Love potions have been a staple of Muggle belief in magic, as long as we have had the concept of love, probably. The need to have someone love you back, and the hope that there would be some magic technique to make that happen, is all too human. Writing a series of books about magic, then, almost requires that love potions be mentioned, and a series such as this one, where the characters are maturing to the stage where love occurs, probably need more than a mention.
 
In this series, then, we see mention of Amortentia, and we also see that love potions, probably including Amortentia, take a small role in the series. It is in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 27|''Harry Potter and the Half-BloodGoblet Princeof Fire'']], the sixthfourth book in the series, that we first hear of them, in a story by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rita Skeeter|Rita Skeeter]] in which she suggests Hermione is using love potions to keep both Harry and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Viktor Krum|Viktor Krum]] "on a string." However, it is not until the sixth book, ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'', that our protagonists are really old enough to care about romance, and it is possibly because of this that this is also the first book where they are used. An important distinction is drawn immediately by Hermione, who points out that so-called love potions do not create love, but only infatuation; presumably this is why their use is so limited.
 
In the series, then, we first see Amortentia, described as the strongest of the love potions, in Harry's first Potions class. We then hear that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Merope Gaunt|Merope Gaunt]] had probably used a love potion on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Riddle Sr.|Tom Riddle]] to get him to marry her, and had given birth to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Marvolo Riddle|Tom Marvolo Riddle]] as a result. There is some abstract discussion of love potions in the run-up to the Slug Club Christmas party, with Hermione warning Harry that several girls, notably [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Romilda Vane|Romilda Vane]], had apparently purchased love potions from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes|Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]]. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] samples some of the Chocolate Cauldrons that Romilda had given Harry, and becomes infatuated with her, proving that she had spiked them with love potion. Except for the first instance, in which the potion is explicitly named, we do not know whether any of the other instances are actually Amortentia, though we do know that Hermione identifying it as the "strongest" implies that there are at least a few other love potions available.
