Herbology is the study of magical and mundane plants and fungi, making it the wizarding equivalent to botany. Herbology is a core class and subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Castelobruxo in which students learn to care for and utilise plants, learn about their magical properties and what they are used for. Many plants provide ingredients for potions and medicine, while others have magical effects of their own right.
Students are expected to have the following;
- Dragon-hide gloves
- Earmuffs
- Dragon dung compost
- Mooncalf dung
- Wand
- Books
- Parchment
- Quill
