Found only in Britain and Ireland, the Imp is a magical creature often confused with the Pixie. They are of similar height, between six to eight inches, but that is where the physical similarities end. The Imp cannot fly like the Pixie, nor is it as brightly coloured.
Imps make their home in marshland, where they indulge their slapstick sense of humour by pushing and tripping the unwary. The Imps diet consists mainly of insects. Imp breeding habits are like the Pixie's, but their young hatch full formed.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone video game, you encounter Imps within Ollivander's Wand Shop, where you must knock them out with the Flipendo Knockback Jinx and throw them in a cage to trap them. You will have similar encounters with them in the remainder of the game and in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They also appear in the video game of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but insted of throwing them into a cage, they throw Wizard crackers, and you must kill them by throwing the Cracker back at them.
