References from the canon

• The second year students were making this when Harry threw a firecracker into Goyle's cauldron to create a diversion so Hermione could steal ingredients for Polyjuice Potion from Snape's closet. Where the solution splashed, people's arms, noses, eyes, etc. were enlarged grotesquely. The antidote was a Deflating Draught (CS11).
