- "Bill had a pen-friend at a school in Brazil once. He wanted Bill to go on a student exchange trip, but Mum and Dad couldn't afford it. So the pen-friend got all offended and sent him a cursed hat, it made his ears shrivel up."
- —Ron Weasley[src]
The Ear-Shrivelling Curse[1] (incantation unknown) caused the target's ears to shrivel up.[1][2]
History
Prior to 1989, Bill Weasley's pen-friend from Brazil sent him a hat with this curse on it, because he was upset that Bill could not come to his country on an exchange trip since the Weasley family could not afford it.[2] Bill's brother Charlie was present when Bill was cursed, and thought it was funny.[1]
Bill later taught this spell to a group of sixth year students for extracurricular Defence Against the Dark Arts practice.[1]
