Montavilla47:

Are you mad, Alla? Nonsense?

At a 3% accident rate, that's 360 accidents a year, just in 
the classroom, to say nothing of the accidents that take place 
in homes, apothecary shops, hospitals, and factories.

Thank goodness Percy is there to stem the tide.

Liz:
Great reply Montavilla. To me this is the same as all regulations 
in the science industry. Your point was a brilliant one: Imagine 
in our world flasks that weren't thick enough, couldn't withstand 
heat. Same thing. Disaster. 

Also, some potions (felix, polyjuice, etc) take a long time to 
brew. The cauldron would melt away. Resulting in a major loss 
to the pocketbook, not to mention time and effort.
