The Giant Squid is Giant
Sorry Ron. This giant squid didn’t eat Viktor Krum:
“they saw Viktor Krum…(as he) dived, right into the lake…’..there’s still the giant squid,’ said Ron. He didn’t sound anxious–if any thing, he sounded hopeful” (Goblet of Fire 444).
Then again, post-snogging with Hermione in the middle of the Battle of Hogwarts/marrying her and having Hugo and Rose, I imagine Krum is no longer so much as a threat as he once seemed. But I digress. Turns out that a real world giant squid has been found to have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom. Yep. Eleven inches makes for quite a giant eye. And 26 feet long, weighing over 1,000 pounds makes for quite a giant squid.
UPDATE: Please lsten to the AWESOME Wizard Rock band, “The Giant Squid!”
