Gillyweed, a fictional plant from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, is not directly based on a real plant but may draw inspiration from various aquatic plants known for their unique properties. In folklore and fantasy, many plants have been attributed with magical or transformative qualities. Gillyweed, which allows a person to breathe underwater, embodies themes of adaptation and survival found in nature, echoing the abilities of certain aquatic organisms. While it doesn't exist in reality, its concept resonates with humanity's fascination with the underwater world.

Gillyweed. It's a plant which allows him to grow gills for an hour so he can breathe under the water the same way fish do. Dobby gave it to him, in the movie this was changed to Neville Longbottom.In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter eats a handful of Gillyweed to sprout gills so that he could be able to breathe and swim underwater without drowning, so as to complete the Second Task of the 1994-95 Triwizard Tournament.In both the book and the film adaptation of Goblet of Fire, Harry eats Gillyweed. However, in the book, Dobby has the idea for the Gillyweed and steals some Gillyweed from Severus Snape's office and gives it to Harry. In the film, however, Neville Longbottom steals the Gillyweed for Harry, not Dobby.Dobby in the book; Neville in the movie.
