==Behind the scenes==
*Whilst every other owl species' price sold at Eeylops Owl Emporium is known, there is no information how much snowy owls cost. Snowy owls are not native birds in Great Britain and no snowy owls are other than Hedwig are seen within the Harry Potter series, suggesting that it may be unusual for Eeylops to have had one to sell.
*Despite Hedwig being established as a female, she is always portrayed by male snowy owls in the films, owing to their more predominantly white plumage.
