- — Harry Potter regarding Floo powder[src]
Floo was a flowering plant with magical properties. Floo Powder was extracted from the flowers of this plant,[1][2][3] as devised by the Medieval witch Ignatia Wildsmith.[4]
History
- "The main ingredient in Floo Powder is Floo. What a surprise!"
- — Nymphadora Tonks[src]
In Great Britain, a single company, Floo-Pow, was licenced to make Floo Powder in the country, and that the composition of its product was a "closely guarded secret" no one had managed to figure out. However, there were numerous attempts at creating homemade Floo powder called "Faux Floo", which caused injuries, much to the annoyance of Healers at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[5]
During the 1990–1991 school year, whilst Jacob's sibling was analysing samples of Faux Floo in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for St Mungo's, Penny Haywood gave them a question on what was the only known ingredient of Floo Powder, the answer being Floo. Professor Pomona Sprout also taught her seventh-year Herbology students about this herb that same school year.[3]
