Description
Herbology is a course dedicated to the study of magical and mundane plants, particularly for medicinal purposes. Though some of the plants studied in herbology are used in potions, many have magical properties in their own right, and some are even sentient beings. Students must exercise great caution as some of these plants can be quite dangerous. One Thousand Magical Herbs And Fungi by Phyllida Spore is the required textbook for this course. Herbology is currently taught by Professor Pomona Sprout in the Hogwarts Greenhouses.
