The sting of the Billywig caused giddiness, followed by floating.[3][4] Dried billywig stings were used as ingredients in multiple potions,[3] including the Antidote to Uncommon Poisons[4] and the Wideye Potion.[1] It was also rumoured to be an ingredient in the popular sweet Fizzing Whizzbees.[3] The stings produced a slime, which was also used in potion-making.[6][7]

There existed an antidote to Billywig stings that would relieve the effects of being stung by one.[5]

History[]

Billywig stings were stored in the cellar of Honeydukes in 1890. Garreth Weasley asked his friend to steal a batch for a concoction he wanted to invent.[8]

Behind the scenes[]

  • In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, this ingredient was featured in Beta testing for the game, but it along with other ingredients and potions were cut from the final edit and were not released in the game.
