Description "The Golden Snidget is an extremely rare, protected species of bird.  Completely round with a very long, thin beak and glistening, jewel-like red eyes, the Golden Snidget is an extremely fast flier that can change direction with uncanny speed and skill, owing to the rotational joints of its wings.

The Golden Snidget's feathers and eyes are so highly prized that it was at one time in danger of being hunted to extinction by wizards.  The danger was recognised in time and the species protected, the most notable factor being the substitution of the Golden Snitch for the Snidget in the game of Quidditch.*  Snidget sanctuaries exist worldwide.

*Anyone interested in the role played by the Golden Snidget in the development of the game of Quidditch is advised to consult Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp (Whizz Hard Books, 1953)."
--from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander

A model of a Golden Snidget bird from the Harry Potter universe.  The head and body are made of golden yellow pom-poms, the beak and little feet are golden yellow felt, and the eyes are two red jewel beads.  For the wings I used white felt dyed with silver acrylic paint.  This model is 1 3/8 inches (3.49 cm) tall.


The Golden Snidget, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and Harry Potter all belong to J.K. Rowling.
