- "Euphoria, I take it? And what's that I smell? Mmmmm.... you've added just a sprig of peppermint, haven't you? Unorthodox, but what a stroke of inspiration, Harry, of course, that would tend to counterbalance the occasional side effects of excessive singing and nose-tweaking... I really don't know where you get you get these brain waves, my boy..."

The Elixir to Induce Euphoria is a sunshine-yellow potion that induces a sense of irrational happiness upon the drinker.
Excessive singing and nose-tweaking are possible side-effects. Adding a sprig of peppermint to the potion during preparation helps to counterbalance these. The ingredients for the potion include Shrivelfig, mint sprigs, porcupine quills, castor beans, and Wormwood.
Harry brewed this potion in his sixth year while most of his classmates were taking their tests for Apparition licensure. Professor Slughorn set his remaining students the task of creating "something amusing." Harry prepared the potion with the hope that, if he could persuade the professor to taste the potion, Slughorn would be in "such a good mood that he would be prepared to hand over" the memory about young Voldemort and his search for information about Horcruxes.
