- "The Wiggentree is a magical rowan that will protect anyone touching its trunk from the attack of Dark creatures."
- — One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi[src]
The Wiggentree was a magical rowan. Its bark was used in potion-making (namely the Wiggenweld Potion) as well as its twigs, and was guarded by Bowtruckles. Anyone who touched the trunk of one of these trees would be protected from Dark creatures as long as they are doing so.[1]
History[]
Before the 1890–1891 school year at Hogwarts, an unnamed wizard who taught Herbology before Professor Garlick cut into a Wiggentree that had a Bowtruckle living in its leaves. The Bowtruckle attacked him and damaged his eyes.[4]
During the 1987–1988 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, fourth-year Herbology students were taught about handling Wiggentree by Professor Pomona Sprout.[3]
Mathilda Grimblehawk and her partner investigated an incident when Muggle construction workers attempted to chop down a Wiggentree and were attacked by Bowtruckles. They later found and planted a Wiggentree sapling near the original.[5]
Etymology[]
- See also: Rowan#Etymology and Wiggenweld Potion#Etymology
The Wiggentree likely borrows its name from one of the numerous folknames for rowan: 'wickentree'. Rowan trees have quite a long history of associations with the protection against evil.
