| Fluffy is a giant three-headed dog used by Hagrid to guard the trapdoor leading to the underground chamber where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden in Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone. The only way to get past Fluffy is to lull him to sleep by playing music. Fluffy is based on Cerberus, the three-headed dog from Greek Mythology that guards the gates to the underworld. As with Fluffy, Cerberus was lulled to sleep with music by Orpheus. | |

| Thank you Rodro for the information. Let me add something: Professor Quirrel is the one who lulls Fluffy in Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, because Hagrid had let out that Fluffy could be lulled by playing music. | |
