The Cursed Opal Necklace:
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets first appearance
"Do not Touch! Cursed. Has claimed the lives of nineteen Muggle owners to date."
—The warning label for the necklace's display.
Is a cursed Dark object, made of opals, that was, for a period of time, on sale at Borgin and Burkes. It is claimed to have taken the lives of nineteen different Muggles. It was also used by Draco Malfoy in a failed attempt to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, that ended up cursing Katie Bell instead.
"At once, Katie rose into the air... gracefully, her arms outstretched, as though she was about to fly. Yet there was something wrong, something eerie... Her hair whipped her by the fierce wind, but her eyes were closed and her face was quite empty of expression... Then, six feet above the ground, Katie let out a terrible scream. Her eyes flew open but whatever she could see, or whatever she was feeling, was clearly causing her terrible anguish."
—Effects of the opal necklace on Katie Bell
Usage: Cursed to potentially kill anyone it touches.
Cornelius Fudge Ministry of Magic Necklace
A Livery Collar/Chain of Office Collar of some kind. Generaly worn by Mayors, although given the relatively small scale population of Wizards in britain, an apt comparison between Minister for Magic and Mayors.
Ronald Weasley's sweetheart necklace from the Wizarding Trunk
In 1996, Lavender Brown sent her boyfriend, Ron Weasley a necklace for a Christmas gift. It was a thick gold chain, with large gold letters spelling "my sweetheart". It is implied that Ron and Lavender's relationship was so shallow, that she would not know what to get him since they spent most of their time snogging.
In the movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the necklace displays a gold heart with an arrow through it, rather than the words "my sweetheart." In the movie, the necklace was not given to Ron over Christmas, but after they returned to school, where Hermione Granger sees the necklace and states she has to go and vomit.
Marvolo Gaunt's Ring : Horcruxes Ring
"See this? See this? Know what it is? Know where it came from? Centuries it's been in our family, that's how far back we go, and pure-blood all the way! Know how much I've been offered for this, with the Peverellcoat of arms engraved on the stone?"— Marvolo Gaunt brandishing his ring at Bob Ogden
The ring was an heirloom of the House of Gaunt, descendants of Salazar Slytherin and Cadmus Peverell. It was a gold ring inset with a black stone, engraved with what Marvolo Gaunt called the Peverell coat of arms, as it had come into the Gaunt line from an heiress of the Peverells, not the Slytherin family. The ring passed through the male Gaunts, generation to generation, until it was stolen from Morfin Gaunt by Tom Riddle, while Tom framed Morfin for the murders of the Riddle family. Unknown to either Gaunt or Riddle, the stone was actually the legendary artifact known as the Resurrection Stone, and the "coat of arms" was the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. While at Hogwarts, Tom openly wore the ring. He later made the ring into his second Horcrux. Tom did not enchant the ring right away, as he was seen wearing it while asking Horace Slughorn about Horcruxes, as seen through Slughorn's memories in a pensieve. In 1996, Albus Dumbledore retrieved the ring, eventually destroying it with Godric Gryffindor's Sword.
Info about the ring when it was a Horcrux:
Manufacturer: Death or Cadmus Peverell
Made in the early middle ages
Used as ring then as horcrux then it was reunited with the other two deathly hallows.
The only horcrux victim was Tom Riddle Senior the father of He who must not be named.
Owners of the ring Peverell family,House of Gaunt, Marvolo Gaunt, Morfin Gaunt,Tom Marvolo Riddle, Albus Dumbledore, and then Harry Potter.
The ring's story begins (and ends) with its black stone.
The stone happened to be the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows of legend, and had the symbol of the Deathly Hallows engraved on its surface. According to The Tale of the Three Brothers, Cadmus Peverell, the middle brother, asked Death for the power to return people from the dead. Death supposedly picked up a black stone from the nearby river bank and gave it to Cadmus, promising him that it contained the power he had requested.
Once Cadmus returned to his home, he took out the Resurrection Stone and turned it over in his hand three times. In doing so, he brought back his lover who had suffered an untimely death. While she did return from the dead, she was not truly alive and wished to go back to the world of the dead since she no longer belonged in the living world. For Cadmus, it was like being able to see her but not able to touch her or truly be with her. Seeing the stone's limitations drove Cadmus to madness, and he took his own life to truly join his love in death.
