When we were talking about mandrake roots in class, two things popped into my head. The first was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where they repotted mandrakes in Herbology class.
The second thing was Pan's Labyrinth. Pan tells Ofelia to place a mandrake root in a bowl of milk underneath her pregnant mother's bed to ease her pregnancy.
