Editing Magical objects in Harry Potter (section)

== Prank objects ==

=== Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes ===
According to the story, Prank objects from [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]] are made and designed by the owners of the shop, Fred and George, who test their new creations on themselves and other Hogwarts students.
* Patented Daydream Charms are kits that put the user into a "highly realistic 30-minute daydream".
* A Headless Hat creates a limited field of invisibility that covers the wearer's head, giving them the appearance of not having a head. Its counterpart is a Shield Hat, which deflects minor hexes and curses. 
* Trick Wands are magical fake wands that turn into a silly item (rubber chickens, tin parrots, etc.) when someone tries to use them.
* Extendable Ears are long flesh-coloured strings, one end of which is inserted into a user's ear and the other end placed further away towards a conversation or sound. Much like a listening device, the user will be able to hear the sounds as if they were much closer to the source.
* Portable Swamps are, as the name suggests, realistic pop-up swamps. They were first seen in ''Order of the Phoenix'' after Umbridge is named Headmistress. Fred and George set one off in a corridor, partly as a distraction for Umbridge so Harry can use her fireplace, and partly to just cause general mayhem. They seem to be reasonably difficult to remove: Umbridge cannot remove it and forces Filch to punt students across, while Professor Flitwick vanishes it almost instantly later on in the novel.
* Decoy Detonators are described as black horn type objects that will run out of sight, and make a noise giving the user a good distraction.

There are also prank items which the Weasleys import from elsewhere, such as:

*Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, which throws an area into darkness that cannot be penetrated by wand light or any magical means, although the effect wears off in a few minutes.

=== Other prank objects ===
Other prank objects include Belch Powder,<ref name="PA8">{{HPref|book=3|chapter=8}}</ref> Dungbombs (which explode and cause a large and extremely smelly mess), and Ever-Bashing Boomerangs (which hit their target repeatedly after being thrown). Fanged Frisbees are quite literally normal Frisbees with fangs and are first mentioned in ''Goblet of Fire'' as one of Filch's newest restricted items during Dumbledore's start-of-term speech.
