Tea leaves 1 — The Grim in Harry Potter's cup.

"Well, Harry's got a wonky sort of cross -- that's trials and suffering. But this here could be the sun -- that's happiness. So... you're going to suffer but you're going to be happy about it."

— Ron Weasley reading Harry Potter's tea leaves

Tessomancy is the art of reading tea leaves to predict events in the future. Tessomancy is taught as part of the Divination course at Hogwarts.