Slytherin's Locket (Horcrux)
"He looked at the serpentine S, inlaid with glittering, green stones: It was easy to visualise it as a minuscule snake... concentrating on the letter S, imagining a serpent, while the contents of the locket rattled like a trapped cockroach. It would have been easy to pity it, except that the cut around Harry's neck still burned... The golden doors of the locket swung wide with a little click. Behind both of the glass windows within blinked a living eye, dark and handsome as Tom Riddle's eyes had been before he turned them scarlet and slit-pupiled."— Description of the locket before it is destroyed by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley
Was a piece of jewellery originally owned by Salazar Slytherin that became an heirloom of his family. It was a locket of heavy gold with a serpentine S in glittering green stone inlay on the front. After descending down from Slytherin, it came into the possession of the Gaunt family, and Marvolo Gaunt treasured this heirloom of this pure-blood heritage along with his ring heirloom. After Marvolo and his son Morfin Gaunt were sent to Azkaban, the locket was stolen by Marvolo's daughter Merope Gaunt, who sold it to Caractacus Burke for ten Galleons, a price far below what the priceless artefact was truly worth.
The locket was bought from Borgin and Burkes shop by a wealthy witch with an affinity for rare or valuable items named Hepzibah Smith. In the mid-20th century, Smith showed it to a young Tom Riddle, who was an employee of Borgin and Burkes at the time. Riddle was interested in the locket (which was, after all, his birthright), and two days later, Hepzibah was found dead and her house-elf, Hokey, made a full confession (Riddle presumably performed a False memory spell on her, as he did with his uncle Morfin years earlier). Using the murder of a Muggle tramp, Riddle turned the locket into his third Horcrux and hid it in a seaside cave where he had hurt two children when he was in the orphanage. It was taken from the cave, however, by a defected Death Eater named Regulus Black with the attempt of having his house-elf, Kreacher, destroy it, but the elf was unable to destroy the locket. It was stolen by Mundungus Fletcher from 12 Grimmauld Place, the home of the House of Black. During Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger's attempts to find and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, they decided to track down the locket first after retrieving the fake one placed by Regulus from the cave. They learned from Mundungus that it was taken from him by a Ministry bureaucrat named Dolores Umbridge, and thus the trio infiltrated the Ministry, found Umbridge, and retrieved the locket. Ron and Harry retrieved Godric Gryffindor's Sword from the bottom of a frozen pool and were able to destroy the Horcrux with it in the winter of 1997.

Skele-Gro
"What did you expect? Pumpkin Juice?"— Madam Pomfrey regarding the foul taste of Skele-Gro to Herry
The one on the left is from japan and you can drink out of it and the right is custom made for me the front and back are amazing to look at the top comes off but I would not drink from this to fragel.
Skele-Gro was a dreadful-tasting potion which restored bones. It was able to mend broken bones, or even regrow entire bones that have vanished or been otherwise lost. For regrowing entire bones, the process was a notably slow and painful process that could take over a full day.

The Time-Turner
"I mark the hours, every one, Nor have I yet outrun the Sun. My use and value, unto you, Are gauged by what you have to do."— Inscription on Hermione Granger's borrowed Time-Turner
A Time-Turner was a magical device used for timetravel. It was a special timepiece which resembled an hourglass on a necklace. The British Ministry of Magic encased an Hour-Reversal Charm in the time turners they created, for additional stability. The number of times one turned the hourglass corresponded to the number of hours one travelled back in time. However, they can only stay in the past for five hours at a time, without the possibility of serious harm to the traveller or to time itself.
Gellert Grindelwald Pendant
This pendant contained the sealed blood of Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald after they madetheir blood pact in their youth.
Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald made a magical blood pact sometime in their youth, in order to prevent one another physically harming the other. The pendant remained in Grindelwald's possession for many years. However, during the Battle in the Lestrange Mausoleum at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France in September 1927, the pendant was stolen without Grindelwald's knowledge by a Niffler belonging to Newton Scamander. Scamander subsequently brought the pendant to Dumbledore at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry shortly thereafter, who was uncertain of whether it could be destroyed or not, but resolved to try
Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem
"A tiara said to grant wisdom to the wearer. It was lost for centuries before it became a Horcrux."
was the only known relic once belonging to Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Etched upon its surface was Ravenclaw's famous quote: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
It was said to enhance the wisdom of its wearer, which is Ravenclaw House's most treasured attribute. It had a blue sapphire shaped like an oval. The diadem was later stolen by her daughter, Helena, a fact Rowena kept a secret from the other founders 'till her death bed. As Rowena Ravenclaw was a very intelligent and powerful witch, it is most likely she enchanted the diadem herself, charming the object to increase the wearer's intelligence.

