## If you’re often wishing you were someone else, you’d take some Polyjuice Potion 

Who doesn’t want to be Dumbledore for a day? Or indeed, anyone that perhaps you’d like to live the life of, even if just for a short time. If you’re an aspirational person, always looking to others for inspiration, we can absolutely see you brewing up some Polyjuice Potion. So, it may be a little ‘complex and time consuming’ to make, but it would definitely be worth it to walk in another’s shoes, or in Hermione’s case, walking in someone else’s paws... (a reminder: cat hair in Polyjuice Potion is *not* recommended). 

## If you’re a brilliant bookworm, you’d love some extra time with the Elixir of Life 

There’s just not enough hours in the day, is there? But there is a certain concoction that could help you get a lot more done. Created using the Philosopher’s Stone, Nicholas Flamel lived to be over 600 with the help of the Elixir of Life. Now, people would use this extra time for many reasons – but if you’re a Hermione-esque bookworm wishing you had way more time to read, this would be perfect for you and your quest for self-education. Plenty of time to take extra classes and make a serious dent in the nearest library.  

## If you’re a restless sleeper – try Madam Pomfrey’s Potion for Dreamless Sleep 

If you struggle to switch off at night, or are plagued with the strangest of dreams, there is a handy potion that makes sleeping far more straight-forward. Madam Pomfrey prescribed this potion to Harry after the awful events of the Triwizard Tournament – for Harry was susceptible to many disconcerting nightmares. 

There are other potions used for sleeping – such as the Draught of Living Death, but seeing as nobody has figured out how to wake someone up from it yet, we’d advise staying well clear of this concoction. 

## If you’re the “that’s just my luck” type, you’d drink Felix Felicis. 

Whether you regularly get caught in the rain, lose things, or could just use a lucky break, this liquid gold solution is all you need to put things right. Just a few drops and, like Harry, you’ll find yourself in the right place at the right time – though we hope that doesn’t include Aragog’s funeral. We’re still coming to terms with that one. 

Of course, as Ron discovers, sometimes you don’t even need Felix Felicis to truly feel lucky – sometimes it’s just about tricking yourself into believing you can do it! 

## If you have a tendency to get a bit tongue tied... try a Babbling Beverage 

Are you ever having a chat with someone and find you simply cannot access that perfect witty thing to say? We have all been there. There is a potion that could have you waxing lyrical in no time though – try a furtive swig of a Babbling Beverage next time you find yourself stuck for small-talk at a party. 

## If you’re simply a very anxious person – maybe some Draught of Peace would be nice 

Are you in a perpetual state of unrest? Can’t even settle down to watch some Muggle telly without feeling a niggle at the back of your mind? Do you worry when you don’t have stuff to worry about? You sound like you’d love some Draught of Peace then, which is recommended for those easily agitated. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But then again, this is the wizarding world. 


Ever wondered what it would be like to be Dumbledore for a day? Are you a restless sleeper? Constantly anxious? Don’t worry, if you’re a potions connoisseur, there’s usually a brew to help. 

What if Draco Malfoy had been a Gryffindor?

what-if-draco-malfoy-had-been-a-gryffindor-text-section-1

There are a lot of unflattering things that can be said about Draco Malfoy – and most of them are well-deserved. He is snobbish, cruel, highly prejudiced with an inflated ego to boot. Still, how much of that is due to his upbringing and the influences of those around him? Would Draco Malfoy have been a different person if he had been sorted into Gryffindor? Would he have rejected his family’s pure-blood mania? Would he have been assigned the mission to kill Dumbledore? And would he have succeeded? Or – would he have shunned Voldemort? Most importantly, what would Crabbe and Goyle have done without him? While this is all speculation, we can’t help but consider just how different things could have been if Draco Malfoy had never been a Slytherin.

## Would he have become friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

It is safe to say that Harry’s first impression of Draco Malfoy in Madam Malkin’s was not a positive one. Malfoy managed to (quite impressively) come across as rude, obnoxious and arrogant within the space of a few minutes. At that moment Malfoy was in his element. He was preparing for school where he thought he would be the star; confident he was going to be in Slytherin and secure in his family’s wealth and status. If something were to shake his confidence – like being sorted into Gryffindor, or anything other than Slytherin – would those walls have come down? 

