Looking into the Crystal Ball 3: Potions


I've been meaning to post this for a while, so spoilers abound!

The potion above is Pottermore showing us love potion. Now, unlike skelegrow, the dreamless sleep potion or the aging potion we know of, this is under the images file for potions. This has also been in the assets list for quite a while on Pottermore, and is something that has yet to be truly delivered on.

To go over the basic ingredients, according to the Harry Potter wiki, we have two of the ingredients, with peppermint and rose thorns, while others will have things like ash winder eggs and moonstone. The latter two might be a bit difficult to come by in future chapters, though ashwinder eggs are more likely to appear than not, and moonstone may be showing up by the seventh book during a Gringotts breaking, but aside from that it's hard to guess when it may appear.

Another potion that has yet to be revealed is the Draught of Living death. Another book 6 potion, and this one seems even stranger. Given the books involve the use of sloth brains, its unlikely that the potion will be put into play till book 6, when such a thing may be collectable, but the draught could occur sooner if they omit sloth brains and instead leave it to infusion of wormwood, asphodel, and valerian. That would keep it in line with other potions thus far.

However, I do believe that these potions, along with a possible drop in by felix felicis will take after the polyjuice potion in execution, with a part one "finish" and a part two finish.

As a quick run-down, we also have a strengthening and shrinking solution teased for sometime in the near future, but neither has been found in asset form, and it is rather strange still as two potions that aren't prominently featured till book 6 have been around for a while, and other potions have been kept under lock and key, with no new potion since book 2.

So what do you think? What are you looking forward to brewing?
