== Overview ==
Dòng 17:
This potion is mentioned by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]]'s first-ever Potions lesson. Snape asks Harry what he would get if he were to mix the root of Asphodel and an infusion of Wormwood; Harry, of course, cannot answer.
 
It is mentioned again in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']]. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]]'s first NEWT Potions class, the class members are called upon to produce the Draught of Living Death. At this point we find that this potion also contains sopophorous bean juice and chopped valerian root, probably among other ingredients.
 
We do not, of course, learn the full set of ingredients for the Draught at any point. We do learn that the standard instructions do not produce as effective a Draught as is possible. Harry finds that the marginal comments in his textbook specify alterations to the standard formulas. Changes to the Draught of Living Death include crushing the sopophorous bean rather than cutting it, and stirring once clockwise after every seven times counter-clockwise, rather than continuously counter-clockwise. Following the marginal instructions results in Harry getting better results than [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], who is of course following the book's instructions precisely.
To make the potion is very hard. Though the ingredients are quite simple, making it isn't. A. Add Chopped Valerian Roots, B. then add the juice of a sophophorous bean. C. Stir counter-clockwise (x7). D. Then stir clockwise (x1). Repeat steps B. and C. (x2) to turn the potion clear as water.
 
== Analysis ==
 
In the American edition of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 27|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]], reasoning with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]], says that if Draco chooses to abandon the mission he has been given, Dumbledore can protect him and his family, by making it seem that they are all dead, if necessary. One wonders whether the Draught of Living Death, or some derivative of it, would be involved in such a ruse.
