"... and, as you can see, combine to form the Antidote to Uncommon Poisons. Which can be administered to cure such things as the venomous bite of a Doxy."

— Professor Snape

The Antidote to Uncommon Poisons was a potion that cured minor magical or uncommon poisons such as Doxy bites, which were highly venomous. The ingredients required were fire seeds, graphorn horn, billywig stings and chizpurfle carapaces.

History

Third-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were taught to brew this in December 1993; they were required to collect the ingredients for homework and mix them together in the following lesson. This was the only thing that marred the third-years' Christmas spirits.

Behind the scenes
