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

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.
