Possibly not. There's a reference very early on in PS/SS where Harry goes
through Hagrid's pockets and finds that (among other things) they contain
slug pellets.

Though I've always wondered whether the shop in Knockturn sells a repellent
that eats the flesh of slugs, or one that repels slugs that eat flesh...

Possibly a non-English speaking list member could oblige here?
