About[]
A Red Cap is a dwarf-like creature. They are drawn to places where human blood has been shed. They live in the holes of old battlegrounds and wait for people on their own to walk through on dark nights. They then try to bludgeon them to death. They can be easily repelled with charms and hexes.[1]
History[]
In September 1993, Professor Lupin taught third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts students at Hogwarts School about Red Caps.[2] In their examination, they had to go across potholes of Red Caps.[3]
