"Lupin tapped the kettle with his wand and a blast of steam issued suddenly from the spout."
— Remus Lupin magically boiling a kettle[src]

A kettle is a small pot usually used for boiling water, generally to make tea.[13]

History[]

Newton Scamander was known to have beaten off hostile magical creatures with his travelling kettle during research for his book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.[9]

Biting kettles were an enchanted form of kettle, used for the purposes of Muggle-baiting.[14]

During the 1990–1991 school year, a Muggle Artefact Smuggler cursed a kettle in another way so that it had the ability to severely burn its users, and sold it to an oblivious Muggle, who fell under the curse and had to be Obliviated.[11]

In 1991, while at the Hut-on-the-Rock, Rubeus Hagrid pulled a copper kettle from his pocket.[5]

Also in 1991, there was a copper kettle boiling on the open fire in Hagrid's hut.[6]

In 1992, Rubeus Hagrid had a huge black Dragon egg sitting in the fire underneath his kettle.[15]

Also in 1992, Rubeus Hagrid said that he would eat his kettle if anything that Gilderoy Lockhart said was true.[16]

Also in 1992, the trio's Polyjuice Potion hissed loudly like a boiling kettle and frothed madly.[17]

In 1993, Rubeus Hagrid almost extinguished the fire in his hut as he had spilled water from his kettle on it.[18]

Also in 1993, the fire in Sybill Trelawney's classroom was giving off a sickly sort of perfume as it heated a large copper kettle.[10]

Also in 1993, Remus Lupin tapped his kettle with his wand, and a blast of steam issued from the spout.[7]

In 1994, Rubeus Hagrid reached for his kettle shakily, as he asked the trio if they wanted to have some tea.[19]

Also in 1994, Frank Bryce began filling his kettle, but quickly put it down after seeing that there were lights glimmering in the Riddle House.[1]

Also in 1994, Dudley Dursley stole some of his father's grapefruit while his mother was occupied with the kettle.[3]

Also in 1994, during the Quidditch World Cup, Arthur Weasley picked up a dusty kettle and peered into it. He then gave the kettle to the trio, who went to fill it with water. Later on, Percy Weasley busied himself with the same kettle after Barty Crouch Snr had mispronounced his name.[8]

In 1995, Rubeus Hagrid used his copper kettle to boil water over the fire.[20]

Also in 1995, Albus Dumbledore used a blackened old kettle as a Portkey to get Harry Potter and the Weasley family from Hogwarts Castle to 12 Grimmauld Place.[2]

In 1996, Rubeus Hagrid was brewing tea for the trio in his enormous copper kettle.[21]

In 1997, Fred Weasley checked his reflection in a kettle at 4 Privet Drive.[22]

Also in 1997, Hermione Granger used a kettle to make tea for the trio while on the hunt for Horcruxes.[4]
