Tom Felton’s Favorite Magical Creature Will Surprise You

After Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them brought so many magical creatures to life, it’s hard not to have a favorite. Indeed, Tom Felton has a favorite creature, but it’s not an adorable Niffler or beautiful Thunderbird. In a recent interview, Tom declared that his favorite magical beast is… a pink lion?

It appears that since Tom had just discovered that his Patronus is a cat, a pink lion was the first fantastic beast to come to mind. Perhaps he also had Steven Universe on the brain, since a pink lion appears on the show.

Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick, Griphook) also has a rather unorthodox answer to this question – he’d rather just give magical powers to his beloved dog, Sherlock.

Though these answers are adorable, they do feel like a bit of a cop-out. We certainly have our own ideas of which magical creature would be the best pet, so watch the video below and then tell us which is your favorite in the comments!
