The author’s research obsession has struck again.
How can you write fanfiction about a professor who’s passionate about Potions without learning a little about Potions yourself?
A complete guide to the known potions in the Harry Potter universe.
Sources: the English edition of the Harry Potter Wiki.
(Covers the original books, films, and games.)
Entries are sorted alphabetically by potion name.
Each entry includes:
English name.
Chinese name.
Appearance (color and state); difficulty level.
Effects.
Inventor or origin.
Known ingredients.
(If unknown, the information is unavailable.)
Also included:
A Chinese-English glossary of potion ingredients.
Potions covered in Years One through Six.
Other facts about Potions (including books, people, tools, and apothecaries).
The main text is complete, though there may be a few minor revisions and additions.
Thoughts:
1. Potions really is similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but unlike Chinese medicine, which mainly uses herbs, potions draw on plants and animals in roughly equal measure. If you’re going to study this subject, prepare yourself to handle all kinds of insects and organs.
2. The Malfoy family really does have a potion-related business, though the only one known is a wine brand.
3. Apothecaries are concentrated in Diagon Alley, and most have been in business for a thousand years.
Theme: Brewing potions is a precise science and a rigorous craft.
Wow wow wow, so awesome! By the way, I asked my wife if she could sort out the snacks in my HP (chocolate jumping frog, lemon sorbet, etc.). Thank you so much! Very helpful!
In fact, I really hope Rowling can create a complete set of Hogwarts textbooks so that I can refer to them more conveniently emmm
Lethe River? Is it the one I thought of? Or is it a translation problem?
How can you see that the known materials are incomplete?
That's great, I'm going to take a notebook and write it down.
