Enjoy!Summary: When I say 'Hog's Head' and 'Valhalla' in the same sentence, you might think there is no way those two things have anything in common. Today I want to show you why the Hog's Head and Valhalla are the same thing. To start, let's talk about goats. Aberforth Dumbledore, the owner and bartender at the Hog's Head, has a connection with goats. He has had them since he was a kid, and still keeps them in his bar to this day. Why? And how are goats connected to Valhalla? I'll tell you. In Norse mythology there is an enormous "world tree" that connects the nine worlds. Laroar is the biggest branch of the world tree, which is situated in Valhalla. On that branch there is a creature named Heidrun. Heidrun just so happens to be a goat. From their udders comes mead. Aberfoth also serves mead. There are two more creatures around the tree. First is the stag Dvalinn. From Dvalinn's antlers flows the water that makes the rivers go. Goats and stags are clearly shown to be very close when the death eaters demand Aberforth to cast his patronus in the seventh book. The other creature in Laroar is the hog  Saehrimnir. Saehrimnir is hunted and killed every night for the warriors in Valhalla. The best part of Saehrimnir is the head.
