A duck is a species of bird that mostly lives in water. The Ducklifors Jinx is a transfiguration spell used to turn living other creatures into ducks, in particular Erklings and Blast-Ended Skrewts.[1][2]
History
In 1927, an animagus was involved with an incident involving a duck, as reported by Le Cri de la Gargouille.[3]
A rubber duck is a type of bathtub toy, shaped in the likeness of a duck, that is fairly common in Muggle society, but may be rare in the wizarding world, as Arthur Weasley inquired of Harry Potter as to its purpose.[4]
When Herbert Chorley was placed under an ill-performed Imperius Curse, he acted like a duck due to his mind being damaged, and as a result, he had to be removed from the Muggle society while he recovers at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[5]
During the Infiltration of the Ministry of Magic, Harry Potter overheard an employee of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission mention an episode involving a poisonous duck apparently created by the Committee on Experimental Charms.[6]
