Its association with luck aligns with common [[Muggle]] folklore.
=====Behind the Scenes=====
  * All known information regarding clover as a [[wand wood]] was written by [[J.K. Rowling]] and published on the Pottermore website. This information expands the universe's [[wandlore]] beyond what is detailed in the books.
  * The plant's use as a [[potion]] ingredient is exclusive to certain video game adaptations, such as its inclusion in the [[Wiggenweld Potion]] recipe in the game version of //[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]//.
