Hags

Chapter 3
A hag is a savage being that looks like an ugly, old witch but has more warts.They possess rudimentary magic, similar to that of a troll. Little is known of them, though it is thought that they are what Muggles think are witches and are therefore popular in Muggle literature.

History
In the 14th century, hags were "gliding about in search of children to eat" at Burdock Muldoon's failed meeting of the Wizards' Council welcoming any two-legged creatures as beings.
Quirinus Quirrell supposedly had a "nasty bit o' trouble" with a hag sometime in 1991 during his Grand Tour.
Sometime in or before 1992, Gilderoy Lockhart published a book called Holidays with Hags; whether the book was one of Lockhart's fictions, in which case it would be useless, or one of the stories he stole from other, memory-charmed wizards, is unknown.
In 1993, Harry Potter thought he saw a hag ordering a plate of raw liver from behind a thick balaclava.
A hag sent in "A Word in Support of Hags" to the Daily Prophet, offering babysitting services.

Ministry classification
The Ministry of Magic classifies hags as beings, a fact that causes centaurs and merpeople to desire the classification of beast.
