- "Chocolate. Eat. It'll help."
- —Professor Remus Lupin[src]
Chocolate has special properties in the wizarding world. Not only does it make a wonderful treat for the consumer, but it serves as a powerful and excellent antidote for the chilling, cold effect produced by contact with Dementors, and other particulary nasty forms of dark magic. Remus Lupin carries chocolate with on the Hogwarts Express and give Harry Potter some after he got attacked by some Dementors. Madam Pomfrey, when she heard that Remus Lupin had given Harry chocolate after his encounter with Dementors, nodded appovingly and stated that "at last, we have a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who knows his remedies." She herself uses Honeydukes best chocolate as a antidote in the Hospital wing.

[edit] Behind the scenes
- It is possible that chocolate is used to ward off the effects following meeting a Dementor as it has chemicals inside it that release endorphins, which are human chemicals in the body that make a person feel happy.
