History[]
- "Take your seats. Today we will be brewing Essence of Insanity. I shouldn't have to tell you not to consume this potion... But the baffling behaviour of some of you makes me think you already have. Pay attention. We will begin with a lecture on Essence of Insanity."
- — Professor Snape to sixth-year Potions students[src]
Considered "exceedingly dangerous", the brewing of this potion was taught to sixth-years in the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts, by Professor Severus Snape in Potions class.[2]
On 21 April 1997, Ron Weasley sarcastically suggested Harry Potter took this potion after Harry consumed Felix Felicis, as he felt his friend was behaving erratically.[1]
