Caractacus Phelps

Caractacus Phelps (b. 1937) was a wizard from Staines. On April 1st, 1979, he (a 42-year old man, at the time) exploded no less than eight hundred Stink Pellets by dropping them en-masse from the roof of the Daily Prophet building in Diagon Alley. The resultant gas cloud caused untold discomfort throughout London and approximately 500 cases of 'Stinkitus' were reported. The non-magical authorities explained the stinking cloud away as an unpleasant emission from a nearby factory.
