about Felix Felicis

This potion makes the first appearance in Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince.
This is a potion that makes the user incredibly lucky. It is described as looking like molten gold and bubbling. The potion also helps the person know what to do and where to go. Extremely difficult to brew, if the potion is used too often, it will affect the user's ability to tell what is humanly possible and what is not, as well as inducing toxic effects to those who ingest it excessively. Felix Felicis is banned in organized activities such as sporting events and examinations.
Until the effects wear off, all the drinker's endeavours will tend to succeed. Once consumed, the potion gives the drinker an exhilarating sense of confidence and a tremendous sense of opportunity. However, if taken in excess the potion causes giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence, and it is highly toxic in large quantities. A "miniscule" glass bottle can contain enough Felix Felicis to last 12 hours.
Professor Slughorn offers a small bottle of Felix Felicis as a prize in a potion-brewing contest. Harry wins it with the hints written in the mysterious Half-blood Prince's textbook. The potion is eventually used in anti-Voldemort activities, but not before Harry tricks Ron into believing that he's given the potion to him right before a Quidditch match, eliminating the self-doubt problem that had crippled Ron's playing skills.
Harry consumed one mouthful of Felix Felicis on the night of Aragog's burial. Harry turned over the rest of his supply of Felix Felicis to Ron, Hermione, and Ginny on the night he and Dumbledore left Hogwarts to try to retrieve the locket Horcrux.
