The Trio Discusses Their Plan to Brew the Polyjuice Potion

PAGES: 165-166

After reviewing the Polyjuice Potion recipe, the trio discusses the difficulties involved in brewing the potion, especially acquiring certain rare ingredients from Professor Snape's private stores. Despite Harry and Ron's initial hesitation, Hermione convinces them to move forward with the plan, even though it will take a month to complete. Ron humorously suggests that it would be easier if Harry could simply knock Draco Malfoy off his broom during the upcoming Quidditch match.
