*** Every single (male) gaul in the village is prone to disaster, and half of them are clumsy, stupid or the best of two worlds. Anyway, Getafix states that if a child drink a large amount of potion, the duration is unknown. For Obelix is permanent; for the son of Caesar, it's a few days. On adults, it's dangerous: a Roman became a statue after drinking to much.

*** I personally interpret Obelix's situation as the equivalent of a FreakLabAccident such as the type that traditionally creates superheroes and supervillains; it requires a very ''precise'' dose to create a situation where the drinker gains permanent superhuman strength without turning to stone, and Getafix has no way to know what that is, as it's implied Obelix fell into a cauldron that had already been partially used by the village adults.

** Asterix in Britain brings up the fact that while Getafix can make potion for a great many people, it'd need to get past Roman patrols, never mind the potion being only temporary.

A minor one in ''Asterix the Legionary''. Obelix meets for the first time the beautiful Panacea, and immediately falls for her. Asterix supports his friend, and gives him advice on how to make Panacea like him too. Turns out that Panacea is engaged, which leaves Obelix heartbroken. Being Asterix the smart one of the two, shouldn't he have guessed that such a beauty would probably already have a boyfriend or fiancé? Couldn't Asterix have inquired a bit about this before giving Obelix hopes that Panacea might reciprocate his feelings?

** While it may have been reasonable for Asterix to assume that Panacea already had a partner, at the same time there's nothing to say that she ''had'' to have someone else in her life. Asterix only knew that she had been away for a couple of years and nobody had mentioned there was anyone else in her life so far, so nobody had any reason to make such an assumption. Besides, acting as though it was "expected" for her to have someone in her life might have been a sexist assumption that a woman "needs" a man in her life, and while the village might not be that progressive when they resist the Romans out of a desire for their own liberty I can see Asterix choosing not to assume anything.

**** Then explain that roman officer who turned to stone after drinking just ''one'' cauldron full.
Added DiffLines:
**** I don't know who this person is that keeps insisting that turning to stone only happens if you drink more while already under the effect is, but that person needs to read that particular book again. There's a Roman officer who turns to stone just from drinking a lot of potion--while ''not'' already under the effect. Clearly, its simply "drinking too much" that does it.

**Also, Cacofonix is the teacher for the children in the village, and it might not be a lot of other adults willing to take that position, should Cacofonix leave or be ostrasized.
