Fawkes made a brief cameo appearance in Gandalf vs Dumbledore. It was portrayed by a puppet.
Information on the cameo
Fawkes is a highly intelligent male phoenix and Albus Dumbledore's animal companion and defender. It is unknown how long Fawkes had been in Dumbledore's service. He had been loyal to Dumbledore for many years prior to the Headmaster's death in 1997. Fawkes was instrumental in helping Harry Potter defeat Salazar Slytherin's basilisk in 1993. His tears (which possessed healing properties, as with his species) saved Harry's life after his arm was punctured by the basilisk's fang and its venom. In 1996, Fawkes came to Dumbledore's aid in fighting Lord Voldemort during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.
His tail feathers were the cores of the two twin wands which were held by Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter.
Appearance in the battle
Gandalf is seen holding Fawkes during the lines "Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks! I don't give a Fawkes about your Order of Phoenix!" During the latter, Gandalf is seen crushing Fawkes in his hand, igniting the phoenix.
Trivia
- Fawkes' namesake, Guy Fawkes, appeared as a rapper in Guy Fawkes vs Che Guevara.
- The name "Fawkes" was used as a substitute for "fuck(s)" in both battles.
