Revision as of 17:40, 5 July 2011

"Point me!"
This article is about the Earth's natural satellite. You may be looking for the Hogwarts student of same surname.

Lupin-boggart — Remus Lupin's boggart taking a shape of a full moon.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System. The moon's phases and substances are very useful in the wizarding world.

Potions

Moondew is a magical substance extracted from the moon, persumably used in potions. Its properties were discovered in medieval times by druidess Cliodna. Also, the phases of the Moon influence the making of potions, as studied by Hesper Starky.

Diseases

It was believed by medieval Healers that taking the liver of a toad, binding it tight about the victim's throat and standing naked by the full moon in a barrel of eels' eyes would cure spattergroit. Persons infected with lycantrophy will transform into a terrible beast if exposed to the full moon's rays.
