Pottermore brewing potions where is my wand

The truth is that Harry Potter has been finished. It pains me to say it. The magic is gone, folks. It was never really there. Personal Journal. My Happy Tunes Music Playlist.

Potions are magical mixtures commonly brewed in cauldrons and used to create various effects on the drinker. A wizard or witch who specialises in potion brewing is known as a potioneer. Potions are brewed from ingredients with magical properties. Potions can be used as medicine, lethal poison, or give the drinker any effect from strength enhancement to immunity to flames.

Potions are not necessarily used by drinking, as some can be applied by physical contact or creates an effect simply by being created. On the most recently update, difficulty levels for potion-brewing has been added. If you use a Pewter Cauldron, the difficulty level will be "Easy", the Brass Cauldron's difficulty level is "Medium" and the Copper Cauldron's difficulty level is "Hard".

The Potions class is taught in the Potions Classroom. Once you have the right ingredients you can begin to brew potions. Successfully brewed potions can be given to your friends as gifts, or kept for self-use, and you'll also be awarded house points for your efforts. You will lose house points for badly-brewed potions , so follow the instructions carefully. Before you brew a real potion, you can practise making Cure for Boils and you won't win or lose any house points for trying, even if you succeed.

When following the instructions given to you in your book, students must follow the instructions in the order given. Example: If the book says heat your cauldron and then crush ingredients in your mortar , students are required to do it in that order.

Do people still use kitchen timers? Results are the same for all potions, whether if it is a Sleeping Draught or Cure for Boils. However, points awarded for potions are now different. See next section. Recently, the scoring system has changed and successful attempts no longer always award 5 House Points. Pay attention to the animation of your ingredients falling into your cauldron. Whenever you add something, it takes a moment for it to fall into your cauldron — Yes I know, common sense tells you that they should just plop right in, not disintegrate into tiny pieces and descend gently.

Best to keep track of the little counter next to your cauldron before moving on to the next step. You can also check your potion book and ensure that it has been crossed out.

Also note that some ingredients are handled in multiple quantities — For example, you will always take 3x snake fangs. Hence, if a recipe requires 6 snake fangs, you should only take it twice 3 fangs, 2 servings.

You have three buttons. Pay attention to the thermometer next to your cauldron, especially the marked out zones. You cannot allow the heat level to go beyond this zone. For some challenging potions, you will need to alternate between the Blue and Orange buttons to keep the level stable within the small safe zone. You will not lose your ingredients and will simply start off in the first stage.

I can no longer suggest doing this — it has been patched recently and using the back button will deplete ingredients in your inventory. I have lost quite a few brews because of some technical issues, probably because my Pottermore login cookie expired BUT the Potions game does not know and still allows me to continue.

The game might glitch up and reset your potion back to the first phase, or worse, you might be stuck in serious glitch where Pottermore still thinks that you have a potion brewing! So I recommend the following:. I would say Cure for Boils , if you want to keep things simple and gain house points easily. It has very few steps and does not involve precise control over the cauldron temperature.

Also, it takes only 80 minutes to brew to the second phase. It will cost 4 Galleons to get enough ingredients 36 brews, using complimentary Horned Slugs found in Chapter It is still the cheapest potion to brew, but the other potions, such as the Sleeping Draught might be better if you want to gain house points quickly. The wand is located at the bottom-right corner of the table, below the Potion recipe book.

It is sometimes obscured by ingredients. Before starting anything, take a look at your Potion book. Notice that each potion has 3 key ingredients. Then, take a look at your ingredient inventory here and look at how the key ingredients look like.

Be familiar with them so that when you brew the potion, you know exactly what is on your table. Potions may be the only activity you can keep on playing on Pottermore, but do pay attention to your expenditure! I would like to thank my readers and Pottermore fans who commented and contributed very useful information: Dwight, Patrick, Blah Master, and Minerva.

Great post! I find the best potion to brew is the Wideye potion personally, but helpful post nonetheless! Add me, ChaserWing18! What does the wolfsbane look like in the wideye potion? Is the bone-like thing wolfsbane? Wolfsbane looks like a bunch of purple flowers. It only appears in the second phase after waiting for 95 minutes.

It is the bone like thing. If you look on the left side of your potion book there is a pic of each ingredient. I prefer Sleeping Draught myself it yields a hig score and when u know all the steps its not that hard to make. I agree. And it is easier to do the more you do it. When I first started making it, it seemed like all I was doing was failing.

You just have to keep brewing, despite your failures. Yes, I agree with Sarah; I think the Wideye is the easiest for the amount of points you get. Or maybe the Forgetfulness Potion. And I love your blog in general. I love the amount of details you go into…you write so beautifully. Can you add the option to your blog where we subscribe via e-mail? That way, whenever you put up a new post it notifies us in our emails??

Wish I read it before buying the 25g gallions. Hi Dejiki, thanks for collating all the information on Potions! Some of these are really useful.

I got very frustrated when the ingredients kept falling into the cauldron as I passed them over to the mortar! Glad the tips were helpful! I think they have changed the points system. I just brewed a Forgetfulness Potion successfully, and it awarded me 9 house points. A revisit on the house points at least might be in order. Thanks for the heads up, I have made a new section about points in this entry. How can I brew potions again? This is one of the infamous potions glitch.

It says. What happens when you click the message? Does it bring you to the Potions game screen? It brings me back to Cauldrons page, but nothing changes. If you are stuck in Phase 1, I suggest that you make a minor mistake with your brew and get 1 house point for effort so that the game would purge that potion session out of the game. It happened to me too today I tried to brew Wideye, waited for 95 minutes and when I get back, it showed me the steps of Phase 1!!! So frustrating!

I just wasted many precious galleons!!! I have a question with regards to waiting for the potions to brew till the second page. Does that mean I have to have that window open for 80 minutes? You do not have to. The active cauldron will be shown and there is even a progress bar to inform you about its status.

Sorry another question. What happens if you put down bottles sideways when you finish using them… wherein they keep spilling on the table? I used to have the problem with it not taking me to the second phase. I have a slow computer. On slow computers, heating up your material actually behaves differently than on a fast one. With a pewter cauldron, I need to alternate on the red and orange buttons to keep the temperature in range, instead of alternating on the orange and blue.

The temperature only goes up on red, and drops semi-briskly on orange. You do keep the ingredients but you have to wait for the potion to brew again. In that case, I would never recommend a Copper cauldron to users with slow computers.

Thanks for pointing that out. You can click on this link too. Awesome stuff! When I was making the Wideye Potion, I spilled some dried billywig stings when I laid it back down on the table. The cauldron exploded after I waved my wand. Did the spill affect my brewing? The game does leave a message stating what went wrong — do you still remember what it said?

Hi Dejiki, Thank you very much for this blog. When I click on the button below the cauldron, the site brings me back to making the same potion, as if nothing happened. The second time I followed your instructions and let it brew on a separate window, too. It did remove ingredients from my account, though, for both potions. Unfortunately this is not a problem with your browser, but with the Pottermore server. I would suggest waiting for Pottermore to go into maintenance mode — usually that would clear and reset all Potion sessions in most situations.

Hi Dejiki, Thank you for your very fast :-! More patience, and more frowning when I try again, and again, and again.. I tested this out on purpose.
