Pottermore Brewing Potions Tips

I know that for the first-timers, it’s damn difficult to brew potions. But once you’ve mastered this skill, brewing will soon become a very easy task.

If you want to earn more House Points, I suggest you follow this, witches.

  • Timer starts once you closed the instruction book, so understand the instructions fully first.
  • Note the illustration for each ingredient in the instruction. It’s easier to memorize them.
  • If you want to save time looking back and forth to instructions, write them down on a paper. (Example write 1 and draw a unicorn horn. Then write “Mortar” if you need to put it into mortar.)
  • Act fast.
  • Hold bottles carefully so the contents won’t spill. (You must have a good control over your computer mouse)
  • Pay attention to the number appearing while putting an ingredient to your cauldron or mortar. You cannot subtract the excess ingredient you’ve already put.
  • While crushing using the mortar, keep clicking the mortar until the level is already between the lower and upper lines of the red-that-turns into green thing (I don’t know what it’s called. Just remember, it’s the measurement). Do not let it turn red. You know it’s correct when it’s green.
  • The same is true while heating. Heat must be within/between the upper and lower lines in the measurement. HINT: Use the controls below the cauldron. Red for heavy fire and Orange for weak flame. WARNING: The temperature keeps rising even if you’re not clicking the red or orange anymore. So you must Click Blue button to stop it from further rising. The temperature will now decrease, but don’t let it fall under the lower line. Start again the fire when it’s few millimeters above the lower line. This is the trickiest part. You have to maintain the correct level of the temperature by clicking the Orange and Blue button again and again.
  • Come back on time or else your potion won’t work and you will lose House Points!

ADDITIONAL TIP:
Hold the lavender vertically and drop it at the center of the mortar.
