Prior Incantato (prye-OR in-can-TAH-toe)
also: Priori Incantatem
"Reverse Spell Effect"

"prior" L. former, earlier, preceeding + "incantatare" L. to bewitch or enchant

Can be cast as a spell, ("Prior Incantato"), in which case it forces the target wand to emit a ghost image of the last spell it cast. The images can be dispelled using Deletrius.

When two wands are forced to duel that have core material from the same single creature, the result will be "Priori Incantatem," a display in sequence of the last spells one of the wands cast. Which wand will show the spell effect depends on the willpower of the two wizards involved.

• Amos Diggory cast this on Harry's wand to discover whether it had cast the Dark Mark (GF9).

• When Harry and Voldemort duelled, their wands, which share a core of a feather from the same phoenix, were linked in the Priori Incantatem effect (GF36).

  
  

Protean Charm (PRO-tee-an)

"protean" Eng. able to readily assume a different form, from Proteus, a sea god from Greek mythology who could change his shape rapidly

Complex spell that makes something change form.

• Hermione was able to cast a Protean Charm on the fake Galleons the D.A. used during the 1995 - 1996 [Y15 - Y16] school year to pass along the date and time of each meeting. The spell caused the numbers on the members' coins to change when Harry changed the numbers on his coin. TheRavenclaws were all astounded that Hermione, who wasn't in their house, could cast this spell, since it's N.E.W.T. level. Clearly none of them could cast this magic at fifth year level (OP19). Ironically, Hermione got the idea from Voldemort's use of the Death Eaters' Dark Marks as a means of communication.

• Draco Malfoy, in turn, deliberately copied the notion of Hermione's D.A. coins to enchant coins as a means of communication for himself withMadam Rosmerta (HBP27).

  
  

Protego (pro-TAY-go)
"Shield Charm"

"protego" L. to defend

This spell creates a magical barrier that will deflect hexes thrown at the caster.

• Harry learned this spell in his preparations for the third task (GF31).

• Harry used the Shield Charm to defend himself against Snape's Legilimency during Occlumency training and found himself unexpectedly seeing some of Snape's memories (OP26).

• Harry used this spell to defend himself and to stop various Death Eaters from Summoning the prophecy away from him during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries (OP35, OP36).

• Mentioned as Shield Charm in Ministry leaflet (HBP3).

• According to the twins, many adult wizards as of Harry's sixth year cannot cast this spell properly, hence the popularity of the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes "Shield" clothing line (HBP6).

• Ron, grasping at straws, speculates that Moody could have used a Shield Charm against the Killing Curse (DH6).

• Cast by Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and various other wedding guests after Shacklebolt delivered his warning (DH9).

• Cast by Harry to protect Ron from Hermione (DH19).

• Cast by Hermione at the waterfall (DH25).

• Cast by Snape during his duel with McGonagall (DH30).

• Used by Harry at the beginning of his final duel with Voldemort (DH36).

Protego horribilis (pro-TAY-go ho-RIB-i-lis)

"protego" L. to defend + "horribilis" L. "horrible, terrifying"

Presumably a variation of Protego.

• Cast by Flitwick during the battle of Hogwarts (DH30).

Protego totalum (pro-TAY-go TOH-tah-lum)

"protego" L. to defend + "totalum" mediaeval L. "the whole"

Presumably a variation of Protego.

• Hermione cast this along with several other protective enchantments on the campsite in the woods next to the old Quidditch World Cup campgrounds (DH14).

• Casting this spell evidently became part of the routine protective enchantments used on their campsites during the hunt for the Horcruxes, because escaping from the Lovegoods' house, Hermione immediately began running in a circle around her companions, casting this along with other protective enchantments before they set up their tent (DH22).

Quidditch spells

no incantation given

Several charms are used to make the game of Quidditch possible:

• The Quaffle is enchanted to make it fall more slowly than would otherwise be the case. This spell was invented by Daisy Pennifold, hence the modern Quaffle is referred to as a Pennifold Quaffle.

• The Golden Snitch is enchanted to keep it within the bounds of the pitch.

• Bludgers are enchanted to try to knock any and all players off their brooms.

• Dobby the house-elf managed to enchant a Bludger so that it only pursued Harry Potter, eventually managing to break his arm (CS10).

• See also BRAKING CHARM, CUSHIONING CHARM, GRIPPING CHARM.

Quietus (KWY-uh-tus)
reverse: Sonorus

"quietus" L. quiet, peaceful

Reverses the effect of Sonorus, making the caster's voice normal in volume.

• Ludo Bagman used this in conjunction with Sonorus to allow himself to speak to large crowds at the World Cup and at the Triwizard Tournament(GF8).

  
  

Reducio (re-DOO-see-oh)
reverse: Engorgio

"redusen" Middle Eng. diminish, from "reducer" Old Fr. bring back to the source, from "reducere" L. bring, lead

Causes an Engorged object to return to its normal size.

• The fake Moody, who had enlarged a spider with an Engorgement Charm, used this to return it to its normal size (GF14).

• Harry, who had enlarged a spider with an Engorgement Charm, tried to use this to return it to its normal size, but it didn't work (DH20).
