The berry of the mistletoe is small, white, and waxy.^[1] It is used as an ingredient in potions, including the Antidote to Common Poisons and the Forgetfulness Potion.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

• The use of mistletoe berries as an ingredient in the Antidote to Common Poisons is ironic: the non-berry parts of the mistletoe plant are extremely poisonous, causing intense stomach pain,^[3] diarrhea,^[3] low pulse,^[3] visual disturbances,^[4] and convulsions^[4] if eaten. However, the berries are considered "relatively non-toxic" if only a small amount are ingested, but can cause stomach upset when eaten in larger quantities.^[4]

AppearancesEdit

• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (video game)
• Pottermore
