Chapter 1: Antidote to Common Potions

Chapter 2: Cure for Boils

The Cure for Boils (also known as simply Boil Cure) is a potion which cures boils, even those produced by the Pimple Jinx. It is an elementary potion taught to first year students at Hogwarts. When brewing the potion, the cauldron must be taken off the fire before adding the porcupine quills, or, as Neville Longbottom found out, the cauldron will melt and create a horrid odour, and if it spills will cause the skin to erupt in vicious boils. If the potion is made successfully, there will be pink smoke raising from the cauldron.

How to Brew this Potion:

Add 6 snake fangs to the mortar.
Crush into a fine powder using the pestle.
Add 4 measures of the crushed fangs to your cauldron.
Heat the mixture to 250 for 10 seconds.
Wave your wand.
Leave to brew and return in 33-45 minutes.
Add 4 horned slugs to your cauldron.
Take the cauldron off the fire before adding the next ingredient.[1]
Add 2 porcupine quills to your cauldron.
Stir 5 times, clockwise.
Wave your wand to complete the potion

Chapter 3: Forgetfulness Potion
The Forgetfulness Potion is a potion which causes an unknown degree of memory loss in the drinker. Its key ingredients include Lethe River Water, mistletoe berries, and Valerian sprigs. Professor Severus Snape had his first-year students brew this potion for their final exams in 1992.

How to Brew this Potion:

Add 2 drops of Lethe River Water to your cauldron
Gently heat for 20 seconds
Add 2 Valerian sprigs to your cauldron

Add 2 pinches of the crushed mixture to your cauldron
Stir 5 times, anti-clockwise
Wave your wand to complete the potion

Chapter 4: Herbicide Potion
Herbicide Potion (or simply Herbicide) is a potion that kills or damages plants. It has a disgusting taste and is not for human consumption since it may affect the drinker's health. The recipe for this potion can be found in Magical Drafts and Potions. Its key ingredients are Flobberworm mucus, Horklump juice, and Lionfish spines.

Add 2 blobs of Flobberworm mucus to your cauldron while it's still on the heat
Stir 4 times, clockwise
Wave your wand to complete the potion

Chapter 5: Sleeping Draught
The Sleeping Draught was a potion that caused the drinker to fall almost instantaneously into a deep but temporary sleep. A standard Sleeping Draught differed from the Draught of Living Death, which was much more powerful, lasting, and difficult to make. Hermione Granger referred to the Sleeping Draught as "simple, but powerful". Key ingredients of the Sleeping Draught included Flobberworm Mucus, lavender, and valerian sprigs.

How to Brew this Potion:

Add 4 sprigs of Lavender to the mortar
Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to the mortar
Crush into a creamy paste using the pestle
Add 2 blobs of Flobberworm Mucus to your cauldron
Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to your cauldron
Gently heat for 30 seconds
Add 3 measures of the crushed mixture to your cauldron
Wave your wand
Leave to brew and return in 70 minutes(time depends on cauldron)
Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to your cauldron
Heat on a high temperature for 1 minute
Add 4 Valerian Sprigs to your cauldron
Stir 7 times, clockwise
Wave your wand to complete the potion

Chapter 6: Swelling Solution
The Swelling Solution is a potion which causes whatever it touches to swell in size; its three key ingredients (the only ingredients in it) are bat spleens, dried nettles, and puffer-fish eyes. The trio decided to steal some ingredients for the polyjuice potion from their potions teacher's private stores in their second year the day the class tried to make this potion. Harry Potter set off one of his fireworks as a diversion for Hermione Granger to get the necessary ingredients; whether intentionally or accidentally, the firework landed in Gregory Goyle's cauldron, causing the solution to explode across the class, causing the inflammation of various body parts; those splashed had to go to the professor for a Deflating Draught.

How to Brew this Potion:

Add two scoops of dried nettles to the mortar
Add three puffer-fish eyes to the mortar
Crush into a medium-fine powder
Add two measures of the crushed mix to your cauldron
Heat on a medium temperature for twenty seconds
Wave your wand
Leave to brew and return in 60 minutes
Add one bat spleen to the cauldron
Stir four times, anti-clockwise
Heat to low for thirty seconds
Wave your wand to complete the potion

Chapter 7: Wideye Potion
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 concussions. It acted as an antidote for the Draught of Living Death. Its key ingredients include dried billywig stings, snake fangs, and wolfsbane.

How to Brew this Potion:

Add 6 Snake fangs to the mortar
Add 4 measures of Standard Ingredient to the mortar
Add 6 Dried Billywig Stings to your cauldron
Heat on a medium temperature for 30 seconds
Finely crush the ingredients in the mortar
Add 4 measures of the crushed ingredients to your cauldron
Stir 3 times, clockwise
Wave your wand
Leave to brew and return in 95 minutes
Add 2 sprigs of Wolfsbane to your cauldron
Stir 3 times, anti-clockwise
Wave your wand to complete the potion

Chapter 8: Further Information
Moonstone (also known as the wishing stone) is a gemstone of medium value. Moonstones are a milky colour and shine very brightly, almost as though they are a source of their own light. They are a useful potion ingredient; powdered moonstones are used as an ingredient for the Draught of Peace and in several Love Potions. Powdered Moonstone is also an ingredient in in Potion No. 86 which is likely an experimental potion. In 1995, Severus Snape forced Harry Potter to write twelve inches of parchment on the properties of Moonstone and its usage in potion-making. Moonstones were also known to be among the gems set into Muriel's tiara.
