The strange, horse-like creatures pulling the carriages are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Thestral|Thestrals]], and they are only visible to those who have witnessedseen death. Until now, Harry, like many other students, believed the carriages magically pulled themselves. He sees them now because he watched aswitnessed Cedric Diggory wasbeing murdered 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 experimenting with magic. Neville Longbottom can also see them, although he mentions nothing about it here. We learn later that he once saw a relative die. His first encounter with them, therefore, would have been in his and Harry's second year; as Harry and Ron arrived in the flying car that year, they were not present when Neville would have encounteredseen the Thestrals for the first time. By now he may consider then commonplace and could even be unaware that they are invisible to others. Curiously, most other students seem unawareoblivious that Thestrals even exist, indicating that those peoplethey whoare canvisible see themto probably rarely mention them. Despite being gentle creatures, they are painful reminders of death that those they are visible to would 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 is unable to see the Thestrals until after Cedric Diggory was killedmurdered, he, technically, had witnessed other deaths prior to Cedric'sthis tragic murderevent. 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 a mental connection he has to Voldemort. Though what he was viewingviewed was apparently real and from his own perspective, he was unaware it was actually happening at the time.

Finally, Harry was present when Voldemort killed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|his mother]], and when Voldemort's killing curse rebounded on him. The author has explained that the sides of Harry's cot (baby's crib) prevented him from actually seeing his mother's death, nor could he have comprehended it at so young an age. Additionally, Voldemort was not really quite dead.
