A hippogriff is a mythical beast that like the griffon, chimera, and manticore is composed of the body parts of different animals. In one of the Harry Potter books, Harry and Hermione ride on a hippogriff. Here is a Hippogriff page on the Harry Potter Wiki, which shows images of it from a Harry Potter movie.
Sure, I have seen all Harry Potter movies, and it is a great name for a horse-something chimera. But my points are?
Why use it for a piece with the Tamerlane Giraffe move, which has nothing horse- (i.e. Knight-)like in its move? It has even less so than the hippo-less standard Griffon, which at least can move to the N squares.
If no one uses the name anywhere, or only for different purposes, why promote it here?
