Dungbomb 
Explodes into a large and extremely smelly mess.
Fanged Frisbees
Literally frisbees with fangs. First mentioned in The Goblet of Fire, as one of Filch's newest restricted items at the beginning of term speech. First seen in Half Blood Prince.

Transportation

It should be noted that a major form of transportation in the Harry Potter universe is apparation and disapparation, which is a spell that does not involve artifacts of any kind. In the Harry Potter books, magic is depicted as a natural force, one that can be used to override the usual laws of nature while still being approached entirely scientifically. ...

Broomsticks

Broomsticks are used for transportation by wizards and witches of all ages and for the game of Quidditch. Their use is similar to flying carpets, although those are banned in England. In the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series, created by author J. K. Rowling, magical flying broomsticks are one of the forms of transportation for wizards and witches, as well as used for magical games like Quidditch. ...

Broomsticks are treated as a major consumer product in the wizard world. There are numerous brands and models of brooms, that all vary in their capabilities (see Broomsticks in Harry Potter). These range from expensive high-performance models that come out every year, to toy broomsticks for young children which only fly a few feet off the ground. The cultural significance of broomsticks is similar to that of cars. In the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series, created by author J. K. Rowling, magical flying broomsticks are one of the forms of transportation for wizards and witches, as well as used for magical games like Quidditch. ...


Since Harry Potter plays Quidditch, his brooms - a Nimbus 2000 and a Firebolt - are prominent in the series. The Nimbus 2000 was given to him by Professor Minerva McGonagall, while the Firebolt was given to him by Sirius Black.


Floo powder

Floo powder is a glittering powder used by wizards to travel and communicate using fireplaces. It was invented by Ignatia Wildsmith (1227-1320) and named after the passageway which leads from a fireplace to the chimney so hot gases can escape, or flue (which did not exist at the supposed time of invention).


Floo powder can be used with any fireplace connected to the Floo Network. To transport from one fireplace to another, the traveller throws a handful of Floo powder into the fireplace (if a fire is lit, it will turn green), states the intended destination in a clear voice, then steps into the fire. Alternatively, the traveller can stand in the fireplace, then throw the powder at their feet. Floo Powder can also be used for communication, a wizard or witch can kneel in front of the fire and stick their head in, which will appear in the fire at another fireplace. The Floo Network is a system by which the wizards and witches of the world of Harry Potter travel as an alternative to apparition, portkeys and broomsticks. ...


In the second book the Weasleys travelled to Diagon Alley by Floo powder. Harry did not say "Diagon Alley" clearly, so he was instead sent to Borgin and Burkes shop, in Knockturn Alley. In the fourth book, Arthur Weasley uses his position at the Ministry of Magic to have the Dursleys' fireplace temporarily connected to the Floo network, unaware that the fireplace had been bricked up. Sirius Black uses the network to communicate with Harry in the same book. In the fifth book, Harry puts himself in considerable risk when he uses Dolores Umbridge's fireplace to communicate with Sirius Black; he is however forced to do so because Umbridge is monitoring all other lines of communication in and out of Hogwarts.

Flying carpets

Flying carpets are an alternative wizarding type of transportation, possibly around the world, but illegal in Europe (or at least in England). Usually they are a thick rug, frequently highly patterned and often manufactured in the Middle East. The obvious advantages of the carpet over the broomstick are that they can seat a number of people, including children and invalids, and are probably more comfortable to ride.

A map showing countries commonly considered to be part of the Middle East The Middle East is a region comprising the lands around the southern and eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea, a territory that extends from the eastern Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. ...


Flying Carpets were once an accepted form of travel for the British magical community, but they are now banned due to being defined as a Muggle Artifact by the Registry of Proscribed Charmable Objects. It's therefore now against British wizarding law to charm carpets or fly them, although they are still legal in other countries. Arthur Weasley was very much involved in the introduction of this legislation due to his position in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office. It's known that the ban was relatively recent, not only from Arthur's involvement, but also from the fact that Barty Crouch Senior's grandfather owned a 12-seater Axminster back in the days before they were prohibited. This article does not cite any references or sources. ... Bartemius Barty Crouch Sr. ... Location within the British Isles Arms of Axminster Town Council Axminster is a small market town on the eastern border of Devon, England. ...


A merchant by the name of Ali Bashir is very keen to export flying carpets to Britain and is very upset that local laws are preventing him from doing so. He regularly berates Arthur about the subject but it's very unlikely that the law will be changed.


