Revision as of 03:52, 29 August 2015

Firenze: "Harry Potter, do you know what unicorn blood is used for?"

Harry: "No. We've only used the horn and tail hair in Potions."

— Firenze asks Harry Potter a very serious question.^[src]

Unicorn hair was a magical substance with a variety of uses, originating on the body of a unicorn but frequently being shedded.

Unicorn tail hairs are used in potions, though their exact uses and properties are unknown^[1]. This was commented on by Harry Potter during conversation with Firenze^[1].
Rubeus Hagrid found that unicorn hairs could be used to bind bandages.
Unicorn hair can be used in wandmaking; they produce the most consistent magic, least subject to fluctuations and blockages, most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts and the most faithful of wands^[2]. However, they do not make the most powerful of wands and are prone to melancholy if mishandled^[2]. Garrick Ollivander made wands with unicorn hairs.
