Bilton Bilmes was a British or Irish wizard who, during the 1980s, was living in the Highlands of Scotland, having taken up both residence and employment in the picturesque little all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade as the proprietor of Zonko's Joke Shop.[2]
Biography[]
Early life[]
Bilton Bilmes attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was Sorted into Hufflepuff.[7] During his school career, if his later profession was any indication, he was well known for his sense of humour. Sometime either during his schooling or after he graduated from Hogwarts, he poured Bulbadox powder in Horace Slughorn's mead as a prank which prevented Rita Skeeter from joining the Slug Club.[5]
He was an infamous prankster at Hogwarts, during a time when the school had strict discipline. However, his antics according to Rolanda Hooch introduced a balance between students and the faculty. He was beloved at the school for his humour. He became a member of Horace Slughorn's Slug Club. It took him three years to graduate the seventh year.[6]
Later life[]
He once accidentally set off some Stink Pellets in the closet in his home and, unable to get the smell out, resolved to burn every piece of clothing he owned and buy new ones, only to accidentally burn his home to the ground in the process. This mistake would haunt him for many years to come. By the 1980s, Bilton had settled down in Hogsmeade and took up a job at the local joke shop. Loud and affable, and with a childlike fondness and enthusiasm for pranks and mischief, Bilton was always happy to accommodate the young scoundrels of Hogwarts Castle with the latest within classical trouble-making whenever they came to his shop looking for prank devices, and actively encouraged their practical jokes.[citation needed]

In the 2010–2011 school year, Bilmes was still working at Zonko's. He was talking to Robyn Thistlethwaite when she accidentally set off Dungbombs and created a mess. One of the shop employees, Hrithvi, barred her for the incident.[9]
