First Year Spells
Body-Binding Curse - Petrificus Totalus
A curse that completely, but temporarily, paralyzes the victim. It is relatively simple to dispel, and difficult to pull off against an experienced wizard, but the results are often worth the trouble.
Counterspell - Finite Incantatem, Finite, or Nonverbal
Counters a spell as it is being cast, or cancels an ongoing magical effect. Though taught at an early age, the actual effects of this spell are heavily dependent on the power and skill of the wizard casting it - it is widely used in everything from dueling to medicine, but has relatively limited utility to novices.
Hair Loss Curse - Unknown
A curse, popular among children, which causes the victim to temporarily shed his hair.
Hot-Air Charm - Nonverbal
Releases a jet of hot air from the end of the wand. Useful for drying clothes, melting snow, and other simple tasks.
Leg-Locking Curse - Locomotor Mortis or Tuimeihuan
Locks the legs of a victim together, preventing them from moving independently of each other.
Levitation Charm - Wingardium Leviosa
A basic charm mainly used for instruction purposes that causes an object to levitate at the caster's discretion. Very skilled wizards sometimes find creative uses for it.
Lumos Charm - Lumos, Lianglang, or Chhalla
Creates a bright light at the end of the caster's wand, which will persist until it is dismissed or specifically countered.
Nox Charm - Nox, Heian, or Tuta
Dispels a Lumos charm.
Scouring Charm - Scourgify or Caxiyi
Vigorously cleans the target - which can be a living creature, though this is considered somewhat cruel.

Used to draw material such as liquids or dust off of a surface. Often used for cleaning wounds.

Causes the victim to vomit slugs uncontrollably for several hours. A favorite of the immature and chronically unemployed.

Unlocking Charm - Alohomora

Second Year Spells

Turns invisible ink visible.
Blindfolding Spell - Obscuro
Creates a blindfold over a victim's eyes. It may be physically or magically removed.
Disarming Charm - Expelliarmus
Causes the target's wand to fly from their hand. With sufficient power behind it, a Disarming Charm may throw a victim back forcefully. Disarming Charms are mutually off-setting - when cast against each other, they generally deflect. The Disarming Charm is also an effective counter to many spells.
Flagrate - Flagrate
Creates fiery marks in the wake of a wand - can be used to leave markings or writing on objects or in the air.
Four-Point Spell - The command 'point me' in any language
The caster is able to discern the true cardinal directions.

