The TERRIFYING Truth About Love Potions in Harry Potter (THEORY)

When navigating the Wizarding World through the perspective of a Muggle, there are a lot of things that might raise a few eyebrows.

Some in a morally dubious sense—and others simply because of how unbelievably astonishing they are.

But in my view, there is perhaps nothing more sinister or baffling than the notion of a love potion (and that’s quite a statement given what’s out there)

Think about it: it’s a potion that you give to someone… and it makes them fall INVOLUNTARILY in love with you.

For just a second- consider the power you could have over someone with this- one sip from a potion and they’re infatuated with you. And all of this only feels even more bizarre when you consider the fact that we’re CONSTANTLY reminded of how POWERFUL the force of love truly is in the Wizarding World.

Yet… somehow, love can be bottled and sold? Like a trinket on a shop shelf in Diagon Alley.

Today we’re going to be taking a closer look at LOVE potions in Harry Potter. HOW they’re allowed to exist, HOW they work, and even a few theories on Why I think they might not be QUITE what we think they are- ONE of which involves the Weasley twins.

Let’s dive in.
