- "You, young potioneer, hold in your hands my masterpiece. With it, my place in history is assured."
- — Zygmunt Budge, Book of Potions[src]
The Book of Potions was a book concerned with the magic of potion-making,[3] written by the Potioneer Zygmunt Budge.[1] Like with Miranda Goshawk's Book of Spells, this potions book had the ability to conjure utensils with which the reader could brew the various potions included.[3] It also happened to be a portkey that provided access to an enchanted garden, inhabited by a troll.[3] A copy was kept in Hogwarts Library.[4]
History[]
During the Calamity in the late 2010s or early 2020s, a Calamity Investigator working for the Statute of Secrecy Task Force reviewed their copy of this book and found a passage suggesting that agitating a potion might sometimes be better than simply stirring it. The investigator eventually managed to locate a cauldron-sized lid after a prolonged search and tried following the book's advice. Although they spilled their potion a few times, this methodology helped reduce the brewing time for their Strong Exstimulo Potion.[6]

Behind the scenes[]
- As of 10 November, 2013, users on Pottermore could collect this book in the Hogwarts Library scene in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
- On Pottermore, Book of Potions can be purchased in Flourish and Blotts for three Galleons. It is uncertain whether this can be considered canon, however, as Wonderbook: Book of Potions makes it seem as if the copy housing Budge's spirit and located at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the only copy of the book in existence.
