It was like going to a restaurant, you wouldn't want to eat at a place that wasn't clean. Quote:

"Cleanliness and organization are both extremely important-- and yes, you will be cleaning and curing cauldrons before you begin brewing today -- but there is one specific rule which relates to your potion making. If you do not adhere to this simple rule, you will never master potion making, and your brews may be inconsistent and even dangerous? For five points, is there any who remembers the simple Cardinal Rule of Potion Making?" Quote:
Fyo raised his hand. "The Cardinal Rule of Potions is to know our ingredients, sir," he said simply. "To know what each individual ingredient is - its effects, its reactions with the other ingredients, its potency and the likewise. You can't brew a brilliant potion, unless you follow this rule."
"Excellent! Five points to Gryffindor, thanks to Mr. Balouch!" Kazimeriz nodded with satisfaction. "Know you ingredients. Know what they do; know what affects them. A plant harvested at midnight on a full moon may have different magical properties than one that has been harvested at high noon when the moon is waxing." He nodded, pacing.
