A Lunascope is an astronomical instrument invented by Perpetua Fancourt, which shows the phases of the moons. It was created to counter the difficulty of using moon charts. Dumbledore kept one in his office. Harry chucked it into the fireplace in 1995.

At the start of his 3rd year, Harry spent some time at the Leaky Cauldron exploring the shops in Diagon Alley and eating under brightly coloured umbrellas outside cafes, where diners were showing each other their purchases. One diner boasted that he had bought a lunascope, which, it was claimed, removed the need to mess around with moon charts.[1].
