SIGHTINGS
One memorable sighting of a Niffler occurred in 1996 at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Somebody managed to slip a hairy-snouted Niffler into Umbridge’s office, which promptly tore the place apart in its search for shiny objects, leapt on Umbridge when she entered and tried to gnaw the rings off her stubby fingers.

ACCORDING TO NEWT SCAMANDER

Everyone loves Nifflers, but unfortunately, they are not suited for housepets.
Though the Niffler is gentle and even affectionate, it can be destructive to belongings and should never be kept in a house.
