Reusable Hangman was a magical toy version of the traditionally pen-and-paper game hangman, developed by Fred and George Weasley and sold at their novelty shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. It consisted of a small, wooden man which climbed the stairs leading to a set of gallows with every letter missed. The product's box featured the slogan "Spell It Or He'll Swing!" When Harry Potter went to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in 1996, he saw a group of excited children crowded around this toy. ^[1]

Behind the scenes

• Thought it did not make it into the film proper, concept art of the Reusable Hagman was made for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Rather than a generic man, however, the film version would have contained a caricature of Dolores Umbridge.
