The line would still be waiting, and eventually the crowd would change the minds of the "authorities". Just look at prohibition.

There would be no line. I dont care what you claim your magic potion will do, once it becomes known that it has a random hodge-podge of entirely poisonous ingredients and not simply debatable bad for you like drugs or alcohol, it will be viewed as equivalent to "Weight-loss by Crack Addiction". That's not to say there wouldnt be some takers out there, but they'd be the same sort that would be willing to pay for the sort of back-alley plastic surgery you read about where they are getting injected with Concrete mix and fix-a-flat injections
Rasins:
I think this is one where we'll have to agree to disagree. LOL
Results matter.
And Sandpaper? For hair growth. Pshaw!!
LOL

In the real world you have to get approved by government agencies, and your product goes under testing. Harry would have to sell it on the black market... For some things that would make him rich, but I doubt selling a cure for baldness on the black market would get him a ton of money. Especially since you can just get hair implants and grow your own hair now.
If Harry had no morals his black market product would be love potions like Susan took. Rich people who have everything except for the person they desire, but get turned down by would pay vast amounts of money. If someone is willing to pay hundreds of millions for a painting they will pay a huge price so they can possess the person of their desires.

Indeed, this was my thought as well.

Agreed, though I strongly suspect that potion would be viewed as a Grey area in the Laws at best, given that it's introducing foreign drives and motivations to a person's psychy. You start selling that (which would amount to a magical date rape drug) and I expect that would push it over the edge in the WC's mind.
