The Self-Stirring Cauldron was an enchanted type of cauldron invented by Gaspard Shingleton[1] in the late 20th century. These cauldrons magically stirred potions on their own.[5] It was considered a modern invention in the evolution of cauldrons,[3] and they were sold in cauldron shops since at least 1991.[2]
History[]
- "Celebrated inventor of the Self-Stirring Cauldron."
- — Gaspard Shingleton's Chocolate Frog Card[src]
Jacob's sibling was of the opinion that Professor Severus Snape would never resort to using a Self-Stirring Cauldron, due to his effortless talent with brewing potions in class.[4]
Harry Potter first glimpsed Self-Stirring Cauldrons when he bought his school supplies during a visit to Diagon Alley in 1991.
The 1992 History of Magic first year exam covered the topic of "batty old wizards" who invented Self-Stirring Cauldrons.[6]
