- "Fairly hazardous, quite deadly, yes... Standards haven't slipped, I'm pleased to see. It's just as perilous a potioneering prize as ever."
- — Zygmunt Budge commenting on the modern Wizarding Schools Potions Championship[src]
The Wizarding Schools Potions Championship[2] was a competition held in a certain enchanted garden. It challenged up-and-coming potioneers from different wizarding schools to prove their Potion-making skills by overcoming various challenges in the garden by brewing various potions. The champions must be at age seventeen to be qualified to compete. The grand prize was a Gold Cauldron and the privilege to display their potioneering talents before the assembled crowd.[1]
History[]
The Wizarding Schools Potions Championship had been held every seven years since 1407, in honour of Quintia McQuoid, a memorable potioneer who untimely lost her life to an improperly-brewed cure for ague.[3]
One winner of the event was a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry student, who used Zygmunt Budge's Book of Potions to assist them in the various tasks. Others who competed against this potioneer were a Russian Koldovstoretz student, a Japanese Mahoutokoro student, and an African Uagadou student.[1]
