A Screaming Yo-yo was a magical toy that shrieked when a person played with it.[2][3]
History[]
During Mundungus Fletcher's first year at Hogwarts, a few limited time promotion Screaming Yo-yos were released that had flames drawn on their sides and produced a particularly musical scream. Both Mundungus and Rubeus Hagrid were aware of this promotion, with Mundungus even managing to acquire one for himself. However, Mundungus's yo-yo was confiscated by Argus Filch and left in his office for years until it was eventually recovered and returned to Mundungus by Jacob's sibling and Merula Snyde in the 1985–1986 school year.[3]
During a History of Magic class in the 1988–1989 school year, Nymphadora Tonks dared Jacob's sibling to use a Screaming Yo-yo to get Professor Binns's attention. The attempt failed.[4]
Argus Filch added the Yo-yos to the list of items forbidden at Hogwarts at the start of the 1994–1995 school year.[2]
Screaming Yo-yos were sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes for a price of five Galleons.[1] Fred and George Weasley caught a boy trying to steal one of these and warned him that if he did so, he would be paying in more than Galleons.[5]
Screaming Yo-yos became Foundables during the Calamity in the late 2010s/early 2020s, that had to be dealt with by members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force by returning them to their original place in the wizarding world.[6]
