Fortunately, the club members were eventually able to restore the book with Papyrus Reparo and sent the Castelobruxo club some Laughing Potion that they had brewed from the book's recipe in return. Partly from clues that the portrait gave them, the students deduced that the package contained a copy of Borage's book " Have Yourself a Fiesta in a Bottle!", sent to the Hogwarts Hippogriff Club as a goodwill gift by their counterparts at Castelobruxo. During the 1986–1987 school year, Jacob's sibling consulted with the portrait while trying to determine what was in a package destroyed by the baby Occamy, Squawk.
In the 1980s, Borage's portrait was hung in the Hippogriff Clubhouse. During Snape's student days at Hogwarts, he added many annotations to his copy of Borage's Advanced Potion-Making, significantly improving the recipes. Īmong his many published works are Advanced Potion-Making, Asiatic Anti-Venoms and Have Yourself a Fiesta in a Bottle! - the first and second of which are used at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as a textbook for N.E.W.T.-level classes, and as a reference text for O.W.L.-level classes, respectively.ĭespite Borage's accomplishments, Hogwarts Potions Master Severus Snape seemed to be more adept at potion-making.
In his youth, he attended the wizarding school of Castelobruxo in Brazil.
