Erm, as many may have noticed, there were significant additions to the list of Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

New:
-Skiving Snackboxes
-Weasley's Wildfire Whiz-Bangs
-Portable Swamps
-Extendable Ears

Anyone want to share ideas on these? Your favorites?

Well I thought the Portable Swamp was extremely clever of them. The snackboxes are pretty cool too, and useful. I wish I had some Weasleys in my school to get me out of classes...

The snack boxes. It wasn't just the snack boxes...it was the evolution of the snack boxes. They let us in on their method. Concept-Execution-Antidote.

The swamps and the fireworks were the best! And they used them so beatifully!

The snackboxes were pure genius on the weasleys' part. I really do hope their joke shop in Diagon Alley works, it's a fantastic idea and they'll do far better than that muddy Percy has.

I still like the Canary cremes. Ah... The good old days.

Oh yes, the Canary Creams, Fake Wands, and Ton Tongue Toffees are priceless.

Ah, my personal favourite is the Portable Swamp. I find that so funny...and also that Professor Flitwick left a corner of it there as a memorium of them.

Hmm.. I wouldn't mind using one of those swamps to flood out my school.

Actually, if you think about it, book 4 had a preview of the fireworks, when they were getting in the taxi heading for Platform 9 and 3 quarters and the fire works went off in the trunk. This may not be the same thing, but cool anyway.

I think I love everything except the Ton-Tongue Toffee. That was practically choking Dudley(Not that I minded, but it still could be dangerous). The Canary Creams, Fireworks, fake wands, and the swamp are very cool. The Skiving Snackboxes are rather useful too. And the Headless Hats.... I wonder if the twins could develop anything useful for the Order?

Don't forget the extendable ears. Those were my favorite! I'd have fun with those!

The Portable Swamps! Sad how Umbridge couldn't get rid of it...

NightFlarer
June 29th, 2003, 4:45 am
I enjoyed just about all of the Weasley twin's inventions.
The extendable ears were rather helpful.
The firecrackers were quite funny.
And the best one would have to be the swamp.
Just to see Umbridge struggle to get rid of it was funny.
Also, just the idea of a swamp in a hallway is fascinating.
And to think none of the teachers helped even though it would have taken only a swing of the wand to get rid of.

There fireworks were the best in my opinion. The fireworks in book four were Filibusters fireworks, not the Fred and Goerges. But there fireworks were pure genious. The way the moved throughout the school, constantly moving and changing and not being able to be put out. And when the merged with another firework formation something new came out of the mix. Coming up in second would the ones that made you faint for some time. There are so many times that i wish we had something like that so I could skip out of a big test by fainting in the middle of class.

I like the Portable Swamps....they're just so...unnessecary that they're completely and absolutely funny. That's that perfect revenge isn't it? Completely original, completely annoying at best, and, simply....portable. Along with the Canary Creams. Imagine turning your enemy into a small bird and running away. It's simply ingenius.

For sure the fireworks were the best. Like our fireworks but better!

It's hard to decide. Fireworks, Canary Creams or Portable Swamp? Hmmm... :devil:

Seeing as the Forth of July is coming up, I'll say that I like the fireworks the most. But I love the Weasley's control over Peeves.

June 29th, 2003, 4:16 pm
Extendable Ears were very useful, won't mind if I had some. Also I liked the Vanishing Hats(not sure of the name) and absolutely loved the fireworks. I especially liked Harry's comment on them "You'll put Dr.Filbuster out of business, no problem." LOL

~BrandyTook~
June 29th, 2003, 4:21 pm
I love everything. I can't decide between them because they are all pure genius. The canary creams are awesome and were my favourite before this book. The swamp is great! I love how the teachers wouldn't help Umbridge get rid of it. And I really loved how Flitwick kept a bit of it as a memory of the twins. The fireworks were hilarious and sounded really spectacular. The extendable ears were really useful and a genius idea. And the snackboxes were great too! I love them all and I'm glad to hear they're doing well with their joke shop.

June 29th, 2003, 4:26 pm
Extendable Ears, Portable swamps, the fireworks, and Snackboxes, in that order. :)

groovypokie
June 29th, 2003, 4:27 pm
I love all of their creations. But, the swamps, the extendable ears, and the lunchboxes were the best. The extendable hears could actually come in handy for the OotP.

Silver Phoenix
June 29th, 2003, 4:57 pm
The Fireworks(I love how the multiply if you try to vanish them lmao) and Etendable ears(so many uses...lol) were probably my favorite, but the Portable Swamp is a close second. And who could forget the classic canary cremes? gotta give those a mention as well ^.^

Fleur
June 29th, 2003, 5:09 pm
The fireworks were amazing. They thought of everyway teachers would try to get rid of them, and it wa sgenius of them to have them multiply by 10 or grow bigger if anything was done. And I just thought it was hilarious when someone said, "the fireworks were mating and producing children" or something to that extent. Just thinking about fireworks muliplying and changing was really awesome, because it made it that much harder for Umbridge to get rid of them. :p

Virtuousdream
June 29th, 2003, 5:19 pm
My rating...

