- "Would magic carrots make my hair redder? I should ask Professor Sprout."
- — A Hogwarts girl in Herbology[src]
The carrot is a root vegetable, typically orange in colour, though other hues such as purple, black, red, white, and yellow existed.[1]
Varieties and uses[]
Magic carrots were a variety of carrot that could supposedly make a person's hair redder.[2] Carrot Wands were a type of novelty wand that could still cast spells properly.[3][4]
History[]
In the 19th century, The Magic Neep sold carrots of various colours.[5]
Coloured carrots at The Magic Neep
Rubeus Hagrid grew carrots in his garden on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During the 1988–1989 school year, Penny Haywood and Murphy McNully fed some of these carrots to an adolescent Jackalope to attempt to get it to stop digging holes in the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch, but this only seemed to give the Jackalope more energy.[6]
Carrots were served as part of the Start-of-Term Feast at Hogwarts in 1991[7] and at the Leaving Feast of 1993.[8] On 2 September 1993, Hermione Granger slammed her Arithmancy textbook down on the table angrily when Ron Weasley suggested she did not like Divination because she was bad at it, scattering pieces of meat and carrot from the stew he was eating.[9]
Harry Potter regarded the prospect of having to subsist on the same diet food as Dudley Dursley over the summer of 1994 as being "expected to survive [...] on carrot sticks."[10] A gnome bit Fred Weasley on the ankle while he was picking carrots for Christmas dinner at The Burrow in 1996.[11]
Sometime in the 2010s, during a period when snow covered the grounds of Hogwarts, Daniel Page, Kevin Farrell, Robyn Thistlethwaite, Lottie Turner, and Ivy Warrington built a snowman decorated with branches for arms, stones for a face, and a carrot for a nose.[12]
