Herbology Lesson: Repotting Mandrakes

PAGES: 91-94

In Greenhouse Three, Pomona Sprout teaches the class how to repot Mandrakes. Hermione Granger impresses the class with her knowledge of Mandrakes and earns points for Gryffindor. The class is instructed to wear earmuffs to protect themselves from the Mandrakes' cry, which can knock them unconscious. Harry struggles with repotting the squirming Mandrakes, and the lesson is both physically and mentally exhausting for the students.
