"Hey, here's some Puffapods. They're great fun to throw about. I hear they make trolls sneeze, too."
Ron Weasley on Puffapods[src]

A Puffapod was a magical plant that produced large pink seedpods full of shining beans, which instantly flowered when they came into contact with any solid object.[1][3][2]

Description[]

The spores of a Puffapod could cause dizziness,[3] and could also be used in potion-making.[4] Trolls appeared to be allergic to Puffapods, sneezing whenever they bloomed.[5]

History[]

Puffapods could be found growing in Rubeus Hagrid's garden.[4] The Puffapod patch in the Forgotten Grounds at Hogwarts also contained growing Puffapods.[5]

During the 1988–1989 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Pomona Sprout taught fifth-year students how to handle Puffapods in Herbology class.[2]

In October of 1993 at Hogwarts, Ronald Weasley accidentally dropped some of these beans onto the floor of the greenhouse they were working in for a third year Herbology class and they instantly bloomed, earning him Professor Sprout's disapproval.[1]

In the 2010–2011 school year, a Hogwarts student visited the shop Bewildering Blooms in Hogsmeade. The owner, Yubert Thorne offered to give them his only remaining Puffapod for free. The plant was kept in the corner to help customers avoid bumping into it and causing it to bloom prematurely. It already looked dead. They asked Professor Longbottom for help so they could learn how to revive it.[6]
