"Mr Filch, the caretaker, has asked me to tell you that the list of objects forbidden inside the castle has this year been extended to include Screaming Yo-yos, Fanged Frisbees, and Ever-Bashing Boomerangs. The full list comprises some four hundred and thirty-seven items, I believe, and can be viewed in Mr Filch's office, if anybody would like to check it."

— Albus Dumbledore giving his start-of-term speech in 1994

An Ever-Bashing Boomerang was a magical joke product that swung back to repeatedly hit the thrower. Argus Filch added these Boomerangs to the list of items banned at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the beginning of the 1994–1995 school year.

History

During the 1988–1989 school year, Jacob's sibling and Jae Kim got a box of a jinxed version of Ever-Bashing Boomerangs from Mundungus Fletcher, which would fly everywhere once released instead of flying back to the thrower. They later released them in the Great Hall with Tulip Karasu and Nymphadora Tonks which drove nearly everyone out of the Hall.

In December 2010, Zonko's Joke Shop sold Ever-Bashing Boomerangs. Robyn Thistlethwaite snuck into the shop when she was barred under the Disillusionment Charm. She knocked the Boomerangs and they sprung to life, drawing the attention of Hrithvi.

Behind the scenes

• In the original script from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it is said that Ever-Bashing Boomerangs are seen in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. However they were cut out, or at the very least seen in the background, and was replaced by Fanged Frisbees.
