George: "Why would anyone bother making door keys shrink?"

Muggle-baiting was a term for the practical jokes which wizards and witches sometimes played on unsuspecting Muggles. These pranks typically involved enchanting everyday objects in a way that would confuse or frighten Muggles who encountered them.
According to Arthur Weasley, while some in the wizarding community considered Muggle-baiting to be simply a good laugh, it was actually a manifestation of much more serious anti-Muggle sentiments. Considered too trivial for Aurors to handle, the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol was responsible for catching such culprits instead.
The Ministry of Magic kept an official definition of what actions entail "Muggle-baiting". These definitions were "stringent", and some wizards believed more lenient definitions were in order.
During the 1990–1991 school year, a Muggle Artefact Smuggler practised Muggle-baiting by enchanting Muggle artefacts and selling them back to Muggles. He sold a cursed kettle which could severely burn its user to a Muggle, who had to be Obliviated after being burned.
Willy Widdershins was a wizard who regularly engaged in Muggle-baiting pranks, such as jinxing Regurgitating Toilets in Bethnal Green in 1995. He had prior sold Frog Spawn Soap to Muggles in the 1990–1991 school year, and was caught by the British Ministry of Magic for his crimes. He was eventually caught in December of 1995 by Ministry officials, when one of his Regurgitating Toilets backfired on him, covering him in its contents.
