"Eyes open. Today we will be learning to brew Wideye Potion. Wideye Potion has many practical uses, so long as you do not abuse it. Come and see how it is made."
— Snape introducing this potion to students[src]

The Wideye Potion, also known as the Awakening Potion, was a potion which prevented the drinker from falling asleep and could also be used to awaken someone from drugging or concussion.[1] It acted as an antidote for the Draught of Living Death.[3] Its recipe could be found in Magical Drafts and Potions.[1]

History[]

During the 1986–1987 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Severus Snape taught his third-years how to concoct this particular brew in Potions class.[2]

During the 1988–1989 school year, Jacob's sibling, with Penny Haywood looking on, brewed this concoction in the Artefact Room so as to use it to stay up late cramming some Potions revision as well as to practice brewing this potion for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels that year.[4]
