* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' author J.K. Rowling has noted that snowy owls are actually one of the rare ''diurnal'' species, a fact she didn't realize when she started writing about how Hedwig would go out flying every night after a long day's rest. She suggests [[A Wizard Did It|being a magical animal]] may have something to do with it in-universe, however.
** In the first chapter of ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'' the Muggle news contains an item about how strange it is that so many owls are being seen in daylight, as a result of the Wizard celebration of Voldemort's first downfall.
