Polyjuice - The Polyjuice Potion changes the look of a person to that of another one (chosen by adding some part of them to the potion). It can be taken for any amount of time, but one dose will last for one hour.

Felix Felicis - a lucky potion, this golden liquid will bring success and confidence to the drinker as long as its dose lasts. Understandably, Felix Felicis is banned at organised competitions; it although shouldn't be consumed excessively or in large doses, as this leads to serious side effects.

Bubotuber - a plant looking like a giant black slug with many large swellings on it. Those are filled with yellow-green pus which is smelling like petrol and will raise painful boils when coming into contact with human skin when it's undiluted. If it's diluted and processed in the right way, however, it can be used to cure acne.
