The horse-like creatures pulling the carriages are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Thestral|Thestrals]], and they can only be seen by someone who has witnessed death. Until now, Harry, like many other students, believed the carriages magically pulled themselves. They are visible to him now because he witnessed Cedric Diggory bebeing killed by Wormtail ([[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew]]). Luna Lovegood, a most unusual girl anyway, sees them because she was present when her mother accidentally killed herself while experimenting with a spell that went wrong. It will be learned later that Neville Longbottom is also able to see them, although the reason is unknown. Why Neville does not comment on them here is uncertain. We learn later that he had seen a relative die, and so should have been able to see them all along. His first encounter with them, therefore, would have been in Harry's second year; as Harry and Ron arrived in the flying car that year, they would not have been present when Neville encountered the Thestrals for the first time, and by now he may consider then commonplace. Curiously, most students seem unaware that Thestrals even exist, indicating that the people who can see them rarely mention them to others. Despite being gentle creatures, they are painful reminders of death that those they are visible to probably prefer to avoid. More is learned about these unusual creatures in Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, and they will have a role to play later in the book and in the series.

It could be argued that although Harry cannot see the Thestrals until after Cedric Diggory was killed, he, technically, had witnessed anotherother deathdeaths prior to Cedric's tragic murder. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 1|Chapter 1 of ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']], Harry "sees" the Muggle, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Frank Bryce|Frank Bryce]], being killed by Voldemort. However, Harry was not physically present when Frank was slain, which would likely explain why the Thestrals remained invisible to him. Harry instead watched the death through the mental connection he has to Voldemort, although what he was viewing was apparently real and from his own perspective. Although Harry was asleep at the time, he becomes convinced the experience was not a dream, but a true vision. It is also true, as we find out later, that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry mayPotter/Characters/Professor haveQuirrell|Professor alsoQuirrell]] seenhad died when Voldemort left him in the first book; Harry was there, but he was unconscious at the time and did not see Quirrell die. Finally, Harry was present when Voldemort killed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|his mother]], killedand bywhen LordVoldemort's killing curse rebounded on him. The author has said that in the first case, the sides of Harry's cot prevented him from actually seeing the death of his mother. In the second case, Voldemort, as we now see, wasn't really quite dead.