Hogwarts Express

Main article: Hogwarts Express

The Hogwarts Express is ridden by students between London and Hogsmeade. The train starts from King's Cross railway station platform 9¾, which is invisible to Muggle eyes and is reached through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. Rubeus Hagrid meets the Hogwarts Express at Hogsmeade station in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. ...

The bus functions as public transportation for the wizard or witch in need everywhere in England, Scotland and Wales, bringing passengers to the destinations of their choice with seemingly no set route. It bolts through the streets, entirely invisible to Muggles and causing other objects to dodge it (rather than dodging the objects) to cover short distances. For long ones, the Knight Bus makes hundred-mile (160 km) leaps accompanied by a great bang and jolt, possibly similar to Apparating. The interior of the bus changes or is changed depending on the time of day, having chairs by day and beds by night. Its only limit in travelling is that it can't enter water.

The Knight Bus is generally used only by those who can't or won't choose another means of transportation. The jolts make travelling a severely uncomfortable experience. While the bus is lightning-fast by Muggle standards, still faster are near-instananeous Floo powder and Apparating.

The conductor of the Knight Bus is Stan Shunpike, and its driver is Ernie Prang. The bus makes its début along with its staff in the third book as Harry Potter unwittingly "hails" the Knight Bus by holding his wand arm out in front of him as he is standing on Magnolia Crescent. Harry also rides on the Knight Bus with a number of his friends in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The guard, conductor, captain, or foreman (depending upon country of origin, or railway system) is the senior railway official responsible for the safe operation of a train, whether it is a passenger or freight train. ...

Stan and Ernie are the Christian names of Rowling's grandfathers. A shunpike is a back road used to avoid tolls on a turnpike (or a person who habitually uses them), while "prang" is British slang for crashing a car or other form of transport (a word much used by RAF pilots in World War II).

Portkeys

Portkeys are first mentioned in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Once created by using the Portus spell, a Portkey can be set to transport anybody who touches it to a designated location, or to become active at a pre-determined time and transport to that location anybody who happens to be touching it at the moment.

The user feels a pulling or jerking sensation behind their navel, and then they suddenly appear at the destination. With enough practice, a graceful landing is possible: after the Portkeyed trip to the Quidditch World Cup in Goblet of Fire, Cedric Diggory, Arthur Weasley, and Amos Diggory landed on their feet, while the others (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins) fell onto the ground.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Jr., who was impersonating Alastor Moody, made the Triwizard Tournament cup a Portkey so it would transport anybody who touched it straight to the hands of Lord Voldemort, expecting it would be Harry Potter. However, Harry took the cup together with Cedric Diggory, so Voldemort had Cedric murdered with Avada Kedavra.

It has been noted by some fans that the simplicity with which Portkeys are created in the beginning of the fourth book (as a method for transportation to the Quidditch World Cup) and in the fifth book causes a possible plot hole in the fourth book: Crouch, posing as Moody, could have turned, say, a book, into a Portkey, called Harry into his office, and said, "Here, take this." This would have eliminated the need for Moody's entering Harry in the Triwizard tournament and guiding Harry through it, and the majority of the fourth book. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) or Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. ... The Quidditch World Cup is an event held in the Harry Potter universe every four years since 1473. ... Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) or Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game) “OOTP” redirects here. ...


However, several reasonable assumptions can explain this. Since Hogwarts has an anti-apparition enchantment, it would make sense for the creation of Portkeys on the grounds to be restricted. Moody would still be able to make the Triwizard Cup a Portkey, if it was supposed to be a Portkey anyway, to transport the winner out of the maze. This would explain why the Portkey took Harry back to Hogwarts and out of the maze when he touched the Cup the second time instead of back into the maze at Hogwarts. The creation of Portkeys may be highly restricted in general; although Dumbledore is able to set up an "Unauthorised Portkey" in the fifth book, it is treated as a serious crime; Fudge is upset that Dumbledore would create one in front of him, and at one point Lupin says "...it's more than our life's worth to set up an unauthorised Portkey."

It should also be noted that Voldemort may initially have intended to make his return public (Sirius points out that his comeback didn't come off quite the way he wanted it to) and has a predilection for overcomplex plots (as Wormtail noted, he could have used the blood of any enemy and returned at the beginning of the book). It is possible that he intended to cause maximum chaos to the wizarding world by murdering Harry and returning to his former position in as spectacular a manner as possible.

Time-Turners

A Time-Turner is a device in the magical world of Harry Potter, that allows for time travel. This article is about the Harry Potter series of novels. ... Time travel is a concept that has long fascinated humanity&#8212;whether it is Merlin experiencing time backwards, or religious traditions like Mohammeds trip to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven, returning before a glass knocked over had spilt its contents. ...


