(November 2010) Spells in Harry Potter occur in the fictional wizarding world of the series of books by author J. K. Rowling. Magic spells are used by many of the characters to achieve useful effects without the benefit of modern technology. The main depiction of a "spell" in the Harry Potter books consists of a gesture made with the character's wand, combined with a spoken or mental incantation. In the books and the associated film series, the names of the majority of these spells or the incantations used to effect them are derived from the classical languages, particularly Latin.[1] These names are not grammatically correct in any language; most spoken phrases resemble Latin words of appropriate meaning but are not proper Latin themselves. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the concept of casting spells nonverbally is introduced. Earlier, every spell cast by the principal characters had been accompanied by the appropriate voiced incantation, although advanced adult practitioners of magic had cast nonverbal spells in previous books. Consequently, the incantations used for some spells introduced in Half-Blood Prince and its sequel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows are unavailable. Spell e li ted here by their i t ti (when known), with their vernacular names in parenthesis. Some spells have no known incantation ± the only reference in the text is by an informal name, either because in its only appearance in the relevant book it was cast nonverbally, or because it was never depicted in the books, only mentioned. The majority of spells cast in duels between adult characters in all seven books appear nonverbally; only their effects can identify such spells. Contents 0±9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A Accio ( ummoning Charm) Pronunciation: Various suggestions have been made, including: /æki.o/ AK-ee-oh ± film and video game /æksi.o/ AK-see-oh ± U.K. audio book /æsi.o/ AS-see-oh ± U.S. audio book Descri tion: This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance.[2] Its opposite is the Banishing Charm. ¡ een/mentioned: First mentioned in Harry Pott r and t Goblet of Fire, when it was briefly used by Molly Weasley on the Weasley twins to confiscate their Weasleys' Wi ard Wheezes' products from their pockets, before they left for the Quidditch World Cup. Hermione was also mentioned trying to learn this charm during her ride aboard the Hogwarts Express. Later on in the same book, Harry summons his broom to complete the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament.[GF Ch.20] Near the end of the book, Harry summons a Portkey he cannot reach to escape from the Battle in the Graveyard. In "Order of the Phoenix", Bellatrix Lestrange attempts to summon the ¡ £ ¤ prophecy from Harry. Also seen in Half¢ lood Prince and Deat ly Hallow to try to summon Horcruxes, and Harry tries to summon a falling Rubeus Hagrid. One of the Death Eaters tried to snatch Harry's Invisibility Cloak using this charm, but it did not work. Suggested etymology: The Latin word accio means "I call" or "I summon".[3] Aguamenti (Aguamenti Charm) Pronunciation: /wĽmnti/ AH-gwι-MEN-tee Descri tion: Produces a jet of water from the caster's wand. Seen/mentioned: First seen in Goblet of Fire, when Fleur put the fire out on her skirt ¦ "with a bit of water from her wand." First named in Half¥ lood Prince, when Harry is being taught how to perform this specific charm in Professor Flitwick's class. Later Harry casts this spell in an attempt to create water for Dumbledore to drink after taking Voldemort's potion[HBP Ch.26] and then to douse Hagrid's hut after it is set on fire § later.[HBP Ch.28] Then in Deat ly Hallow¨, Hermione Granger uses it to put out Mundungus' searing eyebrows after Harry accidentally set them on fire.[DH Ch.11] Later on, Harry uses it in a failed attempt to douse Vincent Crabbe's Fiendfyre curse in the Room of Requirement.[DH Ch.31] Suggested etymology: The Latin word aqua (water) combined with augmentum (compare with English augment), an increase, from augere, to increase; see aug- in Indo-European roots, meaning: ³increasing the water (flow)´, this combination explains the QU/GU alteration in aqua- ĺ agua- (see agua e. g. in Portuguese and Spanish). -menti is the genitive form of the suffix -mentum Alohomora Pronunciation: /ĽlohĽmĽrĽ/ ι-LOH-hι-MOHR-ι Descri tion: Used to open and/or unlock doors,[4] but doors can be bewitched so that this spell has no effect.[citation needed] Seen/mentioned: Used throughout the series, with the first use by Hermione in Harry Potter and t© e Philosopher's Stone. Used gradually less in the series as the characters discover more and more doors, chests, etc. with counter-charms on them. (For example, the doors into Professor Snape's and Professor Umbridge's offices are mentioned as being Alohomora-proof.[citation needed]) Etymology: J. K. Rowling stated that the word was from the West African Sidiki dialect used in geomancy and has the literal meaning Friendly to thieves.[5] Anapneo Pronunciation: /Ľnæpni.o/ ι-NAP-nee-oh Descri tion: Clears the target's airway, if blocked. Seen/mentioned: Shown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Horace Slughorn casts this spell on Marcus Belby when the latter begins to choke.[HBP Ch.7] Suggested etymology: The Greek word anapneo which means "to draw breath or to revive".[6] (Anti Cheating Spell) Description: Cast on parchment or quills to prevent the writer from cheating whilst writing answers. Seen/mentioned: Mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as being cast on quills and exam papers for exams at Hogwarts.[PS Ch.16] (Anti Disapparition Jinx) Description: Used to prevent Disapparition and/or Apparition in an area for a period. Presumably can be used to prevent an enemy from entering a defended area, or used to trap an enemy in an area. Seen/mentioned: Mentioned in Order of the Phoenix, used by Dumbledore to trap several Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries.[OP Ch.36] Also cast long ago on Hogwarts, the reason why, as Hermione quotes often throughout the series, "no one can Apparate or Disapparate inside the Hogwarts grounds." In Deathly Hallows, it prevented the trio from escaping Hogsmeade when Death Eaters placed the same spell around the area. (Antonin Dolohov's Curse) Description: This curse causes serious internal injury, but shows no external symptoms. It is described as cast with "a slashing motion", sending out a streak of purple flames. It is not nonverbal, though Harry could not hear it because Hermione had used the silencing charm Silencio on Dolohov before. Seen/mentioned: Seen only in Order of the Phoenix, this spell is cast three times by Antonin Dolohov during the battle between the Death Eaters and members of Dumbledore's Army at the Ministry of Magic. Aparecium Pronunciation: /æpĽrisi.Ľm/ AP-ι-REE-see-ιm Description: This spell makes invisible ink appear. Seen/mentioned: First seen in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when Hermione tries to make hidden writing appear in Tom Marvolo Riddle's diary.[CS Ch.13] Notes: See also Specialis Revelio.
