'''''Polyjuice Potion''''' allows the taker to assume the physical appearance of another person. The potion takes a month to brew, and must include part of the person you wish to look like.

Finally, it is used extensively by Harry, Ron, and Hermione in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']] when they need to disguise themselves. It is used first by Mad-Eye Moody to create six replicas of Harry as a way of confusing the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]] who are trying to stop his departure from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|the Dursleys']]. It is then used by Harry to disguise himself as "Cousin Barny" at the wedding of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bill Weasley|Bill]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fleur Delacour|Fleur]]. Harry, Ron, and Hermione use it to enter [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|the Ministry]], and Hermione uses it to enter [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Gringotts|Gringotts]] disguised as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix Lestrange]].

 

 

It must be extremely useful to appear to be someone else. The potion is remarkably comprehensive in its actions; the false Moody, transformed by the potion, is missing an eye and a leg, and these grow back when he is deprived of the potion. In fact, one assumes they must grow back each night, as the effects of the potion last only an hour. One must question whether the suppressed limb must be exercised to avoid it atrophying... did the false Moody have to exercise each day in his normal shape to avoid the effects of nine months without moving the suppressed leg?

The process of changing to a new shape by means of the potion is described as being quite painful, while the reversion to original self is so painless that neither Ron nor Harry notices it happening in themselves. As the false Moody was not apparently in pain when he drank from his hip flask (which contained, apparently, the Polyjuice Potion that retained his appearance), we can assume that it is the process of changing that is painful; maintenance in the unnatural shape should be much less so.
