| because it is non-deterministic, i just did and got 50 spells. prompt:
finding every spell in all Harry Potter books in the first 4 books, only the officially documented spells across those 4 books, there are 50, without using websearch Here's my best compilation from memory, organized by book. I'll be upfront: getting to exactly 50 is tricky without cross-referencing, so some might be debatable or I might miss a couple. Here goes: --- *Book 1 - Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone* 1. *Lumos* - produces light
2. *Nox* - extinguishes Lumos
3. *Alohomora* - unlocks doors
4. *Wingardium Leviosa* - levitation
5. *Petrificus Totalus* - full body-bind

20. *Riddikulus* - repels a Boggart
21. *Waddiwasi* - shoots objects at target
22. *Impervius* - waterproofing charm
23. *Dissendium* - opens secret passage
24. *Ferula* - conjures bandages/splint
25. *Mobilicorpus* - moves a body
26. *Lumos Maxima* - intense light *Book 4 - Goblet of Fire* 27. *Accio* - summoning charm
28. *Avada Kedavra* - killing curse
29. *Crucio* - Cruciatus curse (torture)
30. *Imperio* - Imperius curse (control)
31. *Stupefy* - stunning spell
32. *Engorgio* - enlarges target
33. *Reducio* - shrinks target
34. *Sonorus* - amplifies voice
35. *Quietus* - reverses Sonorus
36. *Morsmordre* - conjures the Dark Mark
37. *Priori Incantatem* - reveals last spell cast
38. *Deletrius* - erases magical residue
39. *Densaugeo* - enlarges teeth
40. *Furnunculus* - causes boils
41. *Impedimenta* - slows/stops target

44. *Relashio* - releases sparks/grip
45. *Orchideous* - conjures flowers
46. *Avis* - conjures birds

48. *Ennervate* - revives stunned person
49. *Protego* - shield charm
50. *Conjunctivitis Curse* - affects eyesight (Krum on the dragon) --- A few caveats: some of these (like Lumos Maxima, Homorphus, Peskipiksi Pesternomi) are borderline since they're either mentioned rather than properly cast, or might be film additions that bleed into memory. The Conjunctivitis Curse is described but its incantation isn't explicitly given in the text. And Protego might technically first appear with its incantation in Book 5 during DA practice rather than Book 4. If you want, I can turn this into a spreadsheet or document with columns for spell name, effect, who casts it, and which chapter. |
