Changes: Potions Classroom

Revision as of 18:20, 5 January 2015

The Potions Classroom is where Potions classes are taught. The classroom used to be squared-sized, very large, with large tables and windows. In the corner resides a stone basin used to wash students' hands and ladles. From 1992-onwards, the classroom was of an oval shape and relatively smaller, with small work tables. In 1996, the classroom was extended, adding space for more work tables.

Curriculum and classroom activities

From 1981 to 1996, Severus Snape was the Potions master. The syllabus included the Boil-Cure Potion, Forgetfulness Potion, Swelling Solution, Hair-Raising Potion, Shrinking Solution, Antidotes, Wit-Sharpening Potion, Draught of Peace, Strengthening Solution
In the 1996–1997 school year, Horace Slughorn is made the Potions master. The students learnt about Everlasting Elixirs, Felix Felicis, Amortentia, Polyjuice Potion, among others.

Behind the scenes

For the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, scenes in this room were filmed in the Sacristy at Lacock Abbey (in Lacock, Wiltshire, England). The high windows were partially obscured while filming, to suggest an underground location (which the Sacristy is not). For Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Potions classroom was filmed in a set, at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, that had been formerly used as the room in which Fluffy guarded the trapdoor to the Underground Chambers (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) and Severus Snape's office (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).
