"Snape had given them so much homework, Harry thought he was likely to be in the sixth year before he finished it. Ron was just saying he wished he had asked Hermione how many rat tails you were supposed to add to a Hair-Raising Potion when an angry outburst from the floor above reached their ears."
— Description.[src]

The Hair-Raising Potion was a potion that caused the drinker's hair to stand on end.[1][2][3]

History[]

"Today you will be attempting to brew a Hair-Raising Potion. However, for most of you, simply viewing your marks in this class will likely produce a similar effect. If you talk during my demonstration, you're in for more than a bad hair day."
— Professor Snape to fifth-year students[src]
Hair-Rising Potion

A Hogwarts student under the influence of this potion

During the 1988–1989 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Severus Snape taught his fifth-years how to concoct this particular brew in Potions class.[2]

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley had to complete a homework assignment which involved this potion in their second year, in early 1993, set by Professor Snape for Potions.[1]

The first Potions lesson for first-year students in the 2008–2009 school year was brewing this potion.[4]
