For Christmas, in 1996, Fred and George Weasley offered their mother a brand-new midnight blue witch's hat glittering with what looked like tiny starlike diamonds.[3] Diamonds were among the gems set into Muriel's tiara, as well as moonstones.[4] Diamonds also filled the Hufflepuff House points hourglass at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[5]