1) Extendable ears - Oh How I would LOVE them to evesdrop with!
2) Fireworks, they sounded amazing!
3) Skiving Snackboxes - I wish they'd been invented when I still took Maths!
4) Headless hats - fantastic for halloween!
5) fake wands - just how they turn into useless things
6) Swamp - igenious
7) tongue toffee twister - I'd like to give a few people I dislike those!

June 29th, 2003, 5:38 pm
it has to be the Swamps, because it was the one that caused Umbridge the most trouble and it impressed even the teachers whcih is why a small portion of it was left as a tribute to the Weasley brothers.

I liked Skiving Snackboxes for the brilliance of the idea, but my favorite is definitely the fireworks/swamp... anything that annoys Umbridge has my vote!

My favorite right now is the fireworks that spelled swear words- and the one that escaped to the grounds, got tired by the late evening, but was still seen writing "poo" across the sky.

I just can't warm up to the Skiving Snackboxes. I kept imagining having those nose bleeds or up chucking or getting boils. I can fully appreciate the beauty of skipping the occasional class- and still remember landing in detention when I was out of class unexcused. But getting excused for a nosebleed- messy, uncomfortable and inconvenient. Yuck. Do you think it would be that easy to choke down the other end of the chew while you're suffering the symptoms?

Animagi rock!
March 9th, 2004, 12:55 am
Yeah, the nosebleed/vomiting snackboxes would be slightly disgusting. But hey, you can always take one that'll make you faint or get a fever. That wouldn't be too bad.

My favorite is a tie between the swamp and the fireworks with maybe a slight lead for the swamp. But I also loved the skiving snackboxes and canary creams. I can't wait to see what they come up with now that they're making that stuff full time. The development process should speed up a little.

I think they could. Their shop could be the prefect front for making weapons to use in the fight against Voldemort.

I like the fireworks!!! :tu:

Nycade
March 9th, 2004, 1:41 am
Oh, wonderful idea, pegoheart!!! The Weasley twins, although not particularly serious, are certainly clever. I bet you're right... I'm sure they could invent something to be used against Voldemort, and a lot of the stuff they already have could be altered in some way to serve the same purpose. Hopefully the Order is as clever as you when they consider possible weapons...

They could also send Voldemort a box of Canary Creams and then send in a hungry cat before they wear off. :rotfl:

I think we've at last found Crookshanks's true purpose in the books... :lol:

I do seriously think Fred and George have the capability to invent something for use against Voldemort. It seems so possible and yet so hidden that it fits J.K.'s style well. I would think it would be an adaptation of a current "joke" item... Extendable Ears could be quite useful for spying on suspected Dark wizards. Those could come quite in handy. The only problem is once they were sold in the store, they'd be easier to look for and recognize. Still, they have possibilities...

Weren't the fever ones the ones that cause the boils????

Definetly the fireworks, that was professionaly planned, and smething only the twins can think of. They think of the strangest things, or JK does for that matter. Oh and the swap... :rotfl: ...can you imagine?!

Animagi rock!

Yeah, they did, but the Weasleys fixed that by adding a few drops of essence of Murtlap, so everything should be fine now. :)

Fireworks or Extendable Ears

fleur magique

I loved the swamp and fireworks, however, I would never be caught without some of the skiving snackboxes on me. And if you think about it, with the Nosebleed Nougat they had to come up with something to stop the bleeding, maybe they will be able to help the Order in some way with things like that.

All of their inventions are pure genius. Fred and George Weasley, I salute you for your years and dedication to causing destruction and mayhem everywhere you go.

Jinxie Cat
April 4th, 2004, 7:02 am
The Weasley twins are such brilliant inventors!

I think the Skiving Snackboxes were great although I can't see myself ever wanting to try one! The fireworks were one of the funniest things in OotP and I think the Portable Swamps were genius! My favorite would be the Extendable Ears because I'd love to snoop on people!

EJS
July 9th, 2004, 4:50 am
I would love to have a box of fireworks or a pair of extendable ears. The ears would be very useful when trying to eavesdrop. I also like the concept of the snack boxes although I don't think that I would want to try them. The swamp was also very cool, but I do have to say that I also like the classics like the fake wands and the canary creams. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

My favorite Weasley Wizard Wheezes were the Skiving Snackboxes, the Weasley's Wildfire Whiz Bangs, and the Portable Swamps. I loved how the teachers roped off a piece of the swamp in OoTP :)

emerald eyes
July 9th, 2004, 7:29 am
Love the Portable Swamp and Fireworks! All the thought and magic that they had to put into them!! Pure genius!! I wouldn't mind a pair of those ears or the headless hat! :rotfl: Can't say that I would put anything in my mouth that they gave me though! :lol:

DougJohnston
July 9th, 2004, 7:46 am
Oh man I totaly forgot about the headless hats! Those were the best! Thanks for reminding me!

