Enchanted Coins
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione Granger creates fake, enchanted Galleons that are used for communication between members of Dumbledore's Army. Like real Galleons, the coins have numerals around the edge; on normal Galleons these serial number indicate which goblin cast the coin, but on the enchanted coins, the numbers represent the time and date of the next meeting, and change automatically to match whatever numbers Harry Potter sets on his coin. The coins become hot when the numbers change to alert the members to look at their coins. The coins are also used in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to communicate between members of Dumbledore's Army.
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy uses a pair of enchanted coins to bypass the communication limits then placed around Hogwarts, thus managing to keep in contact with Madam Rosmerta, whom he had placed under the Imperius Curse. Draco reveals he got the idea from Hermione's DA coins, which were themselves inspired by Lord Voldemort's use of the Dark Mark to communicate with his Death Eaters.

A Howler is a bright red letter sent to signify extreme anger in the Harry Potter books. When it is opened, the sender's voice will bellow at the recipient, with the voice magically magnified to deafening volumes, before self-destructing. If it is not opened, it will explode violently and the message will be heard anyway, and will be even louder than if opened.[HP2] In the film version, the Howler folds itself into an origami-style set of lips before shredding itself into scraps of paper.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Ron Weasley receives a Howler from his mother, Mrs Weasley, after he steals his father's enchanted car and flies it to Hogwarts with Harry. Neville Longbottom receives one from his grandmother after Sirius Black uses his list of passwords to enter the Gryffindor Common Room in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Later in the series, Hermione receives one in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire after Rita Skeeter publishes an article in which she makes up a relationship between Hermione and Harry. Finally, Dumbledore sends Petunia Dursley a Howler in Order of the Phoenix, to remind her of the agreement to allow Harry to live at Privet Drive, when Harry's Uncle Vernon attempts to throw him out after being attacked by Dementors.
