Changes: Antidote

Revision as of 20:19, 7 September 2019

Warning!

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Spoilers will be present within the article.

An antidote is a substance, generally a potion, that will protect against or act as a remedy for specific ailments. Sometimes time is all that is needed for certain magical effect to wear off, such as in the case of Polyjuice Potion, but others require a special application to counteract such effects.

The Mandrake forms an essential part of most antidotes.^[1]

Antidote to Veritaserum: Disables the effects of Veritaserum.
Ashwinder eggs: Cures Malaria.
Bezoar: The stone from the stomach of a goat which cures most poisons.
Blood-Replenishing Potion: Replenishes blood loss after injury.
Bruise removal paste: Heals bruising.
Bubotuber pus: Cures persistent acne.
Burn-healing paste: Heals burns.
Cure for Boils: Heals boils and skin eruptions. Also counteracts the Furnunculus Curse.
Deflating Draught: Reverses swelling caused by spells, stings or other magical causes for inflation such as the effects of the Swelling Solution.
Dittany: Heals wounds and regrows skin.
Draught of Peace: Gives the drinker a feeling of peace and well-being, but if overdone it can put the drinker into a deep or even irreversible sleep.
Dreamless Sleep Potion: Temporarily calms emotional trauma.
Dr Ubbly's Oblivious Unction: While the specific effects are unknown, this tincture seems to lessen mental or emotional scarring.
Elixir to Induce Euphoria: Temporarily lessens the effects of depression.
Glumbumble treacle: Counteracts the hysteria caused by eating Alihotsy leaves.
Hiccupping Solution: Cures hiccups.
Love Potion Antidote: Counteracts a Love Potion.
Mandrake Restorative Draught: Cures petrification.
Memory Potion: Restores memory or the ability to remember.
Mimbulus Mimbletonia: Cures shyness.
Murtlap Essence: A home remedy for cuts and abrasions.
Pepperup Potion: Cures the common cold or flu.
Phoenix tears: Like the bezoar, these tears can heal most fatal ailments.
Skele-Gro: Heals and mends broken bones, as well as regrows missing bones.
Sleeping Draught: Cures insomnia.
Ten-Second Pimple Vanisher: Removes facial blemishes.
Wiggenweld Potion: Reverses the effect of the Draught of Living Death.
Wolfsbane Potion: Temporarily lessens the effect of lycanthropy.
Wound-Healing Potion: Closes and heals open wounds.

Behind the scenes

According to W.O.M.B.A.T., it may be impossible to cure poison without the correct antidote.
Although Love Potions' effects wear off over time if not continuously applied, an antidote exists for it nevertheless.
Hate Potions cancel out the effects of Love Potions and vice versa, hence they are an antidote to each other.
There is a sign at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries reading "Antidotes are anti-don'ts unless approved by a qualified Healer."
Antidotes are essential study for Aurors.^[2]