Albus Dumbledore's knife
this is ultra rear retired prop replica from Noble Collection.
"But Dumbledore merely smiled. There was a flash of silver, and a spurt of scarlet; the rock face was peppered with dark, glistening drops."
In June1997, Dumbledore used the knife to cut his hand in order to get some blood as a tribute or payment to open the sealed archway entrance to the seaside cave where he and Harry Potter retrieved the fake Horcruxlocket. Dumbledore offered the knife to Harry to use again for the doorway's blood tribute when they fled the cave, although since Harry had already scraped his arm on a rock, it was not necessary.

Colin Creevey's Camera
"A jet of steam had hissed out of the camera. Harry, three beds away, caught the acrid smell of burnt plastic."— The film of this camera having burnt up due to exposure from a Basilisk's stare
This camera was an old-fashioned Muggle camera that Muggle-born student Colin Creevey used to take pictures of his life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to show his father. Although most devices powered by electricity did not function in the presence of magic, the camera still worked at Hogwarts, since it was able "to run off the magical atmosphere" instead of its batteries.
Ronald Weasley's wireless radio
was a wireless used to tune into the rogue radio programme, Potterwatch. In 1997, Ronald Weasley attempted to tune in for weeks, only finding news broadcasts and once, a few bars of Celestina Warbeck's A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love. He finally figured out the password - "Albus" which allowed them to hear the programme.

The Sorcerer's Stone
"The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The Stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal."— A Hogwarts library book
Creating a Sorcerer Stone is one of the best known goals of Alchemy, and Alchemists have sought to produce the stone for centuries. Critics of the legend of the Deathly Hallowshave suggested that Beedle the Bard was inspired to create the life-restoring Resurrection Stone from the life-extending Sorcerer's Stone. In reality, the Resurrection Stone was, in fact, a genuine artefact with similar powers to its legendary depiction.
Despite countless attempts over the ages, the only Stone known to exist was created by famed French alchemist, Nicolas Flamel, sometime in the 14th century or later. Flamel used the Elixir of Life derived from the stone to extend his and his wife Perenelle's lifespan for over six centuries.
While living in Paris in 1927, Flamel kept the Sorcerer's Stone in the back of a shelf next to his phoenix book in a glass dome where it could be seen when he met Jacob Kowalski.
During Gilderoy Lockhart's student days at Hogwarts, he would rant to anyone who would bother to listen about planning to achieve many impressive feats, one of which is to create a Philosopher's Stone before graduation; of course, he never did so.
The Last Will and Testament of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Was revealed one month after his death to Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger by Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour. For thirty-one days, the Ministry of Magic had not carried out Dumbledore's wishes as laid out in the will, instead temporarily confiscating and inspecting them under the Decree for Justifiable Confiscation for clues as to what Dumbledore intended the three teenagers to do with the items he left them. As they were not able to find any Dark magic in the items, the Ministry was no longer legally entitled to inspect them, and Scrimgeour brought them to the Burrow to give to Harry, Hermione, and Ron, interrupting Harry's birthday celebrations in the process.
The will had been properly witnessed, and had been validated by Advocates to the Wizarding World.
The Deluminator to Ron, The Tales of Beedle the Bard to Hermione, The Golden Snitch the very first one he captured and Sword of Gryffindor to Harry.
The interactive Marauder's Map
"Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers are proud to present THE MARAUDER'S MAP.
The Marauder's Map was created by Remus Lupin(Moony), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail), Sirius Black III(Padfoot), and James Potter I (Prongs) while they were attending Hogwarts. The creation of the map started by 1974[3] and was finished between 1975 and 1978, because the titles on the map refer to the nicknames of these men in their Animagus forms, and, in Lupin's case, werewolf form. The four created the map via the usage of the Homonculous Charm, a powerful and advanced charm that enchanted the map to track the movements of everyone in the castle, as well as a charm to insult Severus Snape. The ability of Sirius, Peter, and James to become Animagi enabled them to explore the castle grounds by night undetected. The interior of the castle, meanwhile, was mapped over time with the help of James's Invisibility cloak.
