Now I am the first to admit I am an out and proud Harry Potter fan. I have consumed all the content JK Rowling has produced on the world of magical and muggle, and particularly like the use of Owl Post:
Looming is the release of Deathly Hollows part 2 and more recently mention of “Pottermore” which I hoped would be an MMO or immersive world because I thought it would be cool to play a character in that realm. sadly Pottermore will not be anywhere near as cool, but maybe more potterverse, but will watch with eager anticipation.
I found the Spanish origami Society’s magazine archive “Esquinas” – in it was this rather splendid owl. the instructions take a lot for granted, annotations in Spanish do not really help but I muggled through.
There is much to love about this model – it stands by itself, rather cheekily and I can imagine it perched on a branch or taking pride of place in an owlery, it has a lovely round tummy, some fascinating eyes (the next time I fold this, now I know what goes where I am sure I could fashion pupils etc) and the overall proportions are neat. this is a clever design because everything tucks inside and there were only a couple of errors in the diagrams that were easy to fix visually.
Hi there! Thanks for the pictures of this pretty owl! However, I am having some trouble moving forward from the third picture on. Do you have some instructions that I could use to go from picture 3 on?
I had the same problem, Tiffany… It’s pretty much blowing my mind trying to finagle the paper into the fourth shape, and truthfully, I’m not even certain the 3 frame makes any sense. Maybe you have to cut it?
My blog is not really designed as photodiagrams, more hints to myself on what goes where. I am now not sure where I got the original diagrams for this owl – pretty sure it was from a “4 esquinas” eMagazine from the Spanish Origami Society, but I cannot find it anywhere now, sorry
I found it!
The magazine is free, it’s on the June 2011 issue. The diagram for the owl start on page 30, but if you are having trouble, just search for “buho” or “buhito” (apparently it’s the Spanish for owl).

Yours turned out very nice! I’ll try to make one too, but I don’t know how it’ll end up looking… Hehe!
fab news, and many thanks for the link. I must try and fold it again
thankyou so much
Thank you, thank you to Haine for the link!! I speak Spanish, so that helps me SOOO much. I was coming up short in locating it. I want to complete it, so I can share with my students at our upcoming HP night in October.
