Subsume the lesser beast1/2/2024 This was a moment where we learnt that Draco’s magical prowess was not to be underestimated.Īs seen in: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone We know in the book that Draco learnt how to repair the twin Vanishing Cabinets (one that sits in Hogwarts and one that sits in Borgin & Burkes) to create a passage for Death Eaters to infiltrate the school. This spell is a bit of a mouthful, but was incredibly useful for Draco Malfoy during the sixth story. Harmonia Nectere Passus: The Vanishing Cabinet repair spellĪs seen in: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the film) Although this piece of magic isn’t just for fun: Hermione used it to avoid a pair of Death Eaters in the final book. This one is one of our favourites, because we love the idea that the very specific urge for turning a staircase into a slide has its own spell. After all, simply knowing duelling spells is only one half of Defence Against the Dark Arts.Īs seen in: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows While his introduction of chocolate as a healing property impressed Madam Pomfrey, Remus also knew how to conjure bandages from thin air for an injured Ron. Remus Lupin had a knack for clever little spells and magical methods to solve tricky problems. And actually, this is a proper spell that does exactly this! Sounds like the sort of thing that would really bug Dudley. We don’t see this spell performed in the books, but Harry does wish he could ‘jinx Dudley so thoroughly he’d have to crawl home like an insect’ at one point during the fourth book. Thanks to the Marauder’s Map for this one.Īs referenced in: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Thankfully, Hogwarts is full of secret passages and hidden rooms, and one such secret passage led Harry straight to the wizarding village if he uses the incantation Dissendium on the One-Eyed Witch statue. This spell is incredibly specific but helped Harry an awful lot during his third-year when he wasn’t able to visit Hogsmeade. Perhaps a cheeky reference to Ron’s magical faux pas in the first book?Īs seen in: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban The spell comes up during Harry’s Charms O.W.L exam, where they are tasked with turning a rat orange. Remember Ron’s little rhyme for trying to turn Scabbers yellow? Well, he would’ve been better off trying the incantation Colovaria, which you might not have known is used to cast the colour-changing charm. It does have a very fun-sounding incantation, which is probably enjoyable to say in a passionate manner while fighting your foe of many decades.Īs seen in: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix But in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Harry uses a more sophisticated binding jinx on Draco Malfoy during a kitchen duel. What is it with wizards and sticking limbs together? We already have the Full-Body Bind and the Leg-Locker Curse. In the first Fantastic Beasts film, Queenie resorts to a slightly more novel charm to get into Percival Grave’s office.Īs seen in: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Sometimes, Alohomora (the Unlocking Charm) simply won’t cut it when it comes to opening things up.
