The Imp is a magical creature found only in Britain and Ireland.
Biology and Description
The height of the Imp is considered comparable to that of the pixie, 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.
Habitat
Imps make their home in marshland, where they indulge their slapstick sense of humour by pushing and tripping the unwary.
Diet and behaviour
The Imp's diet consists mainly of insects. They also delight in pelting Wizard Crackers and other small projectiles at anybody that they wish to torment. Imp breeding habits are like the Pixie's, but their young hatch full formed.
Defence
While rather unthreatening, an Imp can nonetheless be dispatched rather easily by anyone, by throwing back Wizard Crackers that it throws,[1] or using a Knockback Jinx to daze it, and then caging it, or throwing it into a Gnome hole.[2]
Behind the scenes
- Imps are a creature originating from Germanic myth. Though their portrayal varies greatly, they are often seen as the mischievous familiars of witches or wizards.
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, you encounter Imps within Ollivanders Wand Shop, where you must knock them out with the 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 the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They also appear in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but instead of throwing them into a cage, they throw Wizard crackers, and you must kill them by throwing the Cracker back at them.
