Top 10 Harry Potter Spells We Wish Were Real


in the Harry Potter universe you can use
a spell for just about anything
example oakiness we’re pattern welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Harry Potter spells
for this list we’re looking primarily at
the spells or charms that were used in
the Harry Potter films you’ll pay for
that one Malfoy eight slugs although we
took what happened in the novels into
consideration oh honey I take you the
custom another bucket turn number ten
Accio the summoning charm one of the
best features of magic is that it
essentially eliminates all manual labor
there is perhaps no better example of
that than the Accio charm which allows
the user to call for an object which is
immediately sent to them Accio Firebolt
of course this charm doesn’t work for
absolutely everything as Hermione
discovers when trying to summon one of
Voldemort’s Horcruxes a keyhole crooks
the object also needs to be within
reasonable distance of the caster and
needs to be a material object still this
would be an incredibly useful spell to
have at our disposal number nine protego
the shield charm protego creates a
barrier that protects or shields an area
or person from harmful spells and can
even rebound curses back against their
caster my father was a great man
Oh father what a swag my god the shield
charm is one of the more useful spells
in a duel as only a handful of curses
can penetrate it under the law as
creatures of near human intelligence
– the spell is notably used by teachers
and students to protect Hogwarts from
Voldemort and his Death Eaters during
the final installment of the series
number eight when Guardium Leviosa the
levitation charm Wingardium Leviosa off
you go that one of the spells all
wizards and witches learn at a young age
this levitation charm was made famous by
Ron’s horrific pronunciation of the name
in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s
Stone
Wingardium Leviosa
stop stop stop you’re going to take some
of iron
unfortunately this spell does not work
on humans but it does allow users to
lift and carry heavy objects without any
physical strain God you do this spell
would sure come in handy when moving
furniture around a house valium love
Moussa number seven
stupefy the stunning spell stupefy is
one of the best attacking spells and is
frequently used in a battle or duel
its intent is to stun your opponent as
opposed to harming them and often leaves
the victim unconscious because it does
not cause injury or death it is not
commonly used by Death Eaters but was a
staple of Harry’s arsenal and was one of
the spells he taught to the members of
Dumbledore’s Army in Harry Potter and
the order of the Phoenix
number six
Petrificus Totalus the full body bind
curse justice one of the attacking
curses used by young witches and wizards
who are just learning how to duel this
spell leaves your opponent in a
full-body bind that’s for my father
until you ride back to London it was
used by hermione on neville longbottom
in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s
Stone to prevent him from interfering
with the trio as they attempted to
retrieve the stone at the end of the
film try focus Titanic the effects of
the curse can be lifted with a simple
counter curse unlike petrification which
requires a special draught made of
Mandrake roots
number five Sectumsempra the sever
forever curse this nasty curse was first
discovered by Harry in the potions
textbook belonging to the
self-proclaimed half-blood Prince we
have a hood of the scope Sectumsempra
without knowing what it does Harry uses
it on Draco Malfoy and we soon discover
how brutal the curse is as Draco begins
to bleed profusely from his chest
Drako is saved at the last minute by
Snape who we later discover was actually
the creator of the curse George Weasley
would later lose his left ear to the
curse and due to the spell severely dark
nature his injury could not be repaired
number four crucio the Cruciatus curse
the torture curse Toshio they don’t call
crucio an unforgivable curse for nothing
while we considered imperio another
unforgivable curse for this list kirio
we decided to go with the spell that
causes excruciating pain instead
thataboy Harry the Christian is curse is
commonly used by Death Eaters and while
it doesn’t physically harm its opponent
it significantly stimulates the person’s
pain receptors to the point of extreme
agony it was famously used by Bellatrix
Lestrange and three other Death Eaters
on Neville Longbottom parents who were
tortured to the point of insanity Death
Eater and Bellatrix Lestrange used to
Cruciatus curse on my parents number
three
expelliarmus the disarming charm
expelliarmus
we know what you’re thinking the spell
used by Harry to kill Lord Voldemort is
only number three technically it was
Voldemort’s own curse that killed him
when the Elder Wand backfired on him
expelling Armus was used by Harry
throughout the series and is without a
doubt his signature spell expose this
spell either disarms your opponent or
sends them flying backwards
incapacitating them expelliarmus
it’s used by witches and wizards just
learning to duel and by highly-trained
magic users alike and is one of the most
useful and popular spells in the
Wizarding World
come out of turn number two expecto
patronum the Patronus charm
this charm is incredibly difficult to
master but extremely powerful and is
most commonly used to fight off
Dementors although the order of the
Phoenix has been known to use them as a
form of communication expecto patronum
the caster is required to think of their
happiest memory before casting the charm
which creates an energy force that takes
the form of a spirit guardian in the
house a singing can expect to patrol it
played a central role in Harry Potter
and the Prisoner of Azkaban as Harry
attempted to overcome his fear of the
Dementors in one of the more iconic
scenes of the franchise harry casts an
enormous Patronus charm which fights off
dozens of Dementors who were attempting
to perform the Dementors kiss on Sirius
Black expecto patronum before we unveil
our number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions maximum
maxximum weirdo
Incendia number one Avada Kedavra
the killing curse the last of the three
unforgivable curses
this spell shoots a flash of green light
and causes instantaneous death unless
your name is Harry Potter considered to
be Lord Voldemort’s signature spell it
requires exceptional skill to be
performed correctly it’s used several
times throughout the series including by
Severus Snape on Albus Dumbledore
Avada Kedavra it takes the top spot on
our list not only because of how
powerful it is but also because Harry’s
survival of the curse set in motion the
events of the entire series
