Harry's Spellbook

Hey there! Harry here. I was studying up for my OWLs Exams, but with Madame Umbridge now gone, I don't think I'll be needing this book anymore. You can take a look if you like, though. Need a spell to add more light to a dark room? Or can't remember the name of the levitation spell? Want more details on how the Incendio spell works? Then this is the book for you!

no matter how many legs u have they will all dance if u r cursed with what jinx?

Yes, they will! But it doesn’t really matter the number of legs, nor even if the legs move at all (in the case for those who are unable to move their legs due to paralysis, amputation, etc), so long as the person “dances"

Hi Harry, my name is Michelle, there is something that I want to ask you Harry, what are the splls that you teach in all of your D.A. meatings

Hello Michelle,

I would like to clarify that although I am a wizard of Hogwarts, I do not yet have a professional license of education at the academy. In short, I don’t teach magic for a living.

I can try to scrounge up my old notes for the spells that were taught during my stay there (it may take a while, each year was a different professor). Were there any spells in particular you were looking for?

Mrs. Weasley threw off her cloak as she ran, freeing her arms. Bellatrix spun on the spot, roaring with laughter at the sight of her new challenger. “NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!” With a swipe of her wand she began to duel. Harry watched with terror and elation as Molly Weasley’s wand slashed and twisted, and Bellatrix Lestrange’s smile faltered and became a snarl. Jets of light flew from both wands, the floor around the witches’ feet became hot and cracked; both women were fighting to kill. [..] Molly’s curse soared beneath Bellatrix’s outstretched arm and hit her squarely in the chest, directly over her heart.

Legilimens A spell to extract memories and feelings from another person, to in essence look through the memories another has.  Levicorus A nonverbal spell to hang a person in the air by one ankle.

Morsmordre A dark spell that causes a dark mark - the sign of Voldemort - to appear. Muffiato A spell that fills the ears of anyone nearby with buzzing, so that conversations are not overheard. Nox A spell to cause darkness, the opposite of Lumos. Interestingly, the name of a fun computer RPG. Obliviate A memory erasing charm that Professor Lockhart was extremely fond of.

Spells & Incantations - Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets

[harry-potter-spells]

I derno about you, but that commentary about Dumbledor is really confusing for me. Will you please fix it? Thanks!

Blagh, sorry. It was on my queue and it was still a draft. I forgot I wasn't done with it yet. I'll make it up to you, Anon! Thanks for the notice :)

[harry-potter-spells]

Professor Dumbledore's Patronus

Animal/Animagus/Form: Phoenix

Emotion/Personality: Albus' patronus is, like his loyal companion, Fawkes, a phoenix. The phoenix is known to burst into flames upon death, only to rise again from the ashes as a chick. Albus' death in the Half-Blood Prince was representative of his uncompromising conviction to do the right thing -- even if it meant certain death; a death that would bring about the birth of sorts. In this case, Albus' death, which lead to Snape assuming the position as headmaster, "gave birth" to a bond of trust between Snape and Voldemort.

Seen/Mentioned: Fawkes was first seen in The Chamber of Secrets in Dumbledore's office when Harry noticed that the bird burst into fiery ashes and half-apologized to Dumbledore for noticing.

Did You Know? Coincidentally, Dumbledore's phoenix's name is similar to Guy Fawkes, the famous rebel now synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot. The rebellion of Guy Fawkes symbolizes, in a way, Dumbledore's rebellion to Voldemort -- such that they would do whatever they know is right, even if it meant dying.

[harry-potter-spells]

Professor Snape's Patronus

Animal/Animagus/Form: Doe

Emotion/Personality: Severus' cold and almost snake-like personality does not exactly match that of a doe's timid and serene characteristics. Those of you who have read all of J.K. Rowling's works already know that Snape's patronus is a doe because of his intense emotion towards Lily Evans -- whose patronus happens to also be a doe.

Seen/Mentioned: In the books

Exact Quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 33:

Snape: " I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter's son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter--" "But this is touching, Severus," said Dumbledore seriously. "Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?" "For him?" shouted Snape. "Expecto Patronum!" From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. "After all this time?" "Always," said Snape.

Did You Know? According to Rowling, Snape is the only Death Eater capable of producing a full patronus, which, like Lily's, is a doe.

[harry-potter-spells]

Professor McGonagall's Patronus

Animal/Animagus/Form: Tabby Cat, grey

Emotion/Personality: Minerva's patronus is, like her animagus form, a cat. Agile and witty, cats are known to be also very canny creatures which says a lot about the personality of the strict and just House Head of Gryffindor.

Seen/Mentioned: In Philosopher's Stone when Professor McGonagall catches Harry and Ron late for her Transfiguration class, she astounds them by transforming into her human form.

Did You Know? Professor McGonagall is one of the few wizards who are capable of using their patronus for its secondary function -- that is to send messages.
