Corrected entry: On the potion bottle Shrek, Donkey, and Puss steal from Fairy Godmother's potion factory, it says that the potion will affect the drinker and their true love. That means Shrek, Donkey, Fiona AND Dragon should be affected by the potion because Donkey drank the potion and Dragon is his true love, but she wasn't affected by it.

Shrek 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: At the dinner scene, Donkey refers to Lillian before the two are even introduced. (00:16:50)
Correction: Donkey is a close associate of Fiona, their daughter, who, given that they're going to visit her parents would almost certainly have mentioned their names at some point. Even if she didn't, it's hardly going to be difficult to find out the names of the King and Queen of a major country - they do tend to be quite widely known.

Shrek 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: It is in the evening when Shrek takes the Happily Ever After potion and falls asleep. The next morning he reads on the bottle that for the potion to work he needs to be kissed by his true love by midnight on the day he takes the potion so he goes to find Fiona, but hasn't midnight already passed?
Correction: The potion doesn't kick in immediately, but sometime during the night. Most likely, its effects start at one midnight, giving the imbiber exactly 24 hours to get the kiss. That would seem suitably fairy-tale-ish.

Shrek 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: So how exactly was the Fairy Godmother's plan supposed to work? If everything worked out just fine for her, Fiona would still switch back to an ogre at midnight (lacking the kiss with the other potion drinker Shrek), certainly not the form of her Charming would love to have on his side. (Okay, could be another plot hole covering potion to fix that ;)).
Correction: The aim of the Godmother's plan is for Fiona to love Charming. Fiona being an ogre isn't the problem, it's that she loves Shrek - Godmother's entire plan is to change that. Once Fiona loves Charming, then the Godmother can work on changing her back to human form, but, during the events of the film, that's a secondary consideration. The love potion may automatically make him her true love anyway, killing two birds with one stone.

Correction: As Dragon remains off-screen during the time period when the potion is effective, it cannot be said that she was unaffected.
