Love Potion

Love Potions can be added to food or drink and can strengthen the longer they're kept. There is a wide range of them.

Polyjuice Potion
Polyjuice Potion is used to transform a person into the physical form of another person for one hour. The final ingredient in this potion is a piece (hairs are the most convenient) of the person that the potion-taker will transform into. The final color and taste of the potion depends on the person who is being imitated. While expert potieneers say that Polyjuice Potion is designed solely for humans, and is thus unusable upon those whom aren't entirely human such as half-giants.The potion must not be used to transform into a non-human animal - that ability can only be learned through hard study of transfigurations and contamination of the Polyjuice Potion causes horrendous partial animal transformations which cannot be easily reversed. This potion contains knotwood, bicorn horn and boomslang skin.
The name is a portmanteau of polymorph (indicating shape-change) and juice (indicating that it is indeed a liquid).

Because some wizards can resist the effects of Veritaserum, this potion is said to be an "unfair and unreliable tool to use at a trial".[2]The name comes from the Latin veritas ("truth") plus serum.
