Earmuffs

Earmuffs are headgear designed to protect the ears and shut out sound.
==History==
They were essential equipment in handling mandrakes, the screams of which were fatal to humans. Second-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry used earmuffs when learning to repot young mandrakes since the cries could render a person unconscious, even if they were not yet lethal.In 1981, while delivering Harry Potter to the Dursleys, Albus Dumbledore mentioned to Minerva McGonagall that he owned a pair of earmuffs which Poppy Pomfrey had complimented.In the 1992–1993 school year, second-year Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs in Herbology fought to not get stuck with the pink and fluffy earmuffs, for a lesson regarding Mandrakes. For once, Neville Longbottom's luck was not all bad, and the Professor herself took the undesired items.On 2 May 1998, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter passed Professor Sprout and a group of students all wearing earmuffs as they prepared to launch Mandrakes at Death Eaters.
==Behind the scenes==
*In via Entering an earmuff wardrobe will give you earmuffs so that you can pick up and carry Mandrakes, allowing their voices to shatter glass objects. These earmuffs come in three different colour varieties, green, pink and grey, with the grey ones seeming to resemble earpieces typically worn by spies. Earpieces are also available in the form of spears.
*In , the earmuffs used during the Mandrake lesson did not seem to block out human speaking, as Professor Sprout and Seamus Finnigan spoke about Neville Longbottom fainting while both were wearing the earmuffs. - Chapter 10 (Mandrakes and Ron's Howler)
