1. What potion do you use to change into another person? The potion is called the Polyjuice potion and is first mentioned in the 2nd book. When Harry and Ron turn into Crabbe and Goyle and Hermione turns into a cat.

2. What potion do you use to force the truth with? The potion is called Veritaserum. It is first mentioned in Harry's potion class with Snape when he sits right infront of him. It is later used of Barty Crouch Jr.

3. What one of these potions do you think is more powerful? I think the most powerful potion would be Veritaserum. Imagine giving out all your secrets. Polyjuice is very powerful too but it only lasts for one hour. Veritaserum can last for a long time as long as you give them enough drops.

Why?

1. Polyjuice Potion

2. Veritaserum.

3. I think Veritaserum is more poweful - it can force out the darkest secrets from anybody. The truth is fascinating and sometimes just downright creepy, which I love. I like the effects of Polyjuice Potion but it doesn't last forever, whereas you can know a secret even when the Veritaserum is finished (as long as you remember it!)

1. Polyjuice

2. Veritasium

3. Polyjuice because you are changing your physical state and you can get information that way, although it may not be the complete truth. But I think both are extremely powerful.

1. Polyjuice

2. Veritaserum

1 Polyjuice Potion

2 Veritaserum



The first, because veritaserum is pretty close to the truth-serums we muggles have. (veritas is latin for truth, btw)

Polyjuice Potion

The Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to appear to be another person for a set time, most commonly an hour. It is made with several ingredients, including a part of the person that the drinker wishes to turn into, such as a strand of hair. Its taste and appearance seem to depend on the person. It is first used in Chamber of Secrets to allow Harry and Ron to transform into Crabbe and Goyle so they could question Draco. In Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Jr uses it to disguise himself as Moody. In Half-Blood Prince, Crabbe and Goyle use the potion to disguise themselves as young girls while guarding the Room of Requirement. In Deathly Hallows, it is first used to transform members of the Order into Harry look-a-likes, creating decoys from Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Later, Harry first uses it to disguise himself at Bill and Fleur's wedding as a fictional "Barny Weasley". Also, Harry, Ron and Hermione use it it infiltrate the Ministry of Magic, by disguising themselves as Ministry workers. Later he and Hermione disguise themselves as a middle-aged Muggle couple while exploring Godric's Hollow, and finally Hermione disguises herself as Bellatrix in order to break into her vault at Gringotts. The potion only works correctly with human-to-human transfiguration, as Hermione discovers in Chamber of Secrets when she inadvertently takes a dose containing cat hair.



I think Veritaserum is more powerful but Amortentia is much much more powerful

Veritaserum

Veritaserum is also known as the truth potion or truth serum. Only three drops of this potion is needed to force anyone to tell the true answer to any question. An example of its use is when it is used on Barty Crouch Jr. in Goblet of Fire. When Dumbledore asked him how he escaped from Azkaban, he told him truthfully that his mother rescued him from jail. In Order of the Phoenix, Dolores Umbridge tried to use it while interrogating students about their affiliation with Dumbledore's Army, but was actually using an ineffective potion supplied by Snape, and Harry pretended to drink it. In Half-Blood Prince, Harry considered using the potion to get Slughorn to reveal his memories about Voldemort, but thought better of it, and in Deathly Hallows Rita used the potion to extract the story of Dumbledore's childhood from Bathilda Bagshot. Rowling has revealed on her fansite that Veritaserum can be fooled using Occlumency and is not usually accepted in wizard courts.
