- "So we've expanded into a range of Shield Cloaks, Shield Gloves... I mean, they wouldn't help much against the Unforgivable Curses, but for minor to moderate hexes or jinxes..."
- — George Weasley regarding these cloaks[src]
Shield Cloaks were magical objects created by Fred and George Weasley and sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.[1]
History[]
These cloaks were enchanted with a Shield Charm and, when worn, shielded the wearer from many light to moderate jinxes and hexes. They were quite useless against more powerful spells, though, including the Unforgivable Curses.[1]
Originally, Fred and George created Shield Hats as a joke item for their shop. However, after the Ministry of Magic ordered five hundred of them for their support staff, the Weasleys expanded the line into Shield Cloaks and Shield Gloves as well.[1]
