- — Description[src]
Moste Potente Potions was a book by Phineas Bourne[1] that gave instructions on how to brew advanced potions. The book was described has having gruesome potions listed inside.
Contents

Moste Potente Potions contained recipes for many dangerous, controversial, and arcane potions, which required advanced skill in potion-making to brew. Gruesome illustrations showed the effects of such potions. The Hogwarts Library accordingly kept its copy of this book in the Restricted Section.
Two potions known to be included in the book were Polyjuice Potion and Laxative Potion. It may have also contained information on slow-acting venoms, but this is uncertain.
History
Hermione Granger brewing Polyjuice Potion.
In 1992, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley planned to sneak into the Slytherin common room in order to investigate the mystery of Slytherin's Heir, and needed to make Polyjuice Potion so they could disguise themselves as Slytherin students.
Hermione obtained a permission slip to check Moste Potente Potions out of the Restricted Section from Gilderoy Lockhart, claiming that the book contained information on slow-acting venoms that she thought might help her understand what Lockhart had written on this subject in Gadding with Ghouls.
Hermione then spent one month brewing the Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle's lavatory, using ingredients stolen from Professor Snape's stores.

- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the book was found in the regular section of the library.
A picture from "Moste Potente Potions".
- Also in the book, there is a picture (Figure VII) of a woman with a grotesquely large spider on her head, almost worn like an ornament. Whether or not this is an effect of a potion is unknown.
