there's also a plant
called dragon's blood which has had medical uses since the time of the
ancient Greeks.

==================
Sherrie here:

It's also used to make magickal inks and incense. Spells written in
dragon's blood ink are supposed to have enhanced power. You can get dragon's
blood
at nearly any magickal supply store, most of which also sell the ink.

If I weren't so lazy, I'd dig out my Cunningham's and list ALL the uses of
dragon's blood. Not sure how many there are offhand, but it's more than one.


It does NOT, however, make a very good oven cleaner...

Jeremiah:

Well, the Wiccan/Pagan use of "Dragon's Blood" and the fictitious workd if
HP are probably not the same thing. I'm assuming JKR is speaking of actual
blood from a dragon since Hargid used the dragon meat for his eye in OotP
and there's talk of dragon liver and other stuff.

So, I assume the plant that is called "dragon(s) blood" and RKR's dragon's
blood aren't the same. And we still have to find out what the 12 uses are
since Hermione was to have studied them 1st of 2nd year.
