Potions

“I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even put a stopper on death”

— Professor Severus Snape

I miss Harry Potter. We became fans around the time book two was out, so we were fairly early to the party, and what a party it was. While it was satisfying to see the series wrapped up, not having that next book to look forward to made me a bit sad. This scene from Snape's infamous potions class by builder CheeseyStudios brings back a lot of fond memories, both from my imagination and from the movies. It's packed with details and I highly recommend clicking through for a peek at the larger pictures, it's worth it.

Occlumency

No, Harry doesn't have remedial potions (despite what you've heard). He is being taught the art of occlumency, the blocking of one's own mind from external forces. Professor Snape has reluctantly accepted this task, and so far Harry's not doing so well. I don't think I've ever seen so many diverse bottles and vessels together in such a small space as in this MOC by Vaionaut. Snape certainly keeps his shelves well stocked.
