    The film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was my first exposure to the creature known as the Cerberus. The animal was named “Fluffy” and depicted as a three-headed guard dog. Under the orders of school headmaster Albus Dumbledore, it watched over the trapdoor that eventually led to the titular Stone, an object with the ability to grant its user eternal life. The only way to “defeat” the Cerberus was to play music, lull it to sleep, and run away from it or dive into the trapdoor before it woke up. I initially believed that the animal was invented in the book of the same name that served as the basis for the film.
