The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
"...in all the panic about You-Know-Who, odd things have been cropping up for sale everywhere, things that are supposed to guard against You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. You can imagine the kind of thing... so-called protective potions that are really gravy with a bit of bubotuber pus added..."
Fake protective potions were sold to people under the claim that the potions are to protect the drinker from dark magic, but in truth were usually nothing more than a scam, such as a mixture of Bubotuberpus and gravy. Following the return of Lord Voldemort, a vast market appeared for protective potions, most of which were fake and did nothing, if not inflicting harm to the drinkers. Small-time crooks like Mundungus Fletcher sold them to the frightened hordes, who apparently did not notice its unhelpful (if not harmful) ingredients.[1]
