Gryffindor, The Queen's Lab, Named After Harry Potter Character

Caption: The kennels, established by Edward VII in 1879 to house 100 dogs, are now home to some 20 gundogs, labradors and cocker spaniels of variety of ages 

The Queen has drawn inspiration from the Harry Potter books and named a litter of her breeding puppies after characters from the hugely successful children’s books.

A Labrador from one litter was named Gryffindor, the house the boy wizard belongs to at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

His name was chosen by the Queen who also personally names all of the puppies currently being bred at Sandringham Estate, the Queen’s country retreat in Norfolk.Read Full Post from The Telegraph Shop the Mother's Day Shop At CutterBuck.com! Get free shipping on all orders over $125
