I can't make a Cure for Boils. Every time I try I finish, wave my wand, and it says that I did it wrong.

Got mine on my first try.

Though that's probably because I'm a Slytherin.

No wonder, it must be biased so only Slytherins can make it.
It makes perfect Potter sense.
 
Oh, and a tip: If your not an expert, don't brew potions, you lose house points for that!

What exactly does it tell you? Perhaps I can help (even though it goes against Slytherin elitism).
 
Boil to 250 degrees for 10 seconds (did that.)

Then, wave your wand. I do that and it says I failed.
 
Yeah, but what's the exact reason (e.g. ran out of time, ingredient in the wrong container/used wrong amount, not following the instructions in the right order)?

Also, did you keep the temperature in the correct range (green) for those ten seconds and turn the heat off before waving the wand?
 
Check the book after each step to make sure that it's crossed out (and it has to be in that exact order, even if it makes more sense to do otherwise).
 
Ok, then maybe you used too much of an ingredient.