The Marauder's Map a magical document that revealed all of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not only did it show every classroom, every hallway, and every corner of the castle, but it also showed every inch of the grounds, as well as all the secret passages that were hidden within its walls and the location of every person in the grounds, portrayed by a dot. It was also capable of accurately identifying each person, and was not fooled by animagi, Polyjuice Potions, or invisibility cloaks; even the Hogwarts ghosts were not exempt.
One of the map's possible flaws was that it did not differentiate people who had matching names (the shared names were not given a Junior or Senior at the end). Also, it did not seem to show unplottable rooms, as it was Dobby and not the map that revealed the existence and location of the Room of Requirement.
The Chamber of Secrets never appeared on the map either because the creators never knew of it or it was unplottable as well, since when Ron and Hermione were in it collecting basilisk fangs, they did not appear on the map similar to the Room of Requirement.

Professor Umbridge Quill
"Harry let out a gasp of pain. The words had appeared on the parchment in what appeared to be shining red ink. At the same time, the words had appeared on the back of Harry's right hand, cut into his skin as though traced there by a scalpel — yet even as he stared at the shining cut, the skin healed over again, leaving the place where it had been slightly redder than before but quite smooth... He looked back at the parchment, placed the quill upon it once more, wrote I must not tell lies, and felt the searing pain on the back of his hand for a second time; once again, the words had been cut into his skin, once again they healed over seconds later. And on it went. Again and again Harry wrote the words on the parchment in what he soon came to realise was not ink, but his own blood. And again and again the words were cut into the back of his hand, healed, and then reappeared the next time he set quill to parchment."
Photo soon sorry
This Quill was a dark magical object used as a torture device. It did not require ink, as it wrote with the blood of the person using it. It was invented by British Ministry of Magic employee Dolores Umbridge some time in 1994. What the user wrote would be carved onto the back of their hand and the blood from the words sliced into the hand would be magically siphoned and used as ink on the parchment. The wound on the back of the hand would then heal, slightly redder than before, and then open up when the user wrote again. Continuous use of it would eventually scar the back of the hand. The quill was black, long, thin, and extremely sharp.

Professor Umbridge letter to Professor Minerva McGonagall
This letter was written in September of 1995 by Dolores Umbridge to ProfessorMinerva McGonagall, to inform her of the actions of Harry Potter, who is in her House. Umbridge gave the letter to Harry to deliver. She sealed the parchment seamlessly to ensure Harry could not read it beforehand, but Minerva was able to open it with a tap of her wand.[1] At the top of the letter, which is written on pink parchment, an angry-looking kitten can be seen peering out of some leaves.[2] After McGonagall read the letter in her office, she gave Harry a Ginger Newtbiscuit for having the nerve to criticise Umbridge, whom she herself detested. The letter also contained the details of Umbridge's chosen punishment for Harry -- detentionwith her every evening that school week. interesting fact the contents of the letter are not seen in either the book or the film, but are only revealed in Harry Potter Limited Edition.
Minerva,
I would like to bring to your
attention the insolent behaviour,
in class, of Mr Potter.
The following reprimandable incidents
occurred under my authority:
1- Potter shouted at me in class.
2- Potter called me a liar in class.
3- Potter alleged that He who must
not be named has returned.
I trust you will consider these
transgressions with due severity.[2]

Professor Umbridge Cat Plate Set
"The surfaces had all been draped in lacy covers and cloths. There were several vases of dried flowers, each resting on its own doily, and on one of the walls was a collection of ornamental plates, each decorated with a large technicolour kitten wearing a different bow around its neck. These were so foul that Harry stared at them, transfixed, until Professor Umbridge spoke again."
Range of magical ornamental plates featured colorful, moving kittens, each wearing a unique bow around its neck. Dolores Umbridge collected plates from this line, due to her liking for cats (though she found the real thing to be too troublesome). During the 1995–1996 school year, while teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she hung cat plates in her office. Harry Potter found them to be extremely foul. Umbridge's office at the British Ministry of Magic also had these plates placed upon the wall. Harry Potter though that her office looked identical to her one at Hogwarts, whilst he was infiltrating the Ministry.

Rita Skeeter's Quick-Quotes Quill
"You won't mind, Harry, if I use a Quick-Quotes Quill? It leaves me free to talk to you normally..."— Rita introducing her special quill
A Quick-Quotes Quill was a magical quill that wrote automatically as the subject spoke. However, the quill did not record verbatim what the subject said, but rather took a subject's words and created sensational and inaccurate tales that bore little resemblance to actual events.