Packing Charm - The command 'pack' in any language, or nonverbal
Packs luggage at the direction of the caster, generally directed with the wand.
Repairing Charm - Reparo
Causes a broken object to piece itself back together. In the case of containers, this will not replace anything that was held within. Wands, and most other magical items, can not be repaired in this manner.
Serpensortia Curse - Serpensortia
Conjures a large snake which will attack anything (other than the caster) within a short radius. A favorite spell among young Slytherins.
Shielding Charm - Protego, Dunbihu, or K'irara
Creates a shield from the caster's wand which deflects jinxes, hexes, and curses. The strength of this spell is directly connected to the skill and talent of the wizard, and stronger versions can protect against very advanced curses - or even reflect failed jinxes back against the attacker. Other advanced uses of the spell include protecting an area from outside harm (Protego Totalum); there are as many advanced variations as there are wizards to think them up.
Tickling Charm - Rictusempra
The victim experiences tickling sensations all over the body, a very distracting condition.
Third Year Spells
Anti-Boggart Charm - Riddikulus
A spell used in combating Boggarts, which causes the fearful image to appear in a far less threatening - and usually humorous - form.
Cheering Charm - Unknown
Causes the target to become happy - heavy-handed or excessive use can cause uncontrollable laughing fits, or even prolonged manic episodes.
Colour-Changing Charm - Unknown
Used to change the color of an object. Some wizards also use it for cosmetic purposes.
Dancing Jinx - Tarantallegra
Causes the victim to dance uncontrollably until dispelled, which can prove highly inconvenient for clumsy or unsuspecting individuals.
Engorgement Charm - Engorgio
Causes an object to swell in size. This does work on living creatures, and is a popular charm for use in trick candies, among other things.
Ferula - Ferula
A simple medical spell, which bandages and splints a broken limb.
Flame-Freezing Charm - Unknown
Protects a subject from harm from fires, a key component in the creation of Floo powder. Notably, this charm is insufficient to protect a victim from Fiendfyre.
Impervius Charm - Impervius
Renders an object - often an article of clothing - impermeable to many substances and outside forces, including water. Classically used for weatherproofing.
Locomotor Charm - Locomotor
Causes a specified object to move at the discretion of the caster, usually directed by movements of the wand.
Reducing Charm - Reducio
Reduces an object expanded by the Engorgement Charm back to normal size, or causes an object (or creature) to shrink to smaller than normal size.
Stinging Hex - Unknown
Causes the victim to suffer an intense and painful stinging sensation, which - much like real stings - causes swollen red welts to appear over the surface of the skin.
Unbreakable Charm - Nonverbal
Causes a mundane object to become unbreakable by physical means, though strong magic can still destroy it.
Fourth Year Spells
Anti-Hexing Charm - Salvio Hexia
A charm used to temporarily protect an area against jinxes and hexes. It is not infallible, but does dramatically reduce the power of minor to moderate offensive spells for a short time.
Banishing Charm - Oicca, Otivni, or Qingyao
Opposite of the summoning charm, this banishes the object it is performed on. Like the summoning charm, objects held by someone else are generally impervious.
Bucktooth Hex - Densaugeo
Causes the victim's teeth to grow at an alarming rate. Though it usually isn't dangerous, it can sometimes have unseemly complications.
Episkey - Episkey
A simple healing charm, capable of restoring minor injuries. More serious afflictions require greater magic.
Flocking Charm - Avis or Pisqu

Furnunculus Curse - Furnunculus
Causes the victim to break out in extremely painful boils, which may persist for several hours unless tended to.

Causes the subject's hair to thicken. It does have unscrupulous uses - repeated or irresponsible use can cause hair to grow out of control.

Jelly-Legs Jinx - Unknown
Causes the victim's legs to wobble uncontrollably, rendering movement difficult or impossible for a short time.
Incarcerous - Incarcerous
Binds a victim with magically conjured ropes.
Obliteration Charm - Nonverbal
Used to eliminate things one doesn't wish others to see - specifically, things such as foot prints, writing, and the like - while leaving the surroundings intact and undisturbed.
Quieting Charm - Quietus
Returns the volume of a magically enhanced voice to normal. Serves as the counter to the Sonorous Charm.
Reductor Curse - Reducto
Causes a solid object to explode spectacularly. Famously used to destroy doors, sections of walls, priceless Fabergé artwork, and antique furniture.
Severing Charm - Diffindo
Used to cut inanimate objects (the spell does not appear to function on living flesh), often used in tailoring.
Sonorous Charm - Sonorus
Magically amplifies the caster's voice, allowing him to be heard over a great distance, or over the roar of a crowd - essentially a magical microphone.
Stunning Spell - Stupefy, Checui, or Musphasqa
Debate rages as to whether this is a charm, a jinx, or a hex - but it is considered one of the basic dueling spells. It temporarily stuns an opponent, rendering them inert for a few precious seconds.
Summoning Charm - Accio, Invito, or Yaoqing
Summons an inanimate object to the caster. Objects held by someone else are generally impossible to summon in this manner.

Jelly-Fingers Jinx - Unknown
Causes a victim's fingers to become jelly-like and largely useless, unable to effectively grip or manipulate things, for a short time.

Locks a latch, preventing it from being opened by nonmagical means. Colloportus also prevents the function of Alohomora.

