zanooda:

It was Luna, not Hermione, who said that. When Harry & Co. entered 
the room, Luna thought the things in the tank were "aquavirius 
maggots" IIRC or something like that. She heard from her father that 
the Ministry was breeding them. Then Hermione had a look at the 
objects and said they were brains. I don't have the book with me to 
give you a quote, but it should be right there in "The Department of 
Mysteries" chapter.

zanooda, pretty sure that she remembers it correctly :-)
