Bin

"I've never seen a worse Keeper... but then he was born in a bin."

- Draco Malfoy, needling Harry Potter about Ron Weasley's Keeper performance

A bin is receptacle for the disposal of trash. In 1995, Draco Malfoy composed a song titled "Weasley Is Our King" as an attempt to undermine the morale of Gryffindor Quidditch team Keeper Ronald Weasley and that of the team itself. The song included the line "Weasley was born in a bin," considered highly offensive, as it suggested he was nothing but garbage. Later that same year, Augusta Longbottom told her grandson Neville to place a gum wrapper given to him by his mother in the bin.

Behind the scenes
In addition to a rubbish bin appearing the J. K. Rowling Official Site prior to its April 2012 redesign, the site featured a Rubbish Bin section where rumours about her and the Harry Potter series were addressed.