‘Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they, but I know I’ll be in Slytherin, all our family have been – imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you?’

HP1-draco-quote-about-slytherin

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

what-if-draco-malfoy-had-been-a-gryffindor-text-section-1-point-5

We don’t doubt that Malfoy would really struggle with being sorted into a house he didn’t want – or indeed, a house his family may not approve of as much. That insecurity might even seem like vulnerability and lead to our trio feeling sorry for him. We can imagine Malfoy exploiting that. He would be shrewd enough to know that he would need to make allies quickly and being friends with the famous Harry Potter would give him some social capital. 

Yet, we think that it would have been very difficult for Draco to become friends with them. Draco’s prejudices run deep, having been consistently drilled into him by his family and he would want nothing to do with Muggle-born students – including Hermione. However, such abhorrent views are not as tolerated in Gryffindor, so Draco would probably have had to keep quiet. Sadly, during the times of the books, pure-blood values seemed to still be an important trait for some members of Slytherin house – even their common room password was once ‘pure blood’. 

Instead, we can imagine that Draco would try to manipulate Harry and Ron and turn them against Hermione while keeping his true feelings a secret. If he had been successful (and we think that is a very big if), it would have been a much shorter series. Surely Harry and Ron would not have made it past the Philosopher’s Stone without Hermione, and Voldemort would have claimed victory?

what-if-draco-malfoy-had-been-a-gryffindor-text-section-2

## Would he have rejected his family’s beliefs?
Being a Gryffindor in a family full of Slytherins wouldn’t be easy and Malfoy would have been conflicted. At home, his head would have been filled with anti-Muggle sentiments, fed to him by his parents. In the Gryffindor common room, those same ideas would be considered repulsive by many. Without the safety net of being in Slytherin, it’s likely Malfoy would not have been quite so open or antagonistic about his views (without Crabbe and Goyle vehemently nodding alongside him). Though just because he would be quieter about them, it wouldn’t mean he didn’t believe in them. 

Malfoy’s personality relies a great deal on his status and he doesn’t handle embarrassment or being alone well. However, he is quite calculating, and he could probably mask his true views at school to retain his allies. Even if his perspective had softened a little bit surrounded by the likes of Harry and Ron, he still wouldn’t risk his cushy homelife. It takes a strong person to stand up to their family and despite all his bluster, it’s likely Malfoy would have been too insecure to do so.

That is not say that it is impossible for someone in his situation to push back – Sirius Black is one example that springs to mind. He sacrificed his home and his relationship with his family because he knew deep down what was right. Malfoy just doesn’t seem to be built from the same stuff. His desire for self-preservation is strong - and wouldn’t he struggle without his opulent lifestyle? Why would he risk alienating his family when he wouldn’t get anything from it? Where Sirius was driven to do the right thing, Malfoy prefers to do the easy thing. Remaining on good terms with his family and their views is more beneficial to his lifestyle than sacrificing it all for popularity at school.

## Would he have tried to kill Dumbledore?
This is an interesting one. If Draco had been a Gryffindor, he still would have had parents strongly affiliated with Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange as an aunt. Malfoy Manor would’ve still been a good base for Voldemort. Dumbledore would remain a major threat and Malfoy would have been in a good position to get close to him at school. We think it is safe to assume that he would have been assigned the task of murdering his headmaster. 

Nevertheless, one major difference would be his relationship with Professor Snape. As head of Slytherin, Snape and Malfoy would probably not have been close (even though Snape was Voldemort’s supposed contact at Hogwarts). However, Dumbledore’s plan would have been able to go ahead and Snape would still be a good candidate to be involved in an Unbreakable Vow to protect Draco. Snape would probably have to look out for Malfoy from a distance and observe rather than get involved. It would look very suspicious to have the Head of Slytherin (who notoriously dislikes other students outside his house) colluding with a Gryffindor and Malfoy might be reluctant to trust him. Without an established relationship with Snape, Malfoy would have nobody to turn to and would have had to bear the weight of the task alone.

