![]() This petrification seems quite powerful, as even the Elder Wand-wielding Albus Dumbledore concluded that the only way to reverse the effect was through the use of Mandrake Restorative Draughts. Sir Nicholas, being a ghost, was already dead as such, he only became Petrified as well, although he did look at the beast's eyes directly. Justin Finch-Fletchley saw the Basilisk through the translucent Nearly-Headless-Nick, and both were petrified. Another example mentioned above was when Colin Creevey saw it through his camera, resulting in his petrification and his camera lens becoming melted. Another way of surviving a Basilisk's gaze is by seeing it through another object. When a victim looks indirectly at the Basilisk's eyes, such as its reflection, they will merely become Petrified, as was the case with Hermione Granger and Colin Creevey, however Myrtle (commonly known as Moaning Myrtle) was not so fortunate, and looked directly into the Basilisk's eyes, which resulted in her dying immediately. The male can be distinguished from the female by a single scarlet plume on its head. Their mortal weakness is the crowing of a rooster. This is accomplished by using Parseltongue to put the creature into a deep sleep that prevents it from aging, similar to suspended animation. The Basilisk sheds its skin at intervals, like all other snakes, when it grows.īasilisks can live a natural life of at least nine hundred years, though Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk lived for approximately a thousand years. Basilisk skin is armoured like that of a dragon's, which deflects spells cast upon it. These eyes have the power to instantly kill anyone who looks into them. K.The Basilisk can grow up to fifty feet in length, and is a dark green color with large yellow eyes. ![]() Rowling: "Mahoutokoro" at Wizarding World ![]()
