The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

— Description of the effects of chocolate[src]

Chocolate is a sweetened confectionery that was available in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds. In the case of the latter, it also had special properties, depending on the brand.[1]

Not only did it make a wonderful treat for the consumer, it served as a powerful and excellent antidote for the chilling, cold effect produced by contact with Dementors.[1][2]

History

On 31 July 1991 in Diagon Alley, while they were shopping for Harry Potter's school supplies, Rubeus Hagrid bought Harry ice creams that had chocolate as one of the flavours.[3]

Remus Lupin carried chocolate with him on the Hogwarts Express in 1993, and gave Harry Potter some after the latter was attacked by a Dementor. When Madam Pomfrey heard that Remus Lupin had given Harry chocolate after his encounter with the Dementor, she nodded approvingly and stated that "So we've finally got a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who knows his remedies."[1]

Pomfrey herself used a large chunk of Honeydukes chocolate in the Hospital Wing to treat Harry Potter and Hermione Granger after they and Sirius Black were attacked by several Dementors in 1994. Harry Potter later commented that he never wanted to eat a piece of chocolate for a while afterwards, as he apparently has grown sick of it for a while.[4]

Participants who fought against Dementors' siege of Hogwarts in the 2010–2011 school year ate chocolates as remedies.[5]

Behind the scenes

  • It is possible that chocolate is used to ward off the effects following meeting a Dementor as it has chemicals inside it that stimulate the release of endorphins, which are chemicals produced by the body to combat stress and pain; often leading to feeling of increased happiness.
  • Chocolate presents no danger to werewolves, despite the well known fact that chocolate is poisonous to canines, showing that the human form of the Werewolf has traits that carry over into the wolf form aside from the more human eyes. Ironically, Remus Lupin is noted for his borderline addiction to chocolate.