Yet, it’s possible that night at the top of the Astronomy Tower would have happened in the same way. Malfoy’s father was the one who told him about Borgin and Burke’s, so Draco would have known about the Vanishing Cabinets and would be able to let the Death Eaters into Hogwarts. Dumbledore would want to protect Draco’s soul and Snape would still have been the one to ultimately end Dumbledore’s life. Therefore, even if Draco had been a Gryffindor, we are confident that he would have still tried (and failed) to kill him.

The only thing to ponder is this – Harry was suspicious of Draco’s behaviour in *Half-Blood Prince* already. If they’d been in the same house, and even been friends, would Harry have been able to watch Draco more closely?

## Would he still have been a bully?
If anyone were to describe a bully, we can imagine they would describe Draco Malfoy. He spent so much time and energy trying to make others miserable and seemed to relish the power that came with it. While he might not be quite as openly nasty to those around him if he was in Gryffindor – its wouldn’t be for noble reasons. His deep insecurity coupled with his desire to keep useful people on side would mean his bullying would have to take a different form.

Rather than being overtly awful, it’s likely he would try to subtly manipulate those who were more impressionable instead. We can imagine that there would be a few Gryffindors who would fall for that – Seamus Finnegan is one person who comes to mind. When Seamus's mum didn't believe that Voldemort was back, she instilled that view on an impressionable Seamus who then, for a time, shunned Harry. We can see Malfoy slowly poisoning Gryffindors like Seamus and convincing them to ostracise those he believes are beneath him.  

We can also still see Malfoy trying to recruit underlings to do his bidding. As a Slytherin, he had Crabbe and Goyle and as a Gryffindor we can see him trying to recruit someone like Neville. Not only is Neville a pure-blood, but he is also someone who Malfoy would think he could easily control. Now, we know that Neville is a lot braver than he appears, so we think Malfoy would have trouble getting him to do his bidding – but we can imagine Draco targeting him. While Malfoy may not have been a bully in such an obvious way as a Gryffindor, he would make manipulative comments, only associate with the 'right' people and try to influence and corrupt characters he believed to be weak.

## Would he still have supported Voldemort?
With a family so connected to Lord Voldemort and his followers, surely Draco would’ve still been inclined to support him too. Even if Draco was in Gryffindor, Voldemort supporters can turn up anywhere. Always remember that Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor who betrayed his friends for the sake of Voldemort – and he seemingly had less reason to than Draco.

It is true that Malfoy does come from a long line of pure-bloods and known Death Eaters who value blood status above all else. However, it’s possible that Draco would’ve been drawn to Voldemort anyway. Draco is driven by self-interest and truly believes himself to be superior to others – so is likely to have found Voldemort’s spiel intoxicating. If Voldemort were victorious, he would be at the top of the wizarding food chain and wouldn’t have to share space with anyone who repulsed him. He also wouldn’t have to hide his true views from his fellow Gryffindors or downplay just how involved his family was with the Dark Lord. 

However, it’s also worth noting that, in his older years, Draco’s personality did mellow out – which seemed to be down to the influences of his wife, Astoria. Astoria, who also came from a pure-blood family, did not support anti-Muggle sentiments, and the couple chose not to imprint such ideas on to their son, Scorpius.

But this was all after Voldemort’s death – so would better influences during Voldemort’s rise to power have been enough to convince Draco to turn over a new leaf? Or had his family simply caused too much damage too early? Perhaps Voldemort’s death was the only way to truly help change Malfoy’s mind about things...

## What would have happened to Crabbe and Goyle without him?
We can’t forget what impact Malfoy being sorted into Gryffindor would have had on his trusty minions Crabbe and Goyle. Without Malfoy as their leader, they would’ve only had each other. Or maybe they would they be the henchmen of a different character? 

It’s likely that their time at school would have been less eventful if they hadn’t blindly followed Malfoy and gone along with all his poor decisions. While they come from families that support Voldemort, their involvement in things would likely have been less significant. Would Crabbe still be alive if his story hadn’t been so tightly bound to Malfoy’s? Would the events of the Fiendfyre in the Room of Requirement have even happened at all without Malfoy there? While Crabbe and Goyle may have been rudderless without their leader, maybe they wouldn’t have gone down such a dark path – although with their parents being Death Eaters, that’s probably wishful thinking. 

