Biography
Jasper Spellbody’s life was anything but ordinary. Born into the renowned Spellbody family, known for their apothecary business, Jasper quickly showed he had little interest in following the family tradition. Mischief coursed through his veins, and from a young age, he demonstrated an uncanny knack for pranks and creative chaos. His mother, Ellen Spellbody, had grand visions of him taking over the family apothecary, but Jasper had other plans.
When Jasper was fifteen, the family moved to London, a bustling city that thrilled the boy with its endless opportunities for adventure. That summer, Jasper attended a wizarding summer camp where he met a boy named Tigran Razi. Due to a potion mishap that muddled Tigran s ability to speak clearly, he mistakenly though Tigran had said his name was “Hank.” Rather than correct him, Tigran embraced the nickname, and it soon became their private code. “Hank” became the moniker under which their legendary pranking escapades were carried out at camp. Their bond solidified, and Tigran—or Hank, as Jasper continued to call him—became one of Jasper’s closest allies.
Having been homeschooled in New York his first four years Jasper headed to school a bit nervous and excited all at the same time. When Jasper arrived at the castle, he was sorted into Slytherin, a house that perfectly matched his ambition and cunning. Jasper reveled in his new identity, proudly embracing the green and silver. His younger sister, Delilah, was sorted into Hufflepuff. Sweet-natured and loyal, Delilah’s placement suited her to a tee, and though their houses were different, the siblings remained close.
At Hogwarts, Jasper quickly earned the self-proclaimed title of Prankster King. His antics became legendary, targeting students and professors alike. He invented elaborate schemes, often teaming up with Hank during school breaks to plan even more audacious pranks. However, Jasper met his match in Beatrix Kelton, the Conjuring and Summoning professor. Keaton was no ordinary teacher; she had a sharp wit and a penchant for turning Jasper’s pranks back on him in the middle of class. Their playful rivalry pushed Jasper to hone his craft, improving his methods and ensuring his pranks were more creative and foolproof than ever before.
Despite his mischievous nature, Jasper’s heart wasn’t all mischief. Soon he met Marissa Jean Billings, a younger Gryffindor with a fiery spirit that matched her firey red hair, an infectious laugh, and beautiful singing voice. Jasper was smitten almost immediately, and over time, they became close friends. He affectionately called her MJ, a nickname she adored. As their friendship deepened, Jasper found himself falling in love with her. Even after graduation, they stayed connected, exchanging letters as MJ pursued her dream of following in Barbara Streisand’s footsteps to Broadway.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Jasper faced a new challenge: his future. His mother expected him to join the family apothecary business, but Jasper had other ideas. He wanted to channel his creativity and love of mischief into something uniquely his own. Arguments with his mother were frequent and heated, but Jasper found unexpected allies in his father, Phillip, and his uncle, Barnabas. Together, they convinced Ellen to support Jasper’s dream of opening a prank shop in Diagon Alley.
With Hank’s help and the backing of his uncle, Jasper founded “Jasper's Jollies,” a magical emporium of pranks and novelties. Jasper, Hank, and his uncle immediately began creating unique products like Bellowing Bubbles, which roared like a dragon when popped, and Chameleon Chalk, which changed colors and textures as it was used. Jasper’s knack for innovation and his infectious enthusiasm made the shop seem like it would indeed be a hit with witches and wizards of all ages.
Now, in 1973, Jasper's Jollies is officially open and thriving! The shop bustles with customers eager to get their hands on his latest creations. Jasper’s life is exactly as he’d hoped: full of laughter, creativity, and the occasional bit of chaos. Through it all, he keeps in touch with MJ, cherishing her letters and rooting for her as she chases her dreams on Broadway. With his friends, family, and endless ideas, Jasper’s future looks as bright and unpredictable as one of his enchanted fireworks.
