this is just my opinion but i feel like veritaserum was like way too overpowered. at least legilimency was balanced with “it’s not like reading thoughts” or “you can close your mind” but veritaserum was just too much to me.

so many plot points can just be solved with it, but obviously they aren’t cause that would make for shitty books. but it just ends up being very frustrating when you think about it.

this was my new exhausted late night rant post, enjoy