What do you think would’ve happened to Draco Malfoy, had the events of his life turned out differently?

## 8th: Blast-Ended Skrewts
The honour of most dangerous Care of Magical Creatures lesson has to go to the Blast-Ended Skrewts. These horrible creature with the blasting ends, stingers and suckers were really rather… gross. Over the course of several lessons, Harry and his class suffered cuts, bruises, burns and they still couldn’t figure out one end of a Skrewt from the other. Any lesson where you have to escape from a group of large, rampaging, lobster-looking creatures and take shelter in Hagrid’s hut is always going to be considered rather hazardous in our eyes. There’s also the fact that Hagrid seemed to have been involved in some rather dodgy dealings when it came to acquiring these beasts. We’re not sure that their creation was strictly legal, or Ministry approved…

Danger rating: 9/10 

ranked-dangerous-care-of-magical-creatures-lessons-text-section-2

## 7th: Hippogriffs
Ok, so we have a soft spot for Buckbeak – he was a faithful companion to both Hagrid and Sirius and could be perfectly lovely. Harry had no problem approaching him and he even let Harry ride him! However, we have to acknowledge that picking a group of Hippogriffs as your first lesson as a teacher was quite a risky move for Hagrid… especially when your class contained Draco Malfoy. Of course, it was Draco’s arrogance and failure to listen to Hagrid that led to him getting hurt. He should never have been rude to Buckbeak – Hagrid had even warned the class that insulting a Hippogriff could be the last thing they’d ever do. Yet, a lesson ending with a trip to the hospital wing has to go quite high up the danger list, even when it was Malfoy’s fault.

Danger rating: 7/10

## 6th: Thestrals
Poor Thestrals, they have a bit of an unfair reputation – what with being closely associated with death and misfortune – but we think the Care of Magical Creatures lesson on them wasn’t too high in the danger stakes. Obviously, we know that the Thestrals at Hogwarts were quite tame, but Hagrid did admit that they would bite when annoyed. And for those students who couldn’t see them, we can imagine it was a rather unnerving experience. Professor Umbridge didn’t help matters either – what with her demeaning attitude towards Hagrid which led him to be a little distracted when discussing their finer points. We guess we also have to bring up that they’re *technically* classed as dangerous by the Ministry of Magic and other teachers, such as Grubbly-Plank, wouldn’t show them to a class until N.E.W.T. level. Although, we feel a lot of the negativity surrounding them is due to their association with being a bad omen and they’re more misunderstood than dangerous. 

Danger rating: 5/10

## 5th: Bowtruckles
You might be surprised to find the lesson on Bowtruckles in the middle of our list. After all, these creatures are tiny little sticks – what harm could they possibly cause? Not to mention that this lesson was run by Professor Grubbly-Plank who was known to be less… eccentric than Hagrid when it came to lesson planning. Yet, you would be wise to not be too complacent around these miniscule magical creatures. Bowtruckles have long, sharp fingers which they will use to try and gouge a person’s eyeballs if angered. While they seemed happy enough to be handled by the members of the class (as they tried to draw annotated sketches of them), Harry soon learnt the importance of not being distracted while holding one. After accidentally squeezing his Bowtruckle far too hard, it reminded him of his presence by leaving two deep cuts in his hand. Although, we can hardly hold that against the Bowtruckle. If we were about to be snapped in half by a preoccupied teenager, we’d be pretty livid too.

## 4th: Unicorns
Both Grubbly-Plank and Hagrid spent time introducing these majestic creatures to Harry’s class. Overall, both lessons seemed pretty safe. When Grubbly-Plant showed them the adult unicorn, the girls in the class spent a lot of time petting it. We don’t think a teacher as savvy as Grubbly-Plank would have let them do that if she believed they were in any danger. However, it was bad news for the boys, unicorns aren’t their biggest fans. In fact, they all had to stand away from it for their own safety. Nevertheless, when Hagrid introduced them to the golden baby unicorns, everyone in the class was allowed to feed them sugar lumps – turns out they were more trusting than the adults. We think these lessons should sit in the middle of our list as they only posed a risk to some of the students. 

