If the porcupine quills are added before the cauldron is taken off the fire, the mixture produces clouds of acid green smoke and a loud hissing, melts the cauldron, and burns holes in people's shoes. If touched by this potion in this state, they will sprout unpleasant red boils.

[ingredients: unknown]


Draught of Living Death
Causes someone to fall into a deep sleep. Studied in 6th year at Hogwarts.
Instructions for brewing this potion can be found in Advanced Potion-Making starting on page 10, but the textbook's uncorrected instructions do not cover the most effective way of squeezing the juice out of the sopophorous beans (crushing with the flat side of a silver dagger rather than cutting) and do not indicate that a clockwise stir should be added after every seventh counter-clockwise stir. While brewing, the potion releases blue steam. The ideal halfway stage should be of a blackcurrant colour (deep purple), although at a later stage if stirred properly the potion will turn a light shade of lilac and then, eventually, "clear as water".
[ingredients: asphodel in an infusion of wormwood, valerian roots, sopophorous bean]


Draught of Peace
Calms anxiety and soothes agitation. Studied in 5th year at Hogwarts, where it is OWL standard.
[ingredients: includes powdered moonstone and syrup of hellebore]


[E]


Elixir of Life
The Elixir of Life extends life, but requires that the drinker consume it regularly for all eternity if the drinker is to maintain his or her immortality.
Nicolas Flamel and his wife lived over 650 years by drinking Elixir of Life. Someone dependent on the Elixir can die if the supply runs out (for instance, if the Philosopher's Stone being used to make it is stolen or destroyed) or if the supply of Elixir is contaminated.
[ingredients: unknown, but it is derived from the Philosopher's Stone]


Euphoria, an Elixir to Induce
Induces euphoria in the drinker, with occasional side effects of excessive singing and nose-tweaking.
When correctly made, the potion is sunshine-yellow (appropriate, being a colour suggestive of cheerfulness).
[ingredients: unknown includes a sprig of peppermint in the Half-Blood Prince's version, but we don't know that. ]


Everlasting Elixirs
Effect: unknown, but from the name, the effect may be 'everlasting'
[ingredients: unknown]


[F]


Felix Felicis
cure for the bite of a Mackled Malaclaw, a creature of the shore and coastline, resembling a lobster. The Malaclaw's bite gives the victim bad luck for up to a week .
Until the effects wear off, all the drinker's endeavours will tend to succeed. Once consumed, the potion gives the drinker an exhilarating sense of confidence and a tremendous sense of opportunity. However, if taken in excess the potion causes giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence, and it is highly toxic in large quantities.
Colour of molten gold; while exposed to air large drops will leap like goldfish above the surface without spilling. A "miniscule" glass bottle can contain enough Felix Felicis to last 12 hours. The potion is a banned substance in organized competitions such as sporting events, examinations, or elections. Desperately tricky to make and disastrous to get wrong.
[ingredients: unknown]


Fire Protection Potion
Protects the drinker from being burned by magical (and probably regular) fire.
[ingredients: unknown]


Forgetfulness Potion
Effect: makes a person forget things. This is on the exam for first years at Hogwarts.
[ingredients: unknown]


[G]


Gregory's Unctuous Unction
Invented by Gregory the Smarmy, this potion persuades the drinker that the giver is his/her very best friend. "Unctuous" means flattering and friendly in an oily, slimy sort of way.
[ingredients: unknown]
