" As his speech and mobility improved, Healer Strout encouraged Mr Bode to look after the plant himself, unaware that it was not an innocent Flitterbloom, but a cutting of Devil's Snare, which, when touched by the convalescent Mr Bode, throttled him instantly." - A spokeswizard for St Mungos regarding the death of Broderick Bode, reported in the Daily Prophet Thankfully, she remembered the plant's preference for damp and darkness, so she set the plant alight with the Bluebell Flames, freeing both Harry and Ron from the deadly plant. Hermione instantly identified it but initially struggled to remember how to kill the plant from she had learned in Herbology. Hermione managed to quickly free herself from the plant's grasp, but Harry and Ron quickly became bound by its tendrils, and started to suffocate. In 1992, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley were caught in the plant when they attempted to prevent the theft of the Philosopher's Stone. In 1991, Professor Sprout placed a large Devil's Snare as the second defence of the Philosopher's Stone, just below the trapdoor guarded by Fluffy.

In 1984, Merula Snyde was shown a Devil's Snare in a storehouse by fourth-year Slytherin students shortly after her arrival. Some fourth-year Slytherins showed it to me when I first arrived." - Jacob's sibling trapped with Devil's Snare Jacob's sibling: " What is that thing?!" Merula Snyde: " A deadly plant called Devil's Snare. It would stop its movement in the environment in front of bright light and would recoil away from the heat of fire, so a well-placed fire or light based spell such as the Bluebell Flames, Fire-Making Spell, Wand-Lighting Charm or Lumos Solem Spell would effectively drive it away from its victims. Devil's Snare preferred a dark, damp environment. Struggling or resistance to Devil's Snare would cause the plant to exert a greater force of constriction. If the victim was able to maintain their presence of mind and relaxed, the Snare would relax its grip on them. ![]() The harder a person struggled against Devil's Snare, the faster and more tightly it bound them. ![]() This plant used its creepers and tendrils to ensnare anyone who touched it, binding their arms and legs and eventually choking them.