These quills were similar to Self-Writing Quills.One notable use of the Quick-Quotes Quill was when Skeeter interviewed Harry Potter after he had been chosen to compete in the 1994–1995 Triwizard Tournament. During the interview, the quill depicted Harry as a victim of tragedy despite him stating that he did not remember his parents. Whatever its origins may have been, Skeeter knew that not everyone approved of its use, as she hurriedly hid it from Albus Dumbledore.
In 1997, Skeeter mentioned in her interview concerning Dumbledore's posthumous biography that the Quick-Quotes Quill helped her to write the book so quickly after his death. She also used it to report on the 2014 Quidditch World Cup final. Some time after, there was a wizard who was murmuring to one of these quills.
Penelope Clearwater's mirror (I have both the full size and mini)
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie, as Penelope was not a victim of the Basilisk and it was only Hermione who was petrified, the mirror Hermione had did not seem to belong to Penelope.
This mirror was owned by Penelope Clearwater, prior to 1993. During that year, Hermione Granger, after coming correctly to the conclusion that the "monster" inside the Chamber of Secrets was indeed a Basilisk, she encountered Penelope on her way back from the Hogwarts Library, and warned her to use the mirror to look around corners. They both did see the Basilisk not long after, however, due to them thankfully only getting a glimpse of its reflection and not looking into its eyes directly, they were both petrified as a result, but survived the incident. They were both later revived from their petrification with the Mandrake Restorative Draught by the end of the school year.

"'When you say you've got the Cloak, and clothes...' said Harry, frowning at Hermione, who was carrying nothing except her small beaded handbag, in which she was now rummaging. 'Yes, they're here,' said Hermione, and to Harry and Ron's utter astonishment, she pulled out a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt, some maroon socks, and finally the silvery Invisibility Cloak... She gave the fragile-looking bag a little shake and it echoed like a cargo hold as a number of heavy objects rolled around inside it."
—Description
Hermione Granger owned a small, purple, beaded handbag, which she purchased in the summer of 1997 or earlier. She placed an Undetectable Extension Charm on it and inside it held many possessions she and her friends would need during their hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Inside the handbag, Hermione carried clothes, healing and camping supplies such as dittany and Perkins's tent, books, and Harry's Cloak of Invisibility.
Mechanical Death Eater, Noble Collection, Discontinued And Rare 2007
This item is very hard to come buy and extremely rare.
First appearance was in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie
A Mechanical Death Eater is also known as training dummy it was a piece of magical machinery designed for the purpose of Defence Against the Dark Arts, carrying both the likeness of a Death Eater and bewitched to move and roll around on its own accord, it was an excellent target for those who sought to improve their spell-casting. By the mid-1980s, several of these dummies had been placed at the Training Grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, on which several students, including as Bill Weasley, practised their defensive spellwork. These dummies had a wand so it was able to act as a real Death Eater would, and they could also be disarmed. By the mid-1990s, one such contraption had been placed inside the Room of Requirement, and was provided the group calling themselves for the Dumbledore's Army by the room's enchantments among an assortment of stored books and objects that would, during the 1995–1996 school year, provide them with tools necessary to train themselves in Defence Against the Dark Arts in preparation for the forthcoming Second Wizarding War in a time when the Ministry of Magic were still denying the return of Lord Voldemort. The dummy in question was subsequently used by the aforementioned student organisation to practise their spells inside . The dummy was used as a target while the group trained with such spells as Diminuendo, Expelliarmus, Stupefy, and Reducto. During the Calamity which affected the wizarding world in the 2010s, TrollConfoundablesguarded these dummies as Foundables, for which members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force could overpower with the Exploding Charm.
Hermione Granger Yule Ball Dress
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione wore a pale pink, frilly dress instead of blue dress robes. Ironically, her pink dress in the film actually resembles Pansy Parkinson's Yule Ball dress in the novel, her sworn enemy.
Hermione Granger owned dress robes which she wore for special, formal events. She paid unusual attention to her appearance and dress for the Yule Ball in December 1994. She wore dress robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and her usually bushy hair was made sleek and shiny by Sleekeazy's Hair Potion, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head. When Hermione arrived the ball on the arm of Viktor Krum, the famous Quidditch player and Durmstrang champion, she received a great deal of positive attention and compliments because of how pretty she looked. Even those who disliked her (such as Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson) were left speechless by how beautiful she looked.
