- Harry: "Ron, what's Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?"
- Ron: "Turn it to rum. Actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before--"

Eye of rabbit, harp string hum, turn this water into rum is a transfiguration spell that, purportedly, could turn water into rum.
Known uses
Seamus Finnigan tried to cast it in 1991, and in his first attempt, he managed to make a "weak tea," before causing an explosion. The next day, he tried again several times, but only caused another explosion, creating smoke and blackening his face.
Behind the scenes
- It is unknown if this is a real spell or not, although given that Seamus could turn the water into a weak tea it is likely that it is but he could not perform it correctly.