Hermione Granger received a Time-Turner from Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, so she could attend more classes than time would normally allow. Hermione is ordered to keep it a secret from everyone, including Harry and Ron, although they do notice the impossibility of her schedule, and several bizarre disappearances and reappearances. Hermione lets Harry in on the secret near the end of the book, where she and Harry use the Time-Turner to save Sirius Black and Buckbeak. Hermione Jane Granger is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. ... Professor Minerva McGonagall (born October 4, c. ... This article is about the book. ...

Hermione's Time-Turner resembled an hourglass pendant on a necklace.

It would appear that traveller is transported back to the general area where he or she was at the moment in time at which they arrive. Hourglass in 3-legged wooden stand. ...


A large supply of Time-Turners is kept at the Ministry of Magic, as seen in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; however, during the events of that book the entire supply of Time-Turners is destroyed. Due to their time-affecting properties, they are seen to smash and reassemble, over and over. In the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series as written by J.K. Rowling, the Ministry of Magic is the governing body of the magical community of Britain and succeeded the earlier Wizards Council. ... Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) or Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game) “OOTP” redirects here. ...


The possibility of time travel within the Harry Potter universe may seem to allow many plot holes, but characters appear to use them for trivial tasks that have no effect on existence as a whole. The one notable use of the Time-Turner within canon (to save Buckbeak and Sirius), obeys Novikov self-consistency principle. This fatalistic theory of time-travel (i.e. "Nothing can be changed because anything a traveler does merely produces the circumstances they had noted before traveling") is, incidentally, reminiscent of Rowling's employment of self fulfilling prophecy, but while prophecies within canon are relevant only to the degree that characters place relevance on them, (the books state Harry and Voldemort 'could' walk away and void the Prophecy if they chose), the same cannot be said for time-travel (there is no suggestion that one can change events by inaction). It has not been revealed in the series if any major events within the books or the Harry Potter universe as a whole have been related to time turners' misuse.

Vanishing Cabinet

At the end of the sixth book, Hogwarts is invaded despite its magical defences against transportation spells by means of a Vanishing Cabinet. This transfers objects which go into one Cabinet to a second paired Cabinet where they emerge. One broken Cabinet was already in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts. This was repaired by Draco Malfoy. At the start of book 6 he is seen in Borgin and Burkes shop in Knockturn Alley purchasing an item, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione are unable to see what it is, because he is standing behind a Cabinet. He also requests Borgin's help to repair some object. It is likely that the Vanishing Cabinet was broken in the second book, when Peeves drops it over Filch's office as a diversion. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the main setting of the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. ... Draco Malfoy is a fictional character in J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter books and Harry Potters principal rival and a foil. ... In the Harry Potter novels by J.K.

Knockturn Alley, a pun on nocturnally, is a fictional location in J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter series of novels. ...


The Vanishing Cabinet is mentioned several times in the earlier books, such as when Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington convinces Peeves to drop it (and perhaps breaking it) over Argus Filch's office in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in order to help Harry escape detention for "befouling of the castle" (tracking in mud). It was also used in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by Fred and George Weasley, when they forced Montague, the Slytherin Quidditch captain and member of the Inquisitorial Squad into it when he tried to take house points from Gryffindor. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince reveals that Montague's experience led Draco Malfoy to recognise that a pair of Vanishing Cabinets could be used as a magical passage. Malfoy later uses this artifact to smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts. The Vanishing Cabinets have yet to appear prominently in the films; in a deleted scene (available on DVD) in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry hides in a cupboard in Borgin and Burke's.

The Marauder's Map

The Marauder's Map was created by Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and James Potter (the Marauders) as an aid in mischief-making. They gained extensive knowledge of the Hogwarts grounds from their frequent night-time adventures while transformed as animals (Black, Pettigrew and Potter being Animagi and Lupin a werewolf). They used this knowledge to create the Marauder's Map. The Map bears the names of its creators by the nicknames they used amongst themselves (which are derived from the animal they transform into): Moony (Lupin, a werewolf), Wormtail (Pettigrew, a rat), Padfoot (Black, a dog), and Prongs (Potter, a stag).

At first glance, the Map is simply a piece of blank parchment; but when the user says, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," ink lines stretch across it, revealing the message "Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present the Marauders Map" and a map of Hogwarts (including secret passageways). The words "Mischief managed!" return the map to its original blank state. The Map also gives information on how to open secret passageways. One or two places (such as the Room of Requirement and probably the Chamber of Secrets) do not appear on the map. It would seem that the four friends either did not have any knowledge of them, or --in the case of the former-- they are unplottable.
