Nagini.... I did not know this... Read to find out...

Nagini was a horcrux, which would suggest Voldemort had her long before that Brazilian snake wound up in the zoo...

"There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was given a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female."

Boa's aren't poisonous.
Nagini is poisonous."
She was corrupted when Voldemort turned it into a horcrux



It's obviously not Nagini, and I suggest newcomers to this topic should read all the previous posts like I did before speaking up. It just saves a lot of time.
I believe someone beat me to it, but I'd just like to point out that there are no "snake actors". If anything only the first snake would have an actor for the short scene where he's sliding away, and maybe right when Harry approaches it. But I can tell you right now that Nagini was completely CGI throughout her entire appearances. It would be far too dangerous to have a crazy poisonous snake like that on set, not to mention it would have to require casual friendliness from Voldemort's actor, and I wouldn't be to keen on acting like old chums with a giant venomous snake.
It would be far easier to simply add in a CGI snake rather than hire 20 snake trainers, and they would probably have to have about 5 snakes on set in case one is uncooperative. I think they had three owls to play Hedwig.
All in all, it's obviously not Nagini, it makes no sense at all and there is nothing to support it in the slightest. The one fact that the snake from book 1 was born in captivity is enough to completely destroy that theory.

Even without the breed difference it's completely stupid.

I'm with you. Starting to think that Ron White might be onto something with that whole "Can't fix stupid" thing...*faceplant*

If you bite it and it makes you sick, it's poisonous.
If it bites you and makes you sick, it's venomous.
Snakes are not poisonous, they are venomous.
Oh, and Nagini is a different breed of snake, as mentioned before.
I feel so much better.
jk rowling has said in an interview that its not the same snake

I may just love you a little for this. My teeth were getting sore from all the clenching.

Wow, I never noticed that! Good point!

I am sorry to say that this is NOT true, the whole point of the snake was to get you to understand Harry was a parseltounge and also Nagini would like Harry in the rest of the films. Also Nagini is A LOT bigger than the snake in the zoo... I KNOW MY HARRY POTTER FACTS! :D


Lol I just followed my notification to come unfollow this discussion for exactly that reason :P
It's because people read the op and cannot contain themselves because obviously they know the right answer and for some reason they never imagine that perhaps it's already been said in 4 pages worth of discussion. I call it the Yahoo Answers effect.

I also thought that Voldermort made all of his Horocruxs before his demise.

Yeah i think i'm going to leave this discussion too...i'm tired of seeing the same answers in different ways haha


In the book obviously the two aren't the same.. Voldy has had that snake since forever whereas Harry sat the boa free only when he was 11!

in the movie
to portray the Brazilian boa and Nagini!

Very true! Now I see why everyone's so confused...:)

Nagini was completely CGI..... she didn't have an actual snake playing her....

Hopefully people will stop commenting now that we've cleared it up.... I shall be leaving now.
