Harry Potter: 10 Magical Potions With CRAZY Effects

2. Pompion Potion

Effect: Transforms the user's head into a pumpkin.

Seen In: LEGO Harry Potter.

Transfiguration is one of the primary subjects taught to Hogwarts students, and once mastered, it allows witches and wizards to transform objects into other objects.

In the Chamber of Secrets movie, we see Professor McGonagall turn a bird into a water goblet using the Vera Verto spell, for example, but wand-magic isn't the only way for wizards to utilise the unusual power of Transfiguration.

In the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 video game, players are tasked with whipping up a batch of the Pompion Potion for Professor Snape, and if successful, a swig of the orange-coloured goop will turn Harry's noggin into an actual pumpkin.

All we can say is, we're glad that such a disturbing sight wasn't filmed and placed into one of the movies, because while this is all cutesy and fun in LEGO form, it would probably result in some spooky nightmares if depicted in a more realistic setting.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
