Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II)

Mr Weasley's collection of plugs and batteries.

Interested in the arcane?
W have powers hard to explain.
Symbols of a recondite force,
Mysterious we are, of course.

Eckeltricity - the way some wizards and witches (and perhaps even some Muggles ) might see it.

Pleasure at home, useful at work -
The collection is a hobby for Mr Weasley, but since he works at the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, his knowledge of these and other Muggle objects is probably useful at work, too.

Please, refrain from going berserk.
Reference to Vernon Dursley in the scene where Arthur chats about his hobby in his friendly manner.

An open mind or a mad mind?
Unconventionally inclined?
Arthur is an open-minded, unconventional wizard, but he also says: "My wife thinks I'm mad, but there you are."

We may be just odd and strange -
Another way some wizards and witches might see plugs and batteries.

We can make for a nice change.
Objects of a different (Muggle) culture.

We can ignore any spell.
"Eckeltricity" is not compatible with magic.

We can make him proud as well.
Arthur is apparently proud of his collection.

Who or what are we?
Mr Weasley's plug and battery collection.

Hint: Read the riddle with a magical mind.
The riddle describes Muggle object from the viewpoint of magical folks.

Guessed: Mr. Borgin and Mr. Burke, the St. Mungo's Healers, the wands that wizards/witches use to do their magic, Peeves, the Unspeakables in the Department of Mysteries, a Time-Turner, House Elves, magical portraits, Muggles, centaurs, fathers.

Decoy Detonators.

Double, double, - two clues here, double refers to the twins and also to the alliterative double D's.
trap and trouble - trap can be another word for decoy and it is designed to draw attention away so someone can cause trouble
Commotion that's abominable - it makes a noise as a distraction

Hint: Shy? We'll fix that. - Shy is a synonym for coy. To make someone less shy could be to 'de-coy' them

Guessed: the Weasley's trapped in the Dursley's fireplace, Fred and George's fireworks display, the Seven Potters, all the noise make inventing stuff in their bedroom, the enchantment in Bella's vault that multiplies everything during a burglary, shoving Montague into the vanishing cabinet, muffliato, Fluffy guarding the trapdoor, Mrs Black's portrait, Harry lobbing snowballs at Malfoy and his cronies, a love potion from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.[/color]
