Boomslang skin, lacewing flies, and a piece of your "target"… yes, really!

Not just toss-and-stir! Polyjuice takes 30 days of precise brewing. One mistake? Disaster!

You need something from the person — usually hair. Use the wrong one? Say hello to disaster!

It lasts 1 hour. Perfect for sneaky missions. But if the potion’s unstable… chaos ensues!

From becoming animals to incomplete changes — the fails are legendary (and painful)!
