We all dream of participating in a lesson at Hogwarts as a wizarding student. And which magical plant from the Herbology class is most familiar to us?
Exactly, the Mandrake. It is a magical plant that is very difficult to grow. A mature Mandrake, also colloquially known as Mandragora, can be processed into an antidote to heal evil curses and spells. However, repotting it is anything but entertaining. Because as soon as it is uprooted, the inconspicuous potion plant transforms into a hideous screaming monster that looks like a hideous baby. To escape the screams of the mandrakes, one should definitely wear headphones, as they can lead to unconsciousness or even death. It is not for nothing that it is also called „Satan’s apple“ in Arabic. Nevertheless, we are more than grateful that the noisy potted plant brought us back almost headless Nick and Hermione, among others.
The plush version of the mandrake, however, is a little more harmless. The leaves and flower stems of the cuddly plant protrude from the pot. As soon as the mandrake is pulled out, it starts (at quite tolerable volume) to scream and resists uprooting in the form of vigorous shaking. So far, no one has been harmed while repotting the fluffy version.
And as hideous and gruesome as J. K. Rowling has described the mandrake in her works, we don’t find it that bad. Because actually, it looks pretty cute and lovable and fits in perfectly at home among the green indoor plants. Also, you don’t have to be an experienced herbologist like Professor Sprout to grow the mandrake, as it is also perfectly suitable for the inexperienced hobby gardeners among us.
Choking hazard.
