A Dungbomb is a magical stinkbomb that gives off a putrid odor. Dungbombs were invented in the 1800's by Alberic Grunnion. When handled, Dungbombs leave a person's hands dirty. Despite Filch's dislike of them, students still use them at school, most notably in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in the aftermath of Fred and George Weasley's departure. The Weasley twins once set a Dungbomb off under their Auntie Muriel's chair. Dungbombs are also found as items in the video games, such as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Filch once accused Harry Potter of using an owl to order Dungbombs in 1995 when he was actually sending a secret letter to Sirius Black. Students are constantly reminded that dungbombs are banned items at Hogwarts by Dumbledore, though only under the request of Filch.
