In this video, I break down some of the vaguely medical scenes in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We discuss the science behind gigantism, the properties of plants like asphodel, wormwood, monkshood and wolfbane, some real experiments done with Bezoar stones, and some ways in which Petrificus Totalus could work in real life. Enjoy xx
