======Puffapods======
=====Plant Information=====
  * **Type:** [[Magical Plant]]
  * **Appearance:** A plant that produces fat, pink pods containing beans.
  * **Properties:** The pods are extremely delicate and will instantly burst into flower if dropped or handled too roughly.
=====Description and Properties=====
Puffapods are a type of magical flora known for their sensitive, bulbous seed pods. These pods are described as being fat and pink in colour. The primary characteristic of Puffapods is their volatile reaction to physical shock; if a pod is dropped or jostled, it will immediately burst open, revealing a bloom of flowers.
The main purpose of cultivating Puffapods is to harvest the beans contained within the pods. This requires a gentle touch and careful handling to prevent premature flowering. The beans themselves are large and shiny (video game).
=====Known Mentions in the Series=====
Puffapods are featured during a fifth-year [[Herbology]] lesson in //Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix//. [[Professor Sprout]] has her students, including [[Harry Potter]], [[Ron Weasley]], and [[Hermione Granger]], working in Greenhouse Three, repotting the plants. The specific task is to carefully extract the beans from the pods for later use.
During the lesson, [[Harry Potter]] accidentally drops one of the pods, causing it to burst into flower on the greenhouse floor. In contrast, [[Neville Longbottom]], who has a natural talent for [[Herbology]], handles the delicate pods with great skill, earning praise from [[Professor Sprout]].
=====Uses in Magic=====
The primary known use for Puffapods is the harvesting of their beans. These beans are used as ingredients in the brewing of [[potion]]s (video game). The process requires great care to avoid triggering the pod's defensive flowering mechanism.
=====Behind the Scenes=====
