Harry Potter 1 Greek Mythology Reference (Cerberus):
In Harry Potter 1, "The Sorcerer's Stone", there is a Cerberus, named Fluffy, present standing guard as one of the multiple things protecting the sorcerer's stone. Cerberus is often also called "hound of Hades", and is a three-headed dog that guards the gates of the underworld to keep the dead from escaping. I personally think that the Cerberus was placed well in Harry Potter, just because of the myth of the three-headed dog keeping the dead from leaving the underworld, this also makes since in the aspect of the dog being there to keep the stone that keeps you alive forever from being taken.
