Urine is a liquid product of the body that is excreted through the urethra in order to get rid of unwanted or unneeded substances in the bloodstream.[2]
According to an alchemical work dating back to the 1550s, urine is used in the making of the perfect medicine, along with salt, vinegar, Sal Ammoniac and a particular Sulphur Vive.[1][3]
On 31 October 1992, Hermione Granger said that it was awful trying to have a pee with Moaning Myrtle wailing at you in her bathroom.[4]
Though its exact flavour varies on the person to be transformed into, on the whole, Alastor Moody expressed the opinion that the Polyjuice Potion tasted like "goblin piss".[5]
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it was listed as an ingredient in a recipe for the Polyjuice Potion. Pottermore, however, presented a recipe that did not include it, being in-line only with the ingredients listed in the original Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets novel.