Patronus Charm - Expecto patronum
Summons a patronus from the caster's wand. This is a very complicated spell, often taking years to truly master. Students rarely manage a full-fledged, corporeal patronus before their seventh year.
Protean Charm - Nonverbal
Allows magical copies of an object to be modified by modifying the original. Most famously used by Hermione Granger to share the times of DA meetings.
Releasing Charm - Relashio
Forces someone or something binding the caster to release - it can break the grip of a hand or unfasten chains or ropes. It has also been used as a defensive charm, and in skilled hands can have concussive effects.
Rennervate - Rennervate
A moderately complex healing charm, which causes an unconscious subject to awaken. Some conditions, such as powerful magically-induced unconsciousness, are non-responsive.
Silencing Charm - Silencio, Wushengxu, or Upalla

Muffling Charm - Muffliato or Cuoshengyin
Prevents nearby people from hearing a conversation.

When an object bearing this curse is touched, it will self-duplicate, creating dozens of worthless copies. A common theft deterrent.
Hardening Charm - Duro, Raqtaq, or Gangying
Hardens an object considerably, though it does not work on living flesh. The uses - and double entendres - are endless!
Levicorpus Hex - Levicorpus or Nonverbal
Levitates and dangles a victim by the ankles, a spell that has its roots in hazing rituals nearly two centuries old.
Liberacorpus Charm - Liberacorpus or Nonverbal
The counter-charm to the Levicorpus Hex, this gently returns a dangled victim to the ground.
Memory Charm - Obliviate or Wangjiyi
Causes a subject to forget a particular event; may also me used to cause extensive memory loss, which is usually impossible to recover.

Caterwauling Charm - Unknown
An alarm spell that lets off a high-pitched shriek whenever someone crosses its border.

Cutting Curse - Sectumsempra
Cuts in an arc determined by the path of the caster's wand. Wounds inflicted with this spell do not heal normally, and are resistant to simple magical healing, though advanced healing spells usually show good results. It is not unheard of for sixth and seventh year students to learn this spell, though it is considered very dark magic, and the use of it on another student would certainly lead to severe punishment.
Deletrius - Deletrius
Used to remove the evidence of prior spells cast with a wand. While not actually taught at Hogwarts, it has become very common in the student body, with most students fifth year and above capable of casting it.
Disillusionment Charm - Unknown

Dolohov's Curse - Unknown
Causes severe internal injuries to the victim.

Fidelius Charm - Unknown
Designates an individual a "Secret Keeper", rendering them the only person capable of sharing one specific secret entrusted to them.
Fiendfyre - Nonverbal
Conjures extremely dangerous, destructive, and mostly uncontrollable fire. Fiendfyre is not extinguished by water, and has no loyalty to the caster. It has, in the past, been used to destroy even powerful artifacts. Though the use of Fiendfyre is not taught to students, it is conceivably possible for upperclassmen to discover the spell - likely to their immense detriment.
Imperius Curse - Imperio
The victim is beholden to the whims of the caster, performing every command - spoken or unspoken - to the best of his abilities. While some have shown the ability to resist, it is exceedingly difficult, as being under the effect of the curse is a truly blissful experience. One of the Unforgivable Curses.
Killing Curse - Avada Kedavra
Kills the victim. Though there is no known counter or blocking spell, the curse follows a linear arc, and must physically strike the victim. Furthermore, it requires a genuine desire to kill, without which it is entirely ineffective. One of the Unforgivable Curses.
Legilemency - Legilemens
The incantation for intrusive legilemency - delving deep into a victim's mind and simply taking the information you need. The use of legilemency is generally frowned upon, and rarely learned.
Portkey Spell - Portus
Converts an object into a portkey. The caster must be intimately familiar with both locations the portkey will connect to. Creating a portkey is very difficult and advanced transfiguration, usually reserved for the brightest of wizards.
Repelling Charm - Repello
Repels an undesired object, individual, or group from approaching an area - usually defined in the casting of the spell (for example, Muggle-Repelling Charms are commonly used in the wizarding world). Though not infallible, it generally makes those subject to it have no desire to investigate a particular place. The efficacy of this spell against talented wizards and powerful magical creatures is questionable.
Stealth-Censoring Spell - Unknown
Protects an area temporarily from magical means of stealth, rendering most invisibility cloaks and charms useless.
Taboo Jinx - Unknown
Places a taboo on a specific word, allowing the caster to find any individual who speaks it. Obviously, this could backfire dramatically. A wizard who placed a taboo on the word 'and' would quickly go mad from over-stimulation.
Tongue-Tying Curse - Unknown
Prevents the subject from revealing a specific piece of information, causing his tongue to twist and contort if he tries to break secrecy.
Body-Binding Curse - Petrificus Totalus
A curse that completely, but temporarily, paralyzes the victim. It is relatively simple to dispel, and difficult to pull off against an experienced wizard, but the results are often worth the trouble.
Counterspell - Finite Incantatem, Finite, or Nonverbal
Counters a spell as it is being cast, or cancels an ongoing magical effect. Though taught at an early age, the actual effects of this spell are heavily dependent on the power and skill of the wizard casting it - it is widely used in everything from dueling to medicine, but has relatively limited utility to novices.

