It's A Charmed Life |
| Mmmm...one of the things I love best about Harry is how for 400 pages I can also have magical powers; I wave the wands, cast the spells, recite the chants, make the potions... So, for those out there who likewise need magic in their daily lives, I have constructed here for your enjoyment a list of "known" charms and spells... |

Charm |
Action |
| "Lumos!" | --creates a light at the end of one's wand |
| "Nox!" | --just the opposite of "Lumos": it makes the light at the end of one's wand go out |
| "Expelliarmus!" | --Disarming Charm: causes an object held by another to fly out of his/her hands |
| "Obliviate!" | --Lockhart's infamous Memory Charm: causes a person to forget either certain things or everything depending on intention |
| "Rictusempra!" | --Tickling Charm (self-evident) |
| "Tarantallegra!" | --causes a person to dance furiously |
| "Finite Incantatem!" | --stops all pending charms |
| "Serpensortia!" | --causes a snake to appear |
| "Expecto Patronum!" | --summons a Patronus, especially useful in warding off Dementors (really just about the only thing that works against them) |
| "Mobilicorpus" | --levitates a (presumably) inert or unconscious person |
| "Ferula" | --bandages/puts on a splint onto a wounded appendage |
| "Dissendium!" | --rids the Marauder's Map of all traces of its true nature |
| "Riddikulus!" | --gets rid of a boggart when accompanied with a thought that makes the boggart's form ridiculous to the wizard |
| "Mobiliarbus!" | --moves a heavy object |
| "Impervius!" | --makes glass impervious to water |
| "Orchideous!" | --causes a bunch of flowers to come out from the end of a wand |
| "Sonorous!" | --when said pointing one's wand at one's throat, causes one's voice to be magnified hugely |
| "IMPERIO" | --the Imperius Curse (one of the Unforgiveable Curses), allows one wizard to control another wizard's actions |
| "ENGORGIO" | --the Cruciatus Curse (U.C.), causes another person intense pain |
| "AVADA KEDAVRA" | --the most powerful of the Unforgiveable Curses: in the hands of the powerful wizard who can weild it, it kills its victim (aka Killing Curse) |
