"Nothing but deep affection for Hagrid could have made Harry, Ron, and Hermione pick up squelchy handfuls of frog liver and lower them into the crates to tempt the Blast-Ended Skrewts."

— The trio's feelings during a Care of Magical Creatures class on Blast-Ended Skrewts^[src]

A frog liver is the liver taken from a frog. They could be used to feed Blast-Ended Skrewts.^[1]

History

In a Care of Magical Creatures lesson at Hogwarts in September 1994, Professor Rubeus Hagrid had his fourth year students feed his newly bred Blast-Ended Skrewts frog livers, whilst teaching his students how to handle and look after the beasts. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley found this task disgusting, but nonetheless went along with it, considering how much they liked Hagrid.^[1]
