======Fanged Frisbees======
=====Object Information=====
  * **Type:** [[Magical Joke Product]], Banned Item
  * **Owners:** [[Fred Weasley]] and [[George Weasley]] (as inventory), [[Ron Weasley]]
  * **Maker:** [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]]
=====Description and Appearance=====
A Fanged Frisbee is a magical flying disc, similar in shape and function to its [[Muggle]] counterpart. Its defining characteristic is an enchantment that gives it an aggressive, predatory nature, causing it to "snarl" and attempt to bite people and objects. While the novels do not provide a detailed visual description, it is implied they are equipped with magical fangs that can "nip" and "gnaw." In //Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince//, one is described as snarling as it flies through the air.
=====Magical Properties and Usage=====
The primary function of a Fanged Frisbee is to be thrown for amusement, but with the added magical property of actively trying to bite whatever it comes near. The enchantment gives the object a rudimentary level of aggression. They are capable of sustained gnawing, as demonstrated when [[Ron Weasley]] threw one into a tapestry in the [[hospital wing]], where it became stuck and began chewing the threads.
The intensity of the biting enchantment can be calibrated; early prototypes developed by [[Fred Weasley]] and [[George Weasley]] were described as "a bit nippy," suggesting a process of refinement was necessary. Due to their potential to cause injury, Fanged Frisbees were included on [[Argus Filch]]'s long list of items banned at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]].
=====History=====
Fanged Frisbees existed as a known magical object prior to the Weasley twins' commercial production, as they were already on the [[Hogwarts]] banned list by [[Harry Potter]]'s fourth year.
During their final year at [[Hogwarts]], [[Fred Weasley]] and [[George Weasley]] began developing their own version of the Fanged Frisbee as part of their burgeoning joke shop enterprise. They were seen testing their creations in the [[Gryffindor Common Room]]. After leaving school, they perfected the product and sold it as one of the premier items at their successful shop, [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]], located at [[Number 93, Diagon Alley]].
=====Role in the Story=====
Fanged Frisbees serve primarily to characterize the inventive and mischievous nature of the Weasley twins, representing their talent for creating complex magical joke items. Their inclusion on [[Argus Filch]]'s list of contraband highlights the constant tension between student pranks and school authority.
The commercial success of the Fanged Frisbee at [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]] is a key indicator of the twins' transition from school pranksters to accomplished entrepreneurs. On a more personal level, a Fanged Frisbee is used by [[Ron Weasley]] in //Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince// to express his frustration over his sister [[Ginny Weasley]]'s relationship with [[Dean Thomas]], providing a moment of comic relief while underscoring his emotional state.
=====Behind the Scenes=====
  * In the film adaptation of //Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince//, Fanged Frisbees are prominently featured in [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]]. In one scene, a young girl picks one up and it promptly bites her arm before flying away, visually demonstrating their aggressive nature (film).
  * Fanged Frisbees also appear as collectible items or interactive objects in several //Harry Potter// video games, including the adaptation of //Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince// (video game).
