You plan on sending the elves packages of clothing in disguise, so they won't realise that they're cloths until they actually touch them. But Dobby opens the first package and being such a nuisance, he shouts and yells with delight that it's clothes, making all the other elves run away.
A perfect example of how annoying and stupid he can be.
I wish for a sack of galleons.

You get a sack of galleons. Then Draco and his band of cronies spots it and robs you blind.
I wish for a free tasting at Honeydukes.

You win a competition which entitles you to a free tasting of every sweet there is in Honeydukes on August 15th. You make your way happily to the shop but when you come up to it you see a note saying "We're sorry but the shop is temporarily closed due to the unavailability of staff. We hope you're enjoying your holidays like we are and we'll be happy to serve you all next week."
I wish for Snape's anti-grease shampoo.(very random wish you can tell )

You get some anti-grease shampoo. It stops your hair being greasy, sure, because it causes all your hair to fall out. (Imagine snape bald. )
I wish for a pair of earmuffs.

You get a free pair from Professor Sprout, but she also takes out a baby mandrake and it instantly starts screaming. Since you were so happy with your beautiful earmuffs, you hadn't put them on yet and so you faint. A girl comes by, and seeing how lovely your new earmuffs are, she takes them, and you never see them again.
I wish for Hermione's wand.

You get Hermione's wand but, since you're not her, when you try to use it the wand rejects you and blows up in your face.
I wish for a nice cold bottle of butterbeer. (They drink it cold right?)

I'm not sure to be honest. When I found a recipe once, it was to make hot butterbeer. They do describe it as warm.
After travelling far and wide for the last remaining bottle of cold butterbeer, you find an old dingy bar which has this bottle for sale. Having heard of your noble quest, he quickly tells you that it costs $100, a sum which you don't have after all your travelling. Although you beg him and offer 5 long year of free service to him, he still won't budge. So you leave the shop very disgruntled, tired and thirsty.
(But of you course, you can sue him now, can you not Ko? )
I wish for employment at Fred and George's shop. ;D

You get your job at their shop, but realize they've hired you to test their merchandise, not sell it. You go home with new injuries every day.
I wish for a nice broom-cleaning kit.

You get the broom cleaning kit, with all the wood polish things and the clippers for your twigs and everything. Then the next day someone steals your broom, so you have nothing to clean with your nice new kit.
I wish from a front row ticket to a Weird Sisters concert.

You pass an obsessed costermonger who tells you that he has a ticket for the concert but that he can't go. So you buy the ticket from him, although he does charge you extra. Unfortunately, when you go to the Weird Sisters concert, you are told by the security guard that what you have isn't a ticket to this concert, but to the Weird Brothers concert, a new group who has cobwebs growing on his instruments.
I wish a magical model of the Hogwarts Express.

You get a magical model of the Hogwarts express, complete with track and little coal engine and even a miniature witch and trolley. You test out the miniature model treats on the trolley but end up eating the whole lot in one go (since it's so small anyway) and the witch gets very angry with you and jinxes you. To make things worse, you burn your hand on the steam engine which, of course is very hot.
I wish for Hagrid and Madame Maxime to get married.

Hagrid proposes the Madam Maxime and she lovingly accepts. However, the day of the wedding, Hagrid wakes to find one of the Hippogryffs, formally-known-as Buckbeak, has gone missing. He rushes out to find him worried sick, forgetting all about his own wedding. After standing at the alter for hours and realising she's been stood up, Madam Maxime storms out and goes back home and never talks to Hagrid again. I wish for an everlasting bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans.

You get an everlasting bag of Bertie Botts beans but all the flavors in them are the gross ones like vomit and earwax and belly button fluff.
I wish for a horseless carriage.

You get the horseless carriage only to find that it is in fact pulled by a Thestral that you can't actually see and that you have to feed it carrion by hand. Ewww.... I wish for the fastest broomstick in the world.

You mysteriously win the fastest broom in the world through a competition which you had never entered. When it arrives by owl, you quickly tear away the packaging but all of a sudden the broom levitates on its own and zooms off before you can grab hold, seeing how it is the fastest broom in the world.
I wish for a trip to Zonko's.
