Libatius Borage was a South American[2] wizard, widely considered "one of the world's most famous potioneers".[3] In his youth, he attended the wizarding school of Castelobruxo, in Brazil.[3]
Among his many published works are Advanced Potion-Making, Asiatic Anti-Venoms and Have Yourself a Fiesta in a Bottle![3] — the first and second of which are used at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as a textbook for N.E.W.T.-level classes,[4] and as a reference text for O.W.L.-level classes,[5] respectively.
Despite Borage's accomplishments, Hogwarts Potions Master Severus Snape seemed to be more adept at potion-making than even him, adding many footnotes to his own copy edition of Borage's book, significantly improving it.
Etymology
