I thought it appropriate that you should get to read the lessons we are doing at home. The ones my son Bertie and I are doing. As we are in March, we are learning about the March Hare.

The March Hare in Muggle culture is shown as a neurotic creature who has no time for anything because he spends his time with the Mad hatter and the tea party of Alice and Wonderland. They call this their un-happy party and in the story wish Alice a very unhappy birthday.

In Wizarding culture the March Hare is still represented as being a spirit of flight and whimsy however most understand it to be as a magical creature in a Patronus. For instance, the Patronus of Luna Lovegood is a hare and so too was that of Tonks, which took the form of a Jack Rabbit until her love of Professor Lu-pin grew stonger in 1996.
And changed into a wolf. In the Danish version of Babbitty Rabbitty, due to the translation her Animagus is a Hare instead of a rabbit.

In both cultures the hare dances around and leaps around causing one to dance and be merry. As a wild animal the hare is a larger and stronger version of the rabbit although related in many ways to the rabbit, Jack Rabbit and other animals. They have very long and big ears, can run a lot faster and are very shy.
