So since we have seen what a Maledictus is in the Harry Potter universe. I’ve been thinking about another animal in the series that seems pretty interesting. Mrs. Norris. I think that Mrs. Norris is a Maledictus, not only a Maledictus, but also Filch’s wife. Yes HIS WIFE. It makes sense if you think about it. Mrs. Norris seems to be suspicious. Why would a normal cat (she’s listed as only a cat, nothing “magical”) be as nosy as her, and report to Filch when students are up to no good? How is it that Filch can understand her? Because that was his wife. His wife before she turned into a cat. Filch wanted to stay in the Wizarding World and take care of his wife. It explains why they are so close. Also in the second book/movie,chamber of secrets, when Mrs. Norris get’s petrified, Filch flips out, threatening to even hurt Harry. He’s scared his WIFE has left him. What do you think?
