- "You may be more familiar with the bean that this plant produces! I am in fact talking about the Sopophorous Plant! Let's begin. Allow me to explain the magnificence of the Sopophorous Plant."
- — Professor Pomona Sprout regarding this plant to her sixth-year Herbology students[src]
The Sopophorous plant was a rare magical plant that sprouted in gloomy marshlands, especially if fertilised by Mooncalf dung.[1]
Description[]
The Sopophorous plant had a spindly stem and large leaves with developed vascular tissue, which had a reddish tint. By the leaves grew bean pods, containing a single pearly-white bean that resembled an overgrown mistletoe berry. Sopophorous Beans had powerful magical properties, and were used in potion-making.[1]
History[]
Jacob's sibling watering a Sopophorous plant in Herbology
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Pomona Sprout taught sixth-year Herbology students about how to properly handle and cultivate Sopophorous plants.[2] Sprout later taught seventh-year students in the 1990–1991 school year about how to specifically handle the beans of the plant.[3]
In the 1996–1997 school year, sixth-year N.E.W.T.-level students used Sopophorous Beans in the Draught of Living Death in their first Potions lesson of the year with Professor Slughorn.[4]
