"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...

Horace Slughorn compliments Harry Potter's brewed Elixir to Induce Euphoria[src]

The Elixir to Induce Euphoria is a sunshine-yellow potion that induces a sense of inexplicable, irrational happiness upon the drinker.

History

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. [2] According to the Half-Blood Prince's instructions, the potion recipe was heavily altered.

Brewing instructions

To brew this potion, follow these steps[1]:

  1. Add Shrivelfig
  2. Add Porcupine quills
  3. Stir four times anti-clockwise
  4. Add a sprig of Peppermint to counteract side-effects
  5. Add Sopophorous beans
  6. Add Wormwood
  7. Stir six times anti-clockwise

Effects

As the name implies, this potion induces sudden euphoria in the drinker - excessive singing and nose-tweaking are possible side-effects (a sprig of peppermint added to the potion during preparation helps to counterbalance these).

  1. Add peppermint until the potion turns red.
  2. Add shrivelfig until the potion turns turquoise.
  3. Stir until it turns blue.
