Decoy Detonators

Object information

Manufacturer

Usage

Used to create a diversion[1][3]

Fred Weasley: "And our Decoy Detonators are just walking off the shelves, look. You just drop one surreptitiously and it'll run off and make a nice loud noise out of sight, giving you a diversion if you need one."
Harry Potter: "Handy."
—Fred Weasley showingHarry Potter Decoy Detonators[src]

Decoy Detonators were black horn-likemagical objects designed to create a diversion. After being dropped, the decoy ran a fair distance away, made a noise like a loud bang, and released clouds of black smoke, diverting attention from the user.[1][3]

History[]

Invented byFred andGeorge Weasley, they were for sale atWeasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Fred and George gave several of these devices toHarry Potter, refusing payment on the grounds that his thousandgalleon investment had allowed them to start the business.[1]

"Crouching down beneath the Cloak, he placed the Decoy Detonator on the ground. It scuttled away at once through the legs of the witches and wizards in front of him. A few moments later, during which Harry waited with his hand upon the doorknob, there came a loud bang and a great deal of acrid smoke billowed from a corner. The young witch in the front row shrieked: Pink pages flew everywhere asshe and her fellows jumped up, looking around for the source of the commotion."
—Harry Potter causing a distraction in theMinistry of Magic[src]

Harry used one on2 September1997, during theInfiltration of the Ministry of Magic, to create a diversion to distract severalMinistry of Magic employees. He subsequently enteredDolores Umbridge's office to search forSalazar Slytherin's Locket, one ofLord Voldemort'sHorcruxex.[3]

Decoy Detonators were among the various magical items that became trapped asFoundables across theWizarding world in theCalamity, which happened during the2010s.[4]

In the2010s, Decoy Detonators were sold atZonko's Joke Shop.[2]

InApril2020,The Burrow was mentioned as an important historical site in a travel guide titledOne Hundred Historical Sites from the Second Wizarding War, leading to a massive influx of tourists visiting the house and a resultingCalamity surge focused on it and its residents.Ron Weasley sent his father,Arthur, a box of Decoy Detonators in an attempt to scare off the tourists, but they only managed to startle thefamily chickens, who covered Arthur in feathers and pecked him relentlessly.[5]