Remembrall with stand I made
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone first appearance.
Glows red when the user has forgotten something
A Remembrall is a magical large marble sized glass ball that contains smoke which turns red when its owner has forgotten something. It turns clear once whatever was forgotten is remembered.
Neville Longbottom received one as a gift from his Gran at the beginning of the 1991–1992 school year. As soon as he held the Remembrall in his hand for the first time, it turned red, indicating he had forgotten something. The problem was he could never remember what it was that he had forgotten.
It was this particular Remembrall that drove Harry Potter into his career as the Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. When Neville Longbottom accidentally flew into the air in his first flying class, he left it behind when he crashed and broke his wrist. Draco Malfoy took it and threw it high into the air. Harry Potter chased it and caught it just as it was about to smash on the ground. Professor McGonagall saw everything, and was convinced that Harry's natural affinity for flying would serve him well as Gryffindor's new Seeker.
Remembralls were also banned in the O.W.L.s because they would be used to cheat. They were banned in the examination hall, along with other items that could be used for cheating, such as an Auto-Answer Quill.
On the Hogwarts Express on 1 September, 1995, Neville asked Harry to guess what he had gotten for his birthday. Harry suggested that it might have been another Remembrall, thinking of the gift that Neville had gotten in his first year. The actual gift he received was a Mimbulus mimbletonia, but he said that he could use another Remembrall, because he had lost the old one "ages ago".
During the Calamity which affected the Wizarding world in the 2010s, Remembralls were very minor magical disturbances, appearing as Foundables and guarded by Confoundables, which had to cleared up by volunteer wizards and witches of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force.
Dumbledore's Deluminator and Lantern
The Deluminator, also known as the Put-Outer, is a magical device used by Albus Dumbledore (the first known owner and designer of the one Deluminator known to exist) to remove light sources from the Deluminator's immediate surroundings, as well as bestow them.
It looks like a standard silver cigarette lighter.
Dumbledore left the Deluminator to Ron Weasley, in his will (presented by Rufus Scrimgeour), after his death.
In 1927, Dumbledore used the it to darken London's streets to talk with Newt Scamander and avoid detection by the Ministry of Magic employees.
In 1981, after the murders of James and Lily Potter, Dumbledore used the it to darken Privet Drive, where the Dursley household was located. Rubeus Hagrid was transport the baby Harry Potter to Privet Drive it allowed Hagrid to arrive with added security.
In 1995, Dumbledore lent the it to Mad-Eye Moody, who used it when transporting Harry from the Dursleys' home to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix at 12 Grimmauld Place. In 1996, Dumbledore used it again to darken Privet Drive before coming to collect Harry.
In 1997, it was left to Ron Weasley in Dumbledore's will. It seemed to also act like a homing device. Whenever Hermione and Harry mentioned Ron's name, he could hear snippets of conversation before and after, even though he was far away. It then acted as a guide, leading Ron back to Harry and Hermione after he left them following an argument.
In 1998, Ron Weasley used it again in the Malfoys' cellar, so that Luna Lovegood, Ollivander, Ron and Harry could see inside the cellar, releasing light that he had earlier taken from the lamps within Perkins's tent. And when Peter Pettigrew came down into the cellar, Harry told Ron keep the lights on, and leave as it is. The lights, being unable to rejoin their sources, simply remained in the room.
Venetian Cabinet
A pair of Vanishing Cabinets would act as a passage between two places. If an object had been placed in one, it would appear in the other.
The cabinets seemed to ward off all known defensive spells, as they were successfully used to transport several Death Eaters from Borgin and Burkes into Hogwarts School, and Graham Montague was able to apparate into Hogwarts despite the protection spells of the school normally preventing such an action.
Vanishing Cabinets were highly popular during the First Wizarding War; in the event of a Death Eaterattack, one could simply disappear to the other cabinet until the danger had passed.
Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder
Is a magical item imported by Fred and George Weasley and sold by Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. This darkness powder creates darkness when used, allowing the user to escape.
As its name indicates, it was originally invented by the wizarding community in Peru, which is the place from which the Weasley twins imported the powder. The darkness produced is resistant to many Light-creation spells, but the Hand of Glory is the one known way to find the way through it.
The Hand of Glory
This was a custom order. I believe he now has Etsy store
"Insert a candle and it gives light only to the holder! Best friend of thieves and plunderers!"— Borgin explaining the artefact's power to Draco Malfoy
The Hand of Glory was a dark artefact, a shrivelled hand which gave candlelight only to the holder. It could even shine through the veil created by Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, which was resistant to most light-creation spells.
