Drooble's Best Blowing Gum

From UnknowableWiki

Drooble's Best Blowing Gum is a chewing gum brand that can fill a room with bluebell-coloured bubbles that will not pop for days. It can be bought at Honeydukes in the "Special Effects" section and on the Hogwarts Express (PS6, PA10).

Harry Potter buys some of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, along with every other kind of sweet on the trolley, from the trolley witch on his first journey on the Hogwarts Express on September 1, 1991. He shares his sweets with Ron Weasley who does not have the money to buy his own (PS6). Harry receives a large box of all his favourite sweets, including Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, from Rubeus Hagrid for Christmas in 1994 (GF23). One year later, the Trio and Ginny witness how Neville Longbottom's insane mother gives her son a Drooble's Best Blowing Gum wrapper when he pays her a Christmas visit at St. Mungo's. Neville's grandmother wants him to throw the paper away, telling him that he must have "enough of them to paper your bedroom by now", but Neville thanks his mother gravely and pockets it (OP23).

"Drooble's Best Blowing Gum" is one of the incorrect password guesses Harry makes when he wants to get into Dumbledore's office after he has a vision of Lord Voldemort at the end of his fourth year (GF29).