Memory Charm - Obliviate or Wangjiyi
Causes a subject to forget a particular event; may also me used to cause extensive memory loss, which is usually impossible to recover.
Revealing Charm - Homenum Revelio

Cruciatus Curse - Crucio
Causes unbearable pain on the victim without leaving lasting traces of physical harm. Prolonged exposure to the agony of the Cruciatus Curse has been known to cause permanent insanity and brain damage. One of the Unforgivable Curses.
Cutting Curse - Sectumsempra
Cuts in an arc determined by the path of the caster's wand. Wounds inflicted with this spell do not heal normally, and are resistant to simple magical healing, though advanced healing spells usually show good results. It is not unheard of for sixth and seventh year students to learn this spell, though it is considered very dark magic, and the use of it on another student would certainly lead to severe punishment.
Deletrius - Deletrius
Used to remove the evidence of prior spells cast with a wand. While not actually taught at Hogwarts, it has become very common in the student body, with most students fifth year and above capable of casting it.
Disillusionment Charm - Unknown
Used to conceal a person or object. It can also be used as part of the complex process of crafting an invisibility cloak.

Fiendfyre - Nonverbal
Conjures extremely dangerous, destructive, and mostly uncontrollable fire. Fiendfyre is not extinguished by water, and has no loyalty to the caster. It has, in the past, been used to destroy even powerful artifacts. Though the use of Fiendfyre is not taught to students, it is conceivably possible for upperclassmen to discover the spell - likely to their immense detriment.
Imperius Curse - Imperio
The victim is beholden to the whims of the caster, performing every command - spoken or unspoken - to the best of his abilities. While some have shown the ability to resist, it is exceedingly difficult, as being under the effect of the curse is a truly blissful experience. One of the Unforgivable Curses.
Killing Curse - Avada Kedavra
Kills the victim. Though there is no known counter or blocking spell, the curse follows a linear arc, and must physically strike the victim. Furthermore, it requires a genuine desire to kill, without which it is entirely ineffective. One of the Unforgivable Curses.
Legilemency - Legilemens
The incantation for intrusive legilemency - delving deep into a victim's mind and simply taking the information you need. The use of legilemency is generally frowned upon, and rarely learned.
Portkey Spell - Portus
Converts an object into a portkey. The caster must be intimately familiar with both locations the portkey will connect to. Creating a portkey is very difficult and advanced transfiguration, usually reserved for the brightest of wizards.
Repelling Charm - Repello
Repels an undesired object, individual, or group from approaching an area - usually defined in the casting of the spell (for example, Muggle-Repelling Charms are commonly used in the wizarding world). Though not infallible, it generally makes those subject to it have no desire to investigate a particular place. The efficacy of this spell against talented wizards and powerful magical creatures is questionable.
Stealth-Censoring Spell - Unknown
Protects an area temporarily from magical means of stealth, rendering most invisibility cloaks and charms useless.
Taboo Jinx - Unknown
Places a taboo on a specific word, allowing the caster to find any individual who speaks it. Obviously, this could backfire dramatically. A wizard who placed a taboo on the word 'and' would quickly go mad from over-stimulation.
Tongue-Tying Curse - Unknown
Prevents the subject from revealing a specific piece of information, causing his tongue to twist and contort if he tries to break secrecy.
