"Erumpent horns, tails, and the Exploding Fluid are all used in potions, though classified Class B Tradeable Materials."
Newton Scamander[src]

Exploding Fluid was a magical substance found in the horn of the Erumpent. It caused anything that was impregnated with it to explode. It was highly valued as a potion ingredient, and was listed as a Class B Tradeable Material.[1]

History[]

In the 1986–1987 school year, Exploding Fluid was one of the ingredients found on the shelves in the Potions Classroom by Jacob's sibling, Pieter Talli, and Penny Haywood.[3]

On 30 December 1997, an Erumpent horn in the Lovegood House was struck by a stray Stunning Spell cast by Xenophilius Lovegood aimed the trio, whilst his house was being ambushed by Death Eaters. This caused the fluid inside to explode, causing significant damage to the dwelling.[2]

In the 2010s, a bottle of Exploding Fluid was carelessly stored inside the British Auror Office storage room.[4]