Romy
July 9th, 2004, 3:12 pm
Even thought the swamps are the most creative I canīt imagine they would be too handy. You probably couldnīt carry them with you and any pranks would have to be previously planned. So Iīd go with the amazing fireworks. Theyīll tenfold every time you try t vanish them. :D
Although, during some of my more boring classes I find myself wishing for a good supply of skiving snackboxes. Thatīs the most helpful of their creations.

Szymulation
July 9th, 2004, 5:01 pm
My favorite were the fireworks. The way they grew 10 times bigger if you tried to put them out sounded amazing. I hope we see them again in a future book.

Stephie
July 9th, 2004, 5:03 pm
My two faves would have to be the Skiving Snackboxes and the Portable Swamps. They were both created with such genius ideas. Though I think I'd find the Snackboxes more useful!

Same here. :-)

July 10th, 2004, 11:16 pm
The Extendable Ears were a great idea! I also like the Skiving Snackboxes...not that I'd ever use them...lol. The funniest was the swamp though, that was classic! The best part of the swamp was the teachers' reaction to it. They thought it was just as great as the students did!

FreyaCrescent
July 10th, 2004, 11:53 pm
The Fireworks and the Swamp were the best in my opinion. The reaction of the Professors to them was absolutely priceless. The whole fireworks episode made me laugh so much, and I loved the idea of Filch punting the students across the Swamp because no-one had worked out how to clear it up. I also like that a little bit of the Swamp has been left as a monument to the Weasley twins. They certainly made their mark on Hogwarts.

The Skiving Snackboxes is my favorite Weasley Wizard Wheeze. They would come in so handy in school. It gets so boring and it would be so much fun and rebelious to just leave school and do what ever i wanted to do.

Witflick
July 11th, 2004, 12:49 am
I like the Fireworks the best. I love how they're interactive with what spell is cast on them! They are literally hours of fun. Imagine a 4th of July celebration with a bunch of those fireworks. *sighs happily*

I like the Skiving Snackboxes. If they existed, I would be using the Nosebleed Nougat.

Creatively Evil
July 26th, 2004, 3:08 am
The Snackboxes were good, but I hate throwing up (used to have a phobia of it), and getting nose bleeds :(, but I'd still use them. My favorites are-Ton Tongue Toffee, the Portable Swamp, and the Extendable Ears.

Puchula
July 26th, 2004, 8:19 pm
Defenitly the Portable Swamp! I loved that the teachers "helped" the twins and didnīt remove it until Umbridge left the school. Also the Snacks are really handy, would love to have some of them for real

Maron
July 26th, 2004, 9:50 pm
Skiving Snackboxes. I would always use it before math. Altough I don't like being not well, but I'd probably take it. It's better then with a lesson with my math teacher.

RemusLupinFan
July 28th, 2004, 12:47 am
I liked the Swamp and the Extendable Ears best because both were very creative (especially the swamp). I love how Flitwick kept part of it, and how the twins were always using the Extendable Ears throughout the book.

Everything they have made is absolutly genius

October 15th, 2004, 9:12 pm
I really like their fake wands. I'm not a big fan or fireworks that are in the hands of amatuetures (long fire-works gone awry on the Fourth of July story).

The swamp was great but I loved the fireworks the best, I'd be Vanishing them for days! I also liked the fever fudge and the headless hats but the most useful to have around would be the extendable ears.

I think the most useful would definately be the extendable ears.
The swamp was brilliant. I like how the teachers didn't remove it untill DD came back.

Other than that, my favorite Weasley WW is the invisible head! I'd love to get one of those.

Faeriefire
October 22nd, 2004, 11:30 pm
Definitely the fireworks. Sheer genius, the way they last for hours and react completely opposite to anything meant to get rid of them... but all of them are great. Go Canary Creams!

My favorites are the Wildfire Whizbangs and the Portable Swamp. They really ticked off Umbridge with those. My second favorite is the Skivving Snackboxes, since students used to them to annoy Umbridge and get out of her class.

Joyce13
October 28th, 2004, 7:02 pm
Wildfire Whizbangs and Portable Swamp. I loved them. They certainly annoyed the heck out of Umbridge.

October 28th, 2004, 8:18 pm
Oh how I'd love the skiving snackboxes for work...no more boring Monday mornings for me! And the extendable ears would be very useful for finding out stuff that I really shouldn't know *mischievious side kicks in*
