- "Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,
Two of us will help you, whichever you would find,
One among us seven will let you move ahead,
Another will transport the drinker back instead." - — The riddle[src]
The Fire Protection Potion,[2] also known as the Ice Potion,[3] is a potion used to move through flames unscathed. When drunk, it induces a sensation of ice and frigidity in the drinker, and provides protection from most magical fires.
History
In the 1985-1986 school year, the Fire Protection Potion was taught to second years by Professor Severus Snape in Potions.[4]
Severus Snape brew this potion in September of 1991 as part of his protection of the Philosopher's Stone[5]. Quirinus Quirrell and Harry Potter later each took this potion in order to get past the flames and into the deepest room of Underground Chambers, containing the Mirror of Erised and Philosopher's Stone. It is presumed Albus Dumbledore also used this potion to bypass the black flames and enter the room containing the Mirror to save Harry from Quirrell.
Recipe
- Slice bursting mushrooms with knife, add to cauldron and stir clockwise until potion turns blue.
- Add salamander blood to cauldron, stir anti-clockwise until potion turns green.
- Crush Wartcap powder in pestle, add to cauldron and stir clockwise until potion turns red.
Behind the scenes
- Given that every potion requires a magical component to complete the brewing process, the most likely spell needed to complete this potion is the Flame-Freezing Charm.
