bboy_mn:
Draught of Living Death is real. It's mentioned in
Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone during the very first potion lesson.
---SS/PS AM PB pg 170---
"Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered
root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
"I don't know, sir," said Harry
...yada yada yada...
"For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping
potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. ..."
---end quote---
Perhaps, we will actually get a chance to see 'The Draught of Living
Death' before the story ends.
Just a thought
