Parece claro, pelos livros e filmes de Harry Potter, que os animais (ou pelo menos certos animais) têm alma e podem se tornar fantasmas.
Membros da caça sem cabeça, por exemplo, andam em cavalos fantasmagóricos:
Through the dungeon wall burst a dozen ghost horses, each ridden by a headless horseman. The assembly clapped wildly; Harry started to clap too, but stopped quickly at the sight of Nick’s face. The horses galloped into the middle of the dance floor and halted, rearing and plunging; a large ghost at the front, whose bearded head was under his arm, blowing the horn, leapt down, lifted his head high in the air so he could see over the crowd (everyone laughed) and strode over to Nearly Headless Nick, squashing his head back onto his neck Chamber of Secrets
e Mopsy Fleabert escreveu um livro inteiro sobre espíritos animais.

Desde que se tornar um fantasma parece ser uma função de ter uma alma em primeiro lugar, parece provável que alguns, se não todos animais no universo Potter, tenham almas, incluindo os fenícios.
