ENCYCLOPEDIA of HP-VERSE(NOTE on PG-36 PLZ CHECK) - Page 30

Orchideous (or-KID-ee-us)

"Orchideae" L. name for the orchid plant family

Conjures a bouquet of flowers out of the end of a wand.

• Mr. Ollivander used this spell to test Fleur's wand at the Weighing of the Wands (GF18).

• Tom Riddle "produced a bunch of roses from nowhere" for Hepzibah Smith, which was either sleight of hand or a non-verbal spell, possibly a spell similar to Orchideous (HBP20)

• See CONJURING SPELLS.

Pack

"pack!"

A spell that causes items to assemble themselves into a trunk.

• Tonks used this spell to help Harry pack his school trunk when he was leaving the Dursleys' house. She said she wasn't very good at housework spells and that her mother used to be able to even make the socks fold themselves up together. Tonks' version was a bit messier, but it certainly got the job done quickly (OP3).

Patronus

A silvery-white, conjured creature created by using the Patronus Charm. The Patronus is used against Dementors and Lethifolds.

• Harry's Patronus is a stag (like his father's Animagus form) (PA21, OP1).

• Andros the Invincible is alleged to have been the only wizard known to have produced a Patronus the size of a giant (fw)

• Aberforth Dumbledore's Patronus is a goat (DH28).

• Albus Dumbledore's Patronus is a phoenix (DH20, JKR)

• Hermione's Patronus is an otter and Cho's is a swan (OP27). Seamus at first wasn't sure what his was, just that it was hairy; it turned out to be a fox (OP27, DH32).

• Luna Lovegood's Patronus is a hare (DH32).

• Ernie Macmillan's Patronus is a boar (DH32).

• Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus is a lynx (DH8).

• Severus Snape's Patronus is a doe (DH33).

• Dolores Umbridge's Patronus is a cat (see) (DH13).

• Ron's Patronus is a Jack Russell terrier (JKR, DH32).

• Arthur Weasley's Patronus is a weasel (DH7, DH9).

• A Patronus can be commanded by the caster to attack. Harry controlled his and told it to attack each Dementor in turn when they attacked him and Dudley in the alley near Privet Drive (OP1).

• See EXPECTO PATRONUM.

• Flavius Belby survived a Lethifold attack by casting a Patronus Charm against it (fw/51, FB)

• A Patronus can also appear as a shapeless silvery mist, but when cast correctly, it forms a "corporeal Patronus," which means it takes the form of an actual creature (corporeal means having a physical form, from "corpus" L. for body). (OP8)

• After a severe emotional upheaval, a witch's or wizard's Patronus may change form (HBP16); this happened to Tonks after Sirius' death, when her Patronus seems to have taken the shape of a wolf (HBP8).

Patronus Charm (pa-TROH-nus)

"patronus" Mediaeval L. patron saint

See EXPECTO PATRONUM.

pepper breath

no incantation given

This charm gives the target person fiery hot breath.

• Harry, when researching spells to use against a dragon, decided against this one (GF20).

Permanent Sticking Charm

no incantation given

Spell that magically fastens one thing to another. It is extremely difficult to remove anything fastened with a Permanent Sticking Charm.

• Both the portrait of Sirius' mother and the tapestry showing the Black family tree were fastened to the wall with Permanent Sticking Charms. As a result, the members of the Order couldn't remove them from the walls (OP6).

• The enchanted portrait in the Prime Minister's office could not be removed from the wall by Muggle means, so it may have a Permanent Sticking Charm on the back (HBP1).

• Used by Sirius Black to put up Muggle posters, Gryffindor banners, and so on in his room at number twelve, Grimmauld Place before he left home (DH10).

• See FIXING CHARM