Danger rating: 3/10

ranked-dangerous-care-of-magical-creatures-lessons-text-section-6

## 3rd: Nifflers
Nifflers are too busy being cute, fluffy and digging for shiny things to be a threat to humans. One may have tried to bite the watch of Pansy Parkinson’s wrist, but it wasn’t attacking her as such – it just wanted the treasure. The Care of Magical Creatures lesson where they were introduced seemed like an awful lot of fun, especially the competition element of it all. Seeing which Niffler could collect the most gold coins was a stroke of genius from Hagrid. The only reason we would consider these little creatures to be dangerous at all is because of their tunnel-vision around shiny objects and the need to remove your valuables in their presence. They can also be a little bit destructive. As Hagrid said, they’d make terrible pets and are known to wreck houses. So, while they’re adorable, squidgy and don’t have any interest in hurting people, some precautions did need to be taken during that lesson.

Danger rating: 2.5/10

## 2nd: Salamanders
This Care of Magical Creatures lesson may have involved fire, but on the whole, it was pretty tame. Harry and his class had a rather enjoyable time collecting wood, tending to the bonfire and watching the flame-loving Salamanders have the time of their live as they scampered about in it. As this lesson was in January, we imagine it was a rather pleasant way to spend a very wintry day. The reason it isn’t ranked as least dangerous is because even though the Salamanders weren’t threatening, this lesson still involved open flames – which can always prove to be treacherous. 

Danger rating: 2/10

## 1st: Flobberworms
It really couldn’t be anything else, could it? These floppy worms couldn’t be less dangerous, or boring, if they tried. Oh, their mucus can be used a thickener for some potions we guess… riveting stuff. Harry and his class spent some very tame lessons shoving lettuce down their throats but that didn’t turn out too well – turns out too much lettuce can kill a Flobberworm (death by salad how very dull). Crabbe may have claimed that one bit him but we’re pretty sure he was lying as they don’t have teeth. These slimy guys pose literally no threat, so we have no hesitation when we say that they were least dangerous of all Harry’s Care of Magical Creatures lessons – we guess they could count that as an achievement…

Evanna spoke of her delight to teach this one-of-a-kind class, which is made extra-special by the fact both of her own parents are teachers too.

I fell in love with the Harry Potter books when I was 8, and my appreciation for the magical world and its complex, wonderful characters has only deepened as I’ve grown older and revisited them again and again,’ she said.

‘It would be impossible to quantify the impact these books have had on my life, but suffice to say they made me a lifelong reader and a writer, and that the characters continue to inspire me as an adult. As the daughter of two teachers, I love the idea of schools spreading the magic of these books to a new generation of children. I’m delighted to present this special lesson and hope it inspires them to pick up a pen, a book – or even a wand.’

Gringotts is known as one of the most intricate and cleverly designed locations across all of the wizarding world, comprised of underground tunnels and secret vaults. Now, you can celebrate the dazzling details of the bank with this [brand new upcoming LEGO® set](https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/gringotts-wizarding-bank-collectors-edition-76417?utm_source=LEGO&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=wizardingworld), which uses 4,803 pieces! (So be careful when you’re hoovering!)

Fans will be able to build the grandiose white exterior of Gringotts, the main banking hall, and of course, the best bit: the mysterious underground vaults, which come with a mine-cart rollercoaster ride. You may remember Hagrid and Harry once took the plunge on this cart in the very first Harry Potter film.

The Gringotts set also encompasses some of the adventures from the later Harry Potter stories, such as the epic break-in (and break-out!) that Harry, Ron and Hermione (all included as minifigures!) achieve during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This means that you’ll get your very own Ukranian Ironbelly Dragon as part of this set, who is freed by the golden trio. 

Other minifigures include Rubeus Hagrid, Bellatrix Lestrange, Griphook and various goblin bankers and guards, meaning you can build your very own Gringotts and have your own adventures. It’s definitely more exciting than our Muggle banks! 

The LEGO® Harry Potter™ Gringotts Wizarding Bank™ set is available on September 4th, or 1st September for LEGO VIPs! [Learn more over at the official website.](https://www.lego.com/en-gb/themes/harry-potter) But it’ll be able to pre-order from 21st August!
