhat thin.  She is especially fond of fish, is a bit excitable, and will jump on any available lap.

Crups
Crups – dogs that closely resemble Jack Russells, apart from the forked tail. The Crup’s devotion to wizards is only surpassed by its aggression towards non-magical people.  
As-is. These appear both in HP and D&D. Basilisk, Centaur, Cockatrice, Chimera, Ghoul, Griffin, Hippogriff, Imp, Manticore, Merpeople, Pixie, Salamander, Sphinx, Unicorn, Werewolf, Yeti

Companion Owls
http://www.springhole.net/writing_roleplaying_randomators/companionowl.htm
Your owl is an average-sized male eastern grass owl. He looks deceptively cute and is not very energetic.

Your owl is a large female snowy owl. She can be a bit uncooperative and is very cautious.

Your owl is an average-sized female barred owl. She looks deceptively frightening and is not very cautious.

Dementors
‘“It has nothing to do with weakness,” said Professor Lupin sharply, as though he had read Harry’s mind. “The Dementors affect you worse than the others because there are horrors in your past that the others don’t have.”’
Professor Lupin in
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, J.K. Rowling

Dementors
‘The revelation that his batty old cat-obsessed neighbour knew what Dementors were was almost as big a shock to Harry as meeting two of them down the alleyway.’

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling

fighting dementors is easier if you are happy and have brought chocolate with you. (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3a9sr1/looking_for_advice_on_creating_a_harry_potter/)

Rogue dementors may be a new and frequent threat, since the former Auror Kingsly Shackelbolt (now minister for magic) will them probably remove from Azkaban (where now many of Voldemort’s supporters are, again) (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3a9sr1/looking_for_advice_on_creating_a_harry_potter/)

Dragons
‘Dragons are extremely difficult to slay, owing to the ancient magic that imbues their thick hides, which none but the most powerful spells can penetrate . . .’

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling

Parseltongue is Draconic.

D&D Dragons are intelligent beings and modern-era HP dragons are simple beasts. If you’re playing in the Hogwarts founders era, you’ve got a thousand years to settle the difference. My lore excuse is: the metallics will sacrifice their lives so that chromatics lose their intelligence, language, and powers. Some metallics survived to the modern era but they’re less… shiny.
