The more complex and expensive potion recipes award more points and naturally, the easier ones award less now. Make sure that you have purchased all the required books for your second year at Hogwarts.
Refer to your Shopping List for help. Get the books that are still not crossed out. You will find potion ingredients just by exploring the scenes in Pottermore. You get a house point too if it is your first time discovering the ingredient. Please make the effort to find them yourself! Note: You need to be logged into Pottermore for these links to work. After using or giving it away , one of them will not reappear on the scenes.
For a full list of prices and exact locations of free ingredients, refer to this very useful post on tumblr. Yes, but the game it set in a way that you will definitely need to buy an ingredient from the Apothecary at Diagon Alley. Refer to the link above and spend your Galleons wisely. Cauldrons differ in the amount of time needed to heat up and brew.
This means your cauldron choice will affect how difficult it is to keep the temperature within a certain range.
A copper cauldron may be quick to warm up but it also means that temperature will be harder to control. Whether if it is the simple Pewter, Copper or Brass, it will all take the same waiting time to brew until Pottermore makes the necessary changes. In a recent update however, brewing time is affected by cauldron type. See next section for details.
You can leave your cauldron for a maximum of twice the time it takes to brew a potion. Once a potion is ready to move onto the second phase, a second timer that is as long as time to brew will start counting down. For example, if Cure for Boils takes 40 minutes to brew, you can return after 40 minutes, but not after 80 minutes.
You will fail to brew your potion correctly, but you will not lose or gain any points. You get to keep your cauldron too. Use a mobile phone, or something with that function. Do people still use kitchen timers? Results are the same for all potions, whether if it is a Sleeping Draught or Cure for Boils. However, points awarded for potions are now different.
See next section. Recently, the scoring system has changed and successful attempts no longer always award 5 House Points. Pay attention to the animation of your ingredients falling into your cauldron. Whenever you add something, it takes a moment for it to fall into your cauldron — Yes I know, common sense tells you that they should just plop right in, not disintegrate into tiny pieces and descend gently. Best to keep track of the little counter next to your cauldron before moving on to the next step.
You can also check your potion book and ensure that it has been crossed out. Also note that some ingredients are handled in multiple quantities — For example, you will always take 3x snake fangs.
Hence, if a recipe requires 6 snake fangs, you should only take it twice 3 fangs, 2 servings. You have three buttons. Pay attention to the thermometer next to your cauldron, especially the marked out zones. You cannot allow the heat level to go beyond this zone. For some challenging potions, you will need to alternate between the Blue and Orange buttons to keep the level stable within the small safe zone. You will not lose your ingredients and will simply start off in the first stage.
I can no longer suggest doing this — it has been patched recently and using the back button will deplete ingredients in your inventory. I have lost quite a few brews because of some technical issues, probably because my Pottermore login cookie expired BUT the Potions game does not know and still allows me to continue. The game might glitch up and reset your potion back to the first phase, or worse, you might be stuck in serious glitch where Pottermore still thinks that you have a potion brewing!
So I recommend the following:. I would say Cure for Boils , if you want to keep things simple and gain house points easily. It has very few steps and does not involve precise control over the cauldron temperature. Also, it takes only 80 minutes to brew to the second phase. It will cost 4 Galleons to get enough ingredients 36 brews, using complimentary Horned Slugs found in Chapter It is still the cheapest potion to brew, but the other potions, such as the Sleeping Draught might be better if you want to gain house points quickly.
The wand is located at the bottom-right corner of the table, below the Potion recipe book. It is sometimes obscured by ingredients. Before starting anything, take a look at your Potion book. Notice that each potion has 3 key ingredients. Then, take a look at your ingredient inventory here and look at how the key ingredients look like.
Be familiar with them so that when you brew the potion, you know exactly what is on your table. Potions may be the only activity you can keep on playing on Pottermore, but do pay attention to your expenditure! I would like to thank my readers and Pottermore fans who commented and contributed very useful information: Dwight, Patrick, Blah Master, and Minerva. Rowling, retrieved from Pottermore.
Rowling certainly does not want the Harry Potter popularity to wane — even after the extraordinary success of the film series and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Her latest project, Pottermore , is an online experience developed with Sony. The website was described as an extension to the 7-book series, providing not just new supplementary reading materials, but also an almost immersive world for fans to role-play in.
