Hermione Granger (HBP promo) 5 "Are you a wizard, or what?"

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.

"Naturally, naturally. But in essence divided?"
— Dumbledore thinking aloud while observing the smoke from one of the devices[src]

Albus Dumbledore kept a variety of silver instruments in his office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1][2][3]

History

They made constant whirring noises and occasionally emitted puffs of smoke.[1][2] In December of 1995, by making careful observations of the snake-shaped smoke emitted from one of the devices, Dumbledore gained greater insight regarding Nagini's nature as a Horcrux, as well as Harry Potter's mental connection to Voldemort.[4]

In June of 1996, Harry broke many of these objects in a fit of rage after the death of his godfather Sirius Black. Dumbledore made no effort to stop him, remarking simply that he had too many possessions anyway.[3] They appeared to have been repaired or replaced sometime before September of that same year.[5]

Behind the scenes

  • It can also be noticed that one of these instruments was a 3-D replica of the Deathly Hallows. It had a gold pyramid (the cloak), and inside a hollow sphere (the stone), which was kept in place by a large vertical rod (the Elder wand).
  • In the video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it appears that some of these instruments were placed in the top of the Astronomy tower.
