Wonder Witch
" Haven't you girls found our special WonderWitch products yet? Follow me, ladies"... Near the window was an array of violently pink products around which a cluster of excited girls was giggling enthusiastically."
— Fred Weasley introduces the WonderWitch products[src]

WonderWitch was a line of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products designed and marketed for witches. Every single one of the products were invented by Fred and George Weasley.[1] Although they were soon banned from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the rest of the Weasley Wizard Wheezes products, they could be sent in disguised as ordinary perfume or other such bottled products such as cough potions as a part of the mail order service.[2]

When Fred showed it to Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley in the summer of 1996, they both hung back warily. Neither was interested in the cosmetic products or Love Potions, but Ginny ended up purchasing a Pygmy Puff that she had named Arnold.[1]

When Romilda Vane asked, Ginny claimed that her brother Ron had a tattoo of a Pygmy Puff.

Behind the scenes

It is possible that, within the films, Fred and George did not invent the WonderWitch line, but merely sold the products. Another possibility is that the 1952 date is a mistake of the filmmakers.
  • It may have been possible the name was inspired by the American superhero Wonder Woman, who has often been considered one of the most reputable superheroines and inspiration to girls.
