"If you have brewed it correctly, then the results should be most interesting. That was worth all the effort. You can go now."
Severus Snape dismisses his class after Harry Potter takes this potion.[src]

This potion is learnt in first year Potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Once drunk, the potion temporarily turns the drinker's head into a pumpkin.[1]

In order to brew this potion, one has to crush the Flitterby Moth into a pulp and add it to the cauldron, then stirr the mixture clockwise until it turns green. Next, the Bouncing Bulb has to be ground with a mortar and added to the cauldron. The mixture has to be stirred counterclockwise until it turns red before slicing the foxglove and, too, add it to the mixture. Stirring clockwise until it turns orange completes the potion.[1]

Behind the scenes

  • This potion's effects bear a resemblance to the effects of the Melofors spell.
