WereVerse Universe Baby!
Dr. Hugh Fox III 
did you forget “sectumsempra?”
I don’t know this spell! What does it do? I can add it to the list if I know what it does.
it hurts or gives pain to an opponent. the half blood prince(snape) made it. and harry unintentially makes draco bleed by this spell, when in a panic attacking him.
Tergeo and Episkey.
Tergeo clears liquids away, Episkey is used to heal small wounds.
Thanks for the info! I will add the spells to the list right away!
sectumsempra causes slashes to appear over the victim’s body which bleed profusely.
dont forget Protago the reversing spell which reverses the effect of the spell used on you back at the man or women who casted it!!!
Thanks for the help!
You forgot diffindo,scourgify,genimio,erecto,and expulso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info. What do the spells do?
What about knox? It extinguishes the light created by lumos.
Thanks. I am going to assume readers will look at the comments to get more info.
And lumos maximos lights a whole room.
Thanks again!
what about muggletum repelio (repels muggles), protego horribelum (shield that surrounds a building), and anapneo (makes a person breath).
Thanks for the info!

Glad to hear it!
You forgot Legimens, Snape uses it to look into harry’s mind
Diffindo splits seams, erecto erects an object like a tent, scourgify is a cleaning charm, cleans surfaces, Gemineo is a duplicating charm, and expulso is a explosion spell. Sorry about double post
theres also Spongify, ( the Cushioning charm. it makes ground soft if falling or they use on broomsticks to make it more comfortble) Carpe Retractum –used to pull objects closer, (similar to accio but it has more of a rope look)Glacius – creates ice, Draconifors – turns statue dragons into real ones, Lapifors – turns small objects and creatues into cute bunny rabbits, Reparo fix an object and Snufflifors – turns books into mice. most of these i got from the game.:)
oh yes, theres also Aguamenti ¬- creates water
Herbivicus: Plant Growing Spell
and
Ventus: Used to summon whirlwinds 🙂
Thanks for the feedback! Just saw Deathly Hollows and liked the movie!
you forgot , Jelly legs jinx : a charm that makes one’s legs wobble like jelly
Lumos solarum : used to force Devils snare to withdraw from someone
Reparo : repairs to normal charm { fixes broken stuff }
Great comments!
You forgot Levicorpus which picks up a body. Bombarda makes an explosion. Flagrate allows the user the write in the air with fire. Fera Verta changes small animals into goblets. Renneverate which is the correct spelling of “Enneverate” Commom mistake
Thanks!
Aresto Momentum is used to stop or slow down moving objects….dumbledore used it to stop harry from falling…

has anyone posted octo repairo? hermione uses it to fix harry’s glasses twice… i didnt read thru the comments so i dont kno if it’s been posted already or not.
Sorry I just rewatched the movie, it’s oculus repairo.
not all spells
Not even if I rewrite the list and include the ones mentioned in the comments? I was kind of thinking of doing this.
Your rite still a lot more from the books
I think this is among the most vital information for me.
And i’m glad reading your article. But wanna remark on few general things, The website style is ideal, the articles is really great : D.
Good job, cheers
Hi, I think you forgot Aquamenti which creates water, sometimes enough to fill a cup, other times in a jet as a form of attack.
sorry that’s Aguamenti
Thanks!
I am a huge fan of HP so I even made a wand!XD
That’s great!
Misss bombarda And reparo
Thanks!
You should add “Oscausi”
It removes the opponent’s mouth making them speechless.
Young Leta Lestrange used it on a Griffindor
Congratulations! You have added the word oscausi with your comment!
YOU FORGOT EAT SLUGS
Comprehensive was not the goal. Yuck why would I eat slugs. Well people do eat escargot and would be good food on the long voyage across the sea of fire. Filled with pollutants? I do not know but better than starving and means must be adapted to circumstance. LOL! Oh I am quite done with Facebook and well this is as good a place as any to communicate! Hello fellow evolved person! I build a school and everything goes according to plan well so far but who knows? I might have a heart attack tomorrow or worse! I don’t want worse but what I want who cares? Well I do but besides me?
