Reducto (re-DUC-toh)
"Reductor Curse"

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

Blasts solid objects out of the caster's path.

• Snape used this on rosebushes at the Yule Ball after his talk with Karkaroff (GF23)

• Harry learned this spell as part of his preparation for the third task. He used it to blast a hole in the hedge (GF31)

• A Reductor Curse during D.A. training reduced a table to dust (OP19)

• Used by the various D.A. members at the beginning of the battle of the Department of Mysteries to smash shelves in the Hall of Prophecy as a diversion (OP35).

Reductor Curse
See REDUCTO.

Refilling Charm

incantation unknown

Causes the target container to refill itself.

• Taught in sixth-year Charms (HBP22). It is not clear how this differs from a Conjuring Spell, which is a Transfiguration.

• Harry used this successfully for the first time to refill the cups/glasses used by Slughorn and Hagrid at Aragog's wake (HBP22).

Relashio

"rilascio" It. - to release, to relax, to issue

Releases a jet of fiery sparks. Underwater, this spell fires a jet of boiling water.

• Harry used this spell against the Grindylows during the second task (GF26).

• Note that this incantation was given a rather different result in HBP10 when Ogden used it to knock Marvolo backward - away from Merope, whom he was attempting to strangle. This is not consistent with the previous usage of this incantation.

  The incantation was again given a different result when Hermione used it to force the chains to withdraw into the arms of the chained chair (DH13) and when Ron attempted to use it on Pettigrew's silver hand (although this last didn't work) (DH23).

  Harry used this to release the dragon from its chains in Gringotts' high-security area (DH25).

Reluctant Reversers, A Charm To Cure

no incantation given

Broom charm.

• This spell is on page twelve of the Handbook of Do-It-Yourself Broom Care (PA2).
