This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have watched the movies and I do not understand what this post is explaining. Can someone more skilled than me explain it please?

Felix Felicis is a potion sometimes called “Liquid Luck.” Until the effects wear off, all the drinker’s endeavours will tend to succeed

Harry Potter has an in-universe luck potion. Based on that wiki page, it looks like it was only relevant in the sixth book/movie

Dumbledore gives Harry some potion that basically increases his luck stat by infinity. I forgot what they actually called it.

Horace Slughorn gave it to Harry. It's named "Felix Felicis" or liquid luck.
