#Baby mandrake full

Since so many Twitter users asked where they can buy the mandrake root alarm, 2ji is now considering moving into full production if the demand is high enough. Many parents said they’d be happy to have their children carry these around, especially teenagers who no longer want to have the obvious kind hanging from their bags. However, when the company shared the design on their official Twitter account ( the tweet went viral, receiving over 212,000 likes. Unfortunately, the baby mandrake crime alarm is just a prototype and isn’t available for sale. Just look at its little surprised, screaming face!

The design is obviously much cuter than the plant that appears in Harry Potter, but the concept is so much fun, we can’t help but want one. When it’s returned to the pot, the pin is replaced, turning off the alarm. When the mandrake is removed from the pot, a pin pulls out that causes the alarm to go off. The sound comes from a personal alarm that hides inside the mandrake’s body. When encountering danger, all you have to do is rip it out from its pot–maintaining a firm grip on the base of the leaves, of course–and it will release its piercing cry and let everyone know that you need help. Similar to the kinds of alarms you might see attached to the school bags of young children in Japan, this baby mandrake alarm would attach to your bag or belt with a carabiner. If you liked that scene, or are a Harry Potter fan in general, then you’ll like what two-person design company 2ji (“Niji”) has created: a baby mandrake-shaped crime prevention alarm! Luckily, baby mandrakes can’t kill you, with only enough power in their voice to knock you out, but the scene when Harry, Ron, and Hermione have to repot the baby mandrakes is probably one that sits in many fans’ memories. Mandrakes, or “mandragoras”, first appeared in the above scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when Harry and his friends learned about the baby forms in their Herbology lesson. The roots of these plants, which look like ugly little people, would come out of the ground screaming in the world of Harry Potter, and if you didn’t protect yourself, a fully grown one could kill you. One creature that made a brief but memorable appearance in the books and the films–or was it more a plant?–was the mandrake plant. Nifflers, boggarts, bowtruckles…the endless list makes you wish you could explore them all! One of the most fascinating parts about the world of Harry Potter is the many unique, creatures. It’s still a prototype, but it’s garnered enough interest that it might become a full product!
