Now, it’s not seen as important
Doesn’t seem to use magic (from outsider’s
perspective)
Lack of funding
Potioneers share some funding, but only for
Potion-related ingredients

41. People leave Herbology to work in other
fields
Use knowledge of Herbology for Potioneering
or Healing

42. Plant species leaves natural habitat to live in
another habitat
Drains resources (water, nutrients, etc)
Sometimes harmless
Sometimes causes extinction of other plants
