History[]
- "Today you will learn how to prepare Rat Tonic... Those of you with pet rats will need to pay close attention to how this potion is brewed. With this potion, your rodent may live long enough to see you do something right."
- — Professor Snape teaching seventh-years this potion[src]
During the 1990–1991 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, seventh-year students were taught how to brew Rat Tonic in Potions class by Professor Severus Snape.[3]
A bottle of Rat Tonic
In the summer of 1993, in Diagon Alley, when Ron Weasley took his pet rat Scabbers to the Magical Menagerie because he looked ill, the witch behind the counter suggested Rat Tonic. Before Ron could pay, Scabbers was attacked and chased out of the shop by Crookshanks. Ron and Harry Potter followed. Hermione Granger stayed at the shop to buy Crookshanks and the Rat Tonic, which she later passed on to Ron.[1]
Superlative Rat Tonic was presumably a more powerful form of Rat Tonic that was also sold in the Magical Menagerie.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the Game Boy Advance version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry must go into the Leaky Cauldron's cellar to find some rat tonic for Ron. When he finds it, he also finds a rat that has become engorged from over-consumption of the tonic, and must fight it in order to get what remains for Ron.[2]
