grandhighwizardFor 3rd years, due Friday:
- Describe the historical uses of Amortentia in regards to politics in the 14th and 15th centuries. Chose one particular incident to focus on. What might have been different in European history had this philter never been invented? What has the so-called selfless emotion of love destroyed? Include a discussion on the difference between “real” love and induced affection.
For 5th and 6th years:
- The Mirthful Elixir is seldom used in modern Potions, but enjoyed a brief vogue in the 17th century. Describe the historical rise and fall of this potion, and how it influenced culture. How might induced laughter and humor be used today to benefit humanity? To harm it?
For 7th years
- The Confusing Concoction is an often over-looked potion, with many potential uses. Detail one unorthodox usage of this draught, bonus points for an original application. It is said that the mind should always be clear, but what might be the benefits of scrambled thoughts and a view of reality turned on its head? Discuss.
At least 20 inches. Any questions may be directed here, or addressed to me after class.
