Potions

Potions is a class taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from years 1-7. It is considered mandatory for years 1-5, but only students with high scores on their OWLs are allowed to take NEWT-level Potions classes.

Potions is one of the most widespread remaining practical applications of ritual in modern wizarding society, with inspiration and ramifications stretching into history, herbology, arithmancy, and even astronomy.
