- "A common garden plant that is known to bite or attack if not taken care of. Its fangs are used in many simple potions and in cooking."
- — Description on seed packet at Dogweed and Deathcap[src]
A Fanged Geranium was a magical flower with sharp teeth.[1][5] Its fangs were used as potion ingredients, as well as in wizarding foodstuffs.[4]
They were also an ingredient in the Strength Potion,[6][7] as well as in Skele-Gro.[6] Fanged Geranium seeds were sold at Dogweed and Deathcap and Bewildering Blooms.[4][8]
History[]
- "They had their Herbology exam on Wednesday (other than a small bite from a Fanged Geranium, Harry felt he had done reasonably well)..."
- — The Herbology O.W.L. exam in 1996[src]
This plant was covered in fifth-year Herbology lessons in the 1988–1989 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[3]
This was one of the plants covered in 1996 as a part of the O.W.L. practical for Herbology at Hogwarts. Harry Potter received a minor bite from one during his exam.[1]
There was widespread historical speculation that the Muggle War of the Roses actually started with wizarding neighbours arguing over a Fanged Geranium.[9]
Fanged Geraniums were mentioned in an advertisement for the Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots radio show that was printed in Rumours!. The ad copy asked, "Fanged Geranium nothing but gums?"[5]
