Obviously, there are a LOT of spells in the Harry Potter books. They range from mundane (occulus reparo) to the truly spectacular (expecto patronus!). I thought it would be interesting to make a list of the ten most important – in my opinion, anyway – spells in Harry Potter. In no particular order, here they are:
1) Accio: Basically, the Accio spell is for people too lazy to walk across the room and grab the remote (like me). Also comes in handy when you want a snack but you JUST got in the perfect couch groove with the pillows just right.
2) Expelliarmus: Used to disarm other wizards. Harry used this quite successfully in his tussles with Voldemort.
3) Incendio: Produces fire. We saw Hagrid do this in the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone with his wee little umbrella. I’m thinking that the Incendio spell would come in handy this summer when I go camping.
4) Locomotor: Used to move objects around, i.e., “locomotor couch!” Super useful when you’re moving, I would think.
5) Muffliato: Causes your conversations to be muffled, hence the “muff” in muffliato. I would totally do this in church.
6) Reparo: Repairs broken objects. Can you imagine how much cashola you could rake in with this one? “Sure, I’ll fix your VCR – that’ll be $500. (ten seconds later) All done!”
7) Scougify: Technically, this one is a charm, but I’m putting it in here anyway. You can use Scourgify to clean something, like my bathroom. This little spell alone makes being a wizard worthwhile.
Episkey: Heals minor injuries. Obviously very useful.
9) Geminio: Creates duplicates of objects, i.e., “Geminio raspberry-filled donut!” Much like the Star Trek replicator.
10) Lumos: Creates light. I would totally, TOTALLY create a light show with this one to Pink Floyd songs. Who’s with me?
11)Alohomora:Description: Used to open and/or unlock doors,/but doors can be bewitched so that this spell has no effect
12)Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse):
Description: Causes a jet of green (blue in the 6th film) light, and a rushing noise; the curse causes instant death to the victim although the caster can be interrupted, the victim can dodge the curse, hide behind solid objects (which burst into flame when hit by it), or, if the casting wizard is not sufficiently competent, the curse may be completely ineffective as described by Barty Crouch Jr (acting as Alastor Moody) in Goblet of Fire. It is one of the three Unforgivable Curses; the use of this spell on another human being can earn the caster a life sentence in Azkaban
13)Crucio (Cruciatus Curse):
Inflicts unbearable pain on the recipient of the curse. The effects of the curse depend upon the desires and emotions of the character – to produce the "excruciating" pain implied by the name, one must (according to Bellatrix Lestrange) desire to cause pain purely for its own sake or for fulfilment. The extreme pain inflicted by the curse when cast so – without any apparent evidence of physical harm – makes it uniquely suited as a form of torture. This pain has included the sensations of flaming bones and a head that was split open by crude methods without sedation.[HP4] One of the three Unforgivable Curses.
14)Imperio (Imperius Curse):
Description: Causes the victim of the curse to obey the spoken/unspoken commands of the caster. The experience of being controlled by this curse is described as a complete, wonderful release from any sense of responsibility or worry over one's actions, at the price of one's free will. Resisting the effect of the curse is possible, however, and several individuals have been able to successfully overcome it, including Harry and both of the Crouches, who learn to resist the curse after being subjected to its effects for an extended period. Harry describes the feeling of being the caster as controlling a marionette through a wand (although Harry's particular experience is suspect due to his lack of commitment to casting Unforgivable Curses). One of the three Unforgivable Curses.
15) Wingardium Leviosa (Levitation Charm)
Pronunciation: /wɪŋˈɡɑrdiəm ˌlɛviˈoʊsə/ wing-GAR-dee-əm LEV-ee-OH-sə
Description: Levitates objects.
So! Do you agree with my picks? What do you think are the most important Harry Potter spells?
