Why Don't Wizards Use Liquid Luck ALL THE TIME? - Harry Potter Theory
Felix Felicis doesn’t just make you more confident, at least not according to the way it is presented. It’s supposed to make the drinker lucky in all of their endeavours, and when Harry takes it we actually see that play out- accomplishing all sorts of things that had seemed completely out of reach beforehand.

Slughorn introduces it to Harry, Harry later wins it, and he eventually uses some of it to get the memory he needs. But if you stop to consider what Felix Felicis might mean for the rest of the wizarding world, things get a lot more complicated. And it all comes
down to how it works. Felix Felicis doesn't just make you more confident, at least not according to the way that it's presented. It's supposed to make the drinker lucky in all of their endeavours, and when Harry takes it, we actually see that play out, accomplishing all sorts
