I thought Amortentia was illegal?

I mean I'm obviously wrong about that but it probably should be.

I think giving it to someone without their consent is illegal? But I guess you could say that about a lot of potions?

Then they should just make it illegal completely. Someone explained it to me and yeah it doesn't sound like anything anyone should use or give to anyone or anything.

But it was fun getting to smell it and hear what other people's Amortentia smelled like to them!

It's strange, isn't it? Wizards seem to have a fairly lax attitude towards love potions, even when they acknowledge that love potions can be dangerous. Is it because the effects aren't "real"?

Anyway, as I understand it... Amortentia isn't illegal, but giving someone a potion without their consent or knowledge is. Mr. Elmasry seemed to be taking great care to make sure no one walked off with a sample.

There are kind of a lot of things I don't really get about wizarding stuff but I don't take potions so I don't know.

Did he do pat downs? Or whatever magical pat downs would be. That's probably opening a whole can of worms even saying that. You know what I mean.

In of itself and for educational purposes, it isn't.

That said -- I think ou're right, for sure. It should be a class of Unforgivable, to be honest. Following certain logic.

Like if that one spell where you can control someone completely is illegal isn't this just as bad? If not a little worse? I just don't get it.

You think Elmasry would have us brew something illegal?

...ok, maybe. He's pretty chill. Then again he's probably too chill to start an illegal potions ring using schoolchildren. OR IS HE?

I mean I don't know, I don't take potions, so it's probably none of my business anyways.

[. . .] I think there's actually a no-maj TV show kind of like that.

I think it's a bit weird, definitely.

Like - it's sort of morally wobbly to be teaching teenagers how to potentially roofie each other? Not that I would want to! Just [...] It's not really the sort of thing you'd be allowed to learn in chemistry lab at high school back home?

Yeah exactly that's what I was thinking too. We're getting this buddy system thing because we can't be trusted but we're letting students be taught about this really shady potion and how to make it? It's just weird is all I'm saying.

Yep.

I mean I'm not even going to just smell it like everyone is. It's just a lot of worry for something I don't really care about.
