Alzheimer's disease).

•
If the user is intending to drink the potion themselves, or is making the potion for a specific
person, by adding hair from the intended drinker's head will double the strength of the
potion.
–
in generic potions from apothecaries, this ingredient is not added, so potions bought will be less
potent .
•
This potion doubles as an antidote for the Forgetfulness potion

It should be a bright golden colour, but will
appear to be giving off a small amount of blue
steam.

It should have a thin consistency, like a light
soup.

A successful potion will smell faintly like
butterbeer and should not contain any lumps or be
giving off thick smoke.