During the summer before his second year, Draco Malfoy visited Borgin and Burkes with his father Lucius Malfoy. There, he saw the Hand of Glory and asked if he could buy it, with Borgin explaining its powers and connecting its usage to thieves and plunderers, which led Draco's father, Lucius, to scorn the idea of his son needing such a thing. Regardless, Draco purchased it sometime before his sixth year, and made use of it during his plot to assassinate Albus Dumbledore. He used it to escape from the Room of Requirement with the Death Eaters he had let into the school, after using Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder to make it impossible for anyone to see him leave the room. During the Calamity which affected the Wizarding world in profound ways during the 2010s, the Hand of Glory was one of the numerous magical items and artefacts that mysteriously appeared throughout the world, called a Foundable, which was guarded by Pixie Confoundable. Volunteer wizards and witches of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force had to dispose of the Pixie Confoundables with the Slowing Charm, which would return the Foundable back to Borgin and Burkes, its original place of belonging.
Professor Lupin's rare 1890 cabinet chest
Professor Lupin was the Defense of the Dark Arts teacher was year three. You see this chest at the end of The Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry Potter comes to Lupin office to say good bye and magically packing up his belongings to leave Hogwarts.
This is not the movie prop but it's ANTIQUE 131 year old vintage cabinet made in the 1890's exclusively in the UK. I got this in 2021. I have it empty right now not sure if I will put items in or not.
Mirror of Erised
The writing engraved on the frame of the mirror was supposedly in a foreign and probably dead language, but if one looked closely it said "I show not your face but your heart's desire" backwards, with the spaces rearranged. Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.
The Mirror of Erised was created before the end of the nineteenth century. It is unknown who the creator was. The mirror is one of those magical artefacts that seems to have been created in a spirit of fun(whether innocent or malevolent is a matter of opinion), because while it is much more revealing than a normal mirror, it is interesting rather than useful.
Indeed, it became grimly apparent over the years that the mirror could bring more harm than good; many wasted their lives before the mirror, losing track of reality as they were deluded by what they saw and unable or unwilling to accept it as mere fantasy. Some were even driven mad by seeing their most desperate desire presented before them as a mere image confined within the frames of the mirror, unable to achieve what they are witnessing.
It is unknown how it came to be at Hogwarts. A succession of teachers have brought back interesting artefacts from their travels, so it might have arrived at the castle in this casual manner, either because the teacher knew how it worked and was intrigued by it, or because they did not understand it and wished to ask their colleagues' opinions.
The Mirror had been kept in the Room of Requirement since around 1891. In September of 1927, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Albus Dumbledore looked into the mirror and saw his former best friend, Gellert Grindelwald, indicating he still has lingering feelings for him, as well an old memory of himself and Grindelwald in a barn where they made a blood pact; swearing an oath never to fight each other, showing that Albus still valued that memory, manifested before him by the mirror as his greatest desire, of the time when his friendship with Gellert was at its strongest that led to the two of them cementing it with the pact in the first place. 64 years later, in 1991, Dumbledore, now headmaster, had brought it out, and, tucking it out of sight in a disused classroom, initiated some key modifications to the mirror, so that it could hide the Philosopher's Stone.
The Mirror was discovered by Harry Potter on the night that he used his father's Invisibility Cloak for the first time, to search the restricted section of the library for information about Nicolas Flamel. In his attempt to stay hidden from Argus Filch, the school caretaker, he stumbled upon the classroom where the mirror was being stored. What comes after we know...
Other random thoughts the mirror of Erised reminds me of the mirror in Snow White is it possibly inspired by the magic mirrors in that classic fairy tales, in which the desire of the evil queen, mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all??
Tom Riddle's Treasures Box
"Riddle took off the lid and tipped the contents onto his bed without looking at them. Harry, who had expected something much more exciting, saw a mess of small, everyday objects: a yo-yo, a silver thimble, and a tarnished mouth organ among them. Once free of the box, they stopped quivering and lay quite still upon the thin blankets."— The contents of Tom Riddle's box
This small tin box was used by young Tom Riddle to store his collection of objects stolen from other children at Wool's Orphanage in the 1930s, which included a harmonica, a silver thimble, and a red yo-yo. He kept in a tin toffee box hidden in the wardrobe of his room at the orphanage.
