Day 3 of Pottermore’s 12 days of Christmas shares new info on cauldrons and potions!

Day 3 of Pottermore’s 12 days of Christmas gave fans another riddle from J.K. Rowling to solve stating;

"His potions lessons are full of interesting things.
With students keen to see what each day will bring.
With his large moustache and rotund shape.
Who teaches this class after Professor Snape?"

The newest riddle's answer is "Professor Slughorn". When entering this answer fans were brought to the Potion's classroom. After clicking around for the extra content you'll find two short stories on cauldrons and potions.


Look inside the full article to read the extra content released by author J.K. Rowling on these two items.





Below you can read excerpts of the new material. For the full material head over to Pottermore and solve the riddle!


Cauldrons:

"All cauldrons are enchanted to make them lighter to carry, as they are most commonly made of pewter or iron. Modern inventions include the self-stirring and collapsible varieties of cauldron, and pots of precious metal are also available for the specialist, or the show-off."

Potions:

"Some potions duplicate the effects of spells and charms, but a few (for instance, the Polyjuice Potion, and Felix Felicis) have effects impossible to achieve any other way. Generally speaking, witches and wizards favour whichever method they find easiest, or most satisfying, to produce their chosen end. 

The popular idea of a Potions expert within the wizarding community is of a brooding, slow-burning personality: Snape, in fact, conforms perfectly to the stereotype."
