"It looked like a silver cigarette lighter, but it had, he knew, the power to suck all light from a place, and restore it, with a simple click."
— Description[src]

TheDeluminator,[1] also known as thePut-Outer,[3] was amagical device used byAlbus Dumbledore (the first known owner and designer of the one Deluminator known to exist) to remove light sources from the Deluminator's immediate surroundings, as well as bestow them.[3] It looked like a standardsilver cigarette lighter.[3][1]

Dumbledore left the Deluminator toRon Weasley, inhis will (presented byRufus Scrimgeour), after his death.[1]

History[]

Albus Dumbledore's usage[]

"He found what he was looking for in his inside pocket. It seemed to be a silver cigarette lighter. He flicked it open, held it up in the air, and clicked it. The nearest street lamp went out with a little pop. He clicked it again — the next lamp flickered into darkness. Twelve times he clicked the Put-Outer, until the only lights left on the whole street were two tiny pinpricks in the distance, which were the eyes of thecat watching him. If anyone looked out of their window now, even beady-eyedMrs Dursley, they wouldn’t be able to see anything that was happening down on the pavement."

On1 November1981, after the murders ofJames andLily Potter byLord Voldemort, Dumbledore used the Deluminator to darkenPrivet Drive, where theDursley household was located. Dumbledore was expectingRubeus Hagrid to transport the infantHarry Potter to Privet Drive, where Dumbledore would leave him at the Dursley household. Dumbledore's Deluminator allowed Hagrid to arrive with added security.[3]

In1995, Dumbledore lent the Deluminator toMad-Eye Moody, who used it when transporting Harry from the Dursleys' home to the headquarters of theOrder of the Phoenix at12 Grimmauld Place. The Deluminator again provided added security to keep Harry Potter safe, as he was a highly valued target among Lord Voldemort's supporters, and to keep the Order's headquarters secret, because these headquarters were also a highly valued target.[6]

In1996, Dumbledore used it again to darken Privet Drive before coming to collect Harry.[7]

Ronald Weasley's usage[]

"That is a valuable object. It may even be unique. Certainly it is of Dumbledore’s own design. Why would he have left you an item so rare?"
—Rufus Scrimgeour about Dumbledore's gift to Ron Weasley[src]

In1997, the Deluminator was left toRon Weasley in Dumbledore'swill.[1] It seemed to also act like a homing device. WheneverHermione and Harry mentioned Ron's name, he could hear snippets of conversation before and after, even though he was far away. It then acted as a guide, leading Ron back to Harry and Hermione after he left them following an argument. Ron speculated that this was the true reason that Dumbledore left him the Deluminator: so that he could find his way back to his friends if he ever left them.[5]

In1998,Ron Weasley used the Deluminator in theMalfoys' cellar, so thatLuna Lovegood,Ollivander,Ron andHarry could see inside the cellar, releasing light that he had earlier taken from the lamps withinPerkins's tent. And whenPeter Pettigrew came down into the cellar, Harry told Ron keep the lights on, and leave as it is. The lights, being unable to rejoin their sources, simply remained in the room.[8]

On31 October2009, Ron came back to Hogwarts to bring his Deluminator toHeadmistress McGonagall so she could take another look at it. On the way there, he travelled pastLondon and used the Deluminator to collect the lights of half a street. When he arrived, he happened to be attracted toNicholas de Mimsy-Porpington'sDeathday Party, where he talked toa student and showed them the Deluminator. WhenPeeves caused the lights in the party hall to go out, Ron encouraged the student to use the Deluminator to restore the lights.[9]

During theCalamity which affected thewizarding world in the late2010s, the Deluminator was among the manymagical items which becameFoundables, being guarded byConfoundables.[10]

Function[]

The main use of the Deluminator was to take or release light. There was a button on it, and when pressed, would absorb the nearest light source and a light ball would fly towards the Deluminator. If light was already taken, the Deluminator could also release light. The light would go back to their sources if the original source was nearby, otherwise the light would stay at the Deluminator.[3]

There seemed to be another use as demonstrated by Ron Weasley. Whenever the user's name was mentioned in a conversation, the Deluminator would play the snippet of conversation just before and after the user's name was said. Activating the Deluminator after this allowed the user toApparate to the location of those speaking about the user even when their exact location was unknown; Ron speculated that Dumbledore specifically left the Deluminator to him for this reason, so that Ron could find his way back to his friends if he ever left them.[5]

In 1932, Dumbledore used the Deluminator to turn off the daylight of the mirror world and leave a negative image of the real world to show Credence that they had been in an alternative dimension during their duel.[4]
