However, it is unknown if the potion could have such an extreme growth effect, even when overdosed, and it is known that Hagrid's size is as a result of being Half-Giant. ĭraco Malfoy mentioned in the 1994–1995 school year that he had previously attributed Rubeus Hagrid's giant-like stature to a possible accidental overdose of Skele-Gro as a child. Later that school year, when Lockhart completely redecorated the Great Hall as a morale-booster for Valentine's Day, Professor Severus Snape, being one of the teachers, was disgusted by this action, and his disgusted reaction was stated to have looked as though he was fed a large beaker of Skele-Gro. Despite Harry's wishes, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart foolishly attempted to mend the bones, accidentally causing them to disappear instead. Linfred's descendant Harry Potter needed a dose of Skele-Gro after the bones in his right arm were broken during a Quidditch match in the 1992–1993 school year. Hence, the Potions Master conscripted his fourth-years to concoct this particular brew in Potions class and taught them how to do so, warning them that Madam Pomfrey would not accept subpar Skele-Gro from them. ĭue to a Skele-Gro shortage in the 1987–1988 school year, Madam Pomfrey tasked Professor Severus Snape with producing more for her supplies. Though she usually bought it, Madam Pomfrey had to brew Skele-Gro herself in the 1985–1986 school year, and was assisted by Jacob's sibling. Linfred of Stinchcombe, an ancestor of the Potter family, was known for having created many medicinal potions, one of which would be used as the basis for Skele-Gro. However, since he required thirty-three bones to be regrown outright, it is likely that its effects vary with the amount required to be healed or regrown. For a magical treatment, Skele-Gro was surprisingly slow working when regrowing whole bones, taking most of the night to regrow the bones in Harry's arm. Swallowing it burned the throat, and, according to Harry, it tasted awful and made him cough and splutter. The potion came in a large bottle and smoked as it was dispensed. When regrowing an entire bone, Harry Potter described the sensation as having large splinters lodged in his arm. The potion was extremely effective when it came to regrowing, growing, and mending bone, but smelled and tasted terrible and it often caused pain. " It burned Harry's mouth and throat as it went down, making him cough and splutter." - The unpleasant effects of the potion
