P- Pepperup Potion: This relieves the symptoms of colds and flu, although it doesn’t seem to actually provide a cure. It has the side-effect of causing steam to come out of the drinker’s ears for several hours after imbibing it.
- Photograph Developing Fluid: Even though Colin Creevey has a Muggle camera, he was told that he could still produce wizard-style moving photographs by developing them in the correct fluid.
- Polyjuice Potion: Ingredients: Fluxweed, Horn of bicorn, Knotgrass, Lacewing flies, Leeches and Skin of boomslang. This potion allows the drinker to assume the appearance of another person. The effect lasts for an hour, but as Bartemius Crouch Jr showed when impersonating Alastor Moody, repeat doses can be taken indefinitely. In addition to the standard ingredients listed, this potion also requires a part of the person you want to assume the appearance of. The fluxweed has to be picked at full moon, and the lacewing flies stewed for 21 days before the potion is made.
- Protection Potion (Fake): Ingredients: Bubotuber Pus and Gravy. Following the return of Voldemort, a vast market appeared for protective potions, most of which were fake and did nothing. Small-time crooks like Mundungus Fletcher sold them to the frightened hordes, who apparently didn't notice that they were often made out of gravy.

S- Scintillating Potion: Effect unknown. However, one satisfied customer of the Kwikspell course happily wrote to tell them that their recipe for this potion was now in great demand. [CS8]
- Shrinking Potion: Ingredients: Caterpillar, Daisy roots, Leech juice, Rat spleen, Shrivelfig. This a an acid green potion which is on the third year syllabus. Snape uses it to turn Neville’s toad into a tadpole; it is unclear whether the potion makes things simply reduce in size, or actually reduce in age.
- Skele-Gro: This causes lost bones to re-grow, which is a slow and painful process. Harry only had his arm bones removed because of Lockhart’s incompetence; it seems unlikely that under other circumstances Skele-Gro has to be used very often.
- Seekeazy's Hair Potion: This is used to calm down problem hair so it can be styled. Hermione used liberal amounts of it when she went to the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum.
- Sleeping Draught/Potion: Causes the drinker to fall asleep. A standard Sleeping Draught differs from the Draught of Living Death, which is a much more powerful version.
- Strengthening Solution: Ingredients: Pomegranate juice and Salamander blood. Effect unknown, but presumably this potion makes the drinker stronger. It could, however, be designed for inanimate objects if the potion was intended to be applied to them. Harry made this potion (very badly) in a 5th year class whilst Snape was being assessed by Umbridge. Umbridge disapproved of teaching this particular potion to the students, and Snape took very little notice of her. [OP17]
- Swelling Solution: Causes whatever it touches to swell up in size.

T- Ten Second Pimple Vanisher: This comes in a small pink pot and is excellent on anything from boils to blackheads. It is sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.

V- Veritaserum: A powerful truth potion. It is used to make the drinker answer any questions put to them truthfully. Use is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic.

W- Wiggenweld Potion: Leticia Somnolens was a spiteful hag who was jealous of the king’s daughter and caused her to prick her finger on a spindle tainted with a Draught of the Living Death. A young wizard smeared his lips with Wiggenweld Potion, kissed the princess, and brought her out of her trance.
- Wit-Sharpening Potion: Ingredients: Scarab beetles, Ginger roots, Armadillo bile. The effect of this is not known, although it is likely to involve sharpening the wit of the drinker (in other words, making them able to think better).
- Wolfsbane Potion: A new and complex potion, this relieves the symptoms of lycanthropy (although it does not cure it). If the affected person drinks the potion at full moon, they transform only into a normal wolf (and retain control over their actions) rather than bloodthirsty out-of-control werewolf.
- Wound-Healing Potion: This is a smoking purple liquid which heals and closes open wounds. Madam Pomfrey uses it on Harry when he has been injured during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament.
