- "Well, there are Switching Spells… but what's the point of Switching it? Unless you swapped its fangs for wine-gums or something that would make it less dangerous…"
- — Hermione Granger suggests Switching Spells to deal with the dragon of the first task of the Triwizard Tournament[src]
Wine-gums are chewy, firm pastille-type sweets similar to gumdrops without the sugar coating.[1]
History[]
In 1994, Hermione Granger idly suggested that Harry Potter might use Switching Spells to replace the fangs of the dragon of the first task of the Triwizard Tournament with wine-gums, but rejected the idea as impractical because as a rule it was nearly impossible to cast a spell through a dragon's hide.[2]
