- "Found only in Britain and Ireland, the imp has a slapstick sense of humour and will amuse itself by pushing and tripping the unwary."
- — Chocolate Frog Card[src]
The imp was a magical beast found only in Great Britain and Ireland, notable for its sense of slapstick humour.[2] Imps delighted in tripping and pushing anybody they could get their hands on,[2] as well as lobbing Wizard Crackers and other small projectiles at anybody that they wished to torment.[1]
While rather nonthreatening, an imp could nonetheless be dispatched rather easily by anyone, by throwing back Wizard Crackers that it had thrown,[1] or by using a Knockback Jinx to daze it, and then dropping it into the nearest cage, hole, or bottomless pit.[3][4]
Description
The height of the imp was considered comparable to that of the pixie, between six to eight inches, but that was where the physical similarities ended. The Imp could not fly like the pixie, nor was it as brightly coloured. Imp breeding habits were like the fairies, but they did not spin cocoons but their young hatched full formed at the length of one inch.[2]
Imps made their home in damp or marshy areas, where they indulged their slapstick sense of humour by pushing and tripping the unwary.[2]
The imp's diet consisted mainly of insects.[2]
History
1986–1987 school year
In the late 1980s, an imp lived in the Magical Creatures Reserve. During the 1986–1987 school year, this imp caused some trouble in Zonko's Joke Shop known as the "Zonko's Dungbomb Disaster".[5]
1989–1990 school year
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Silvanus Kettleburn taught sixth-year students in Care of Magical Creatures about how to handle imps.[6]
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 console versions of the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, you encounter imps within Ollivanders, 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 console versions of the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They also appear in the PC version of 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.
