- "I bet it sneaked up here from Experimental Charms, they're so careless. Remember that poisonous duck?"
- — Ministry worker in 1997[src]
A poisonous duck was some sort of magical creature bred at the British Ministry of Magic.[1]
History[]
On the 2 September, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger infiltrated the British Ministry of Magic using Polyjuice Potion, with the intention of stealing Slytherin's Locket from Dolores Umbridge. When Harry set off some Decoy Detonators as a clever distraction in order to gain access to Umbridge's office, a group of Ministry employees believed the device escaped from the Committee on Experimental Charms's offices, and mentioned a previous episode regarding a poisonous duck.[1]
