A Probity Probe is a type of Dark Detector that looks like a golden car antenna. It is waved in front of a person in order to detect concealment spells or hidden magical objects.

HistoryEdit

• In 1996, Filch used one on the students coming into the school.
• When the Death Eaters took over Gringotts in 1997, they stationed guards outside the doors with Probity Probes. Harry Potter used a Confundus Charm on the Death Eaters from under the Invisibility Cloak during his break-in so he wouldn't be discovered by them.

Possible usesEdit
