One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi was a textbook used in Potions and Herbology classes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was written by the Herbologist and Hogwarts Headmistress Phyllida Spore, and, as its name implies, covers a thousand different varieties of herbs and fungi found in the magical world.

A copy of this book costs two Galleons at Flourish and Blotts.^[1] It was one of the required texts for first year students in Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

• In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, when Harry buys the book, it is titled One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, but later in the same book, Harry is mentioned looking up 'dittany' in One Hundred Magical Herbs and Fungi. This error, not found in the U.S. text, is corrected in later editions.^[4]
• In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this book has a blueish cover, but in Pottermore the cover is green.
