Top 20 Most Useful Spells from Harry Potter

It's a dangerous world out there and you need to know how to disarm your attackers. It works sort of like a muggle "stun gun." However, as Harry learned from Remus Lupin, in serious times you need to attack with more force.

This spell summons things to you. Just say "accio" and the thing you want summoned, and it will fly over from wherever it is. Accio beer!

why not use it!!!! Its one of the unforgivable curses

Don't you wish you could just make people forget something sometimes? With this spell you can wipe out memories from someone else's mind. It's great if you've done something embarrassing at a party and don't want it remembered later.

This spell can open just about any door, window or other locked object. It's terribly useful. However, as George and Fred Weasley say in HP Chamber of Secrets, it is good to learn the "muggle trade" of manual lock-picking ... you never know when you might need it.

This blasting charm causes everything in its path to be blown up in flames.

Sadly, this kind of boring spell is probably the most useful. You just point at something that is broken and with a swish of the wand, it's fixed. It's certainly helped Harry out with his glasses on several occasions.

Who needs health insurance when this spell can instantly heal you if you've been brutally slashed and are now bleeding to death?

The power to make things bigger. For some reason, I just imagine using this at restaurants with small portions.

Creates a magical forcefield between you and your enemies. Hermione used this in Deathly Hallows to protest their campsite from intruders. I'd just want to use it for door-to-door salesmen and Jehovah's Witnesses.

Meant to be used to get rid of soul-sucking dementors, Harry once accidentally used this on Draco Malfoy when he was pretending to be a dementor in order to psych Harry out during a quidditch game. But Harry sure showed him. One of my favorite scenes in the HP films is when Harry is watching himself and Sirius being attacked by dementors and then he realizes that he is the one who must conjure the spell. He stands up and shouts at the top of his lungs, "EXPECTO .... PATRONUM!" and a huge expanse of silver lights bursts out of his wand.

This spell produces a jet of water from your wand, perfect if someone has set your robes on fire.

An excellent spell for finding things that may have rolled under the couch, this charm allows you to lift heavy objects with the flick of a wand.

This is one of the three banned curses, but it is terribly useful if not completely immoral. The imperious curse allows you to control the actions of another. When someone is under the imperious curse they must follow the orders of another wizard. Many wizards have done You-Know-Who's bidding under the imperious curse.

Kills anything instantly and is an unforgivable curse. Sounds cool.

This difficult spell allows the caster to enter the mind and thoughts of another person.

Creates bandages and a splint ... again, who needs health insurance?

Excellent if you don't want to be overheard, this spell keeps people from being able to eavesdrop on your conversation.

This powerful spell causes people and objects to be frozen in space.

Reveals if there are any other human beings near you.

This useful spell sets things on fire.

destroys everything. ok mostly everything

immobilises enemy, only eyes can move

This causes blood wounds to the opponent, created by Snape (Harry uses on Malloy in Half blood prince

An excellent prank, or a useful means of transporting the injured, this spell lifts people up so that they can be carried along in the air.

Instant death awaits your opponent. it is an unforgivable curse

Nox is the opposite of Lumos and puts the light out of your wand after casting it. It is a very basic spell the you would learn in your first year at Hogwarts.

Flipendo is very useful during duels and knocks your opponent off of their feet. It may sound almost harmless, but it really can do some damage.

Because it causes instant pain and one of the unforgivable curses

Lumos causes a light to appear at the end of the user’s wand. Great for dark spaces if you can’t see!

Make your opponent do what ever you wish... kill someone, jump off a cliff, make them give you their money etc. It is an unforgivable curse.

Skills people daa

Time to call dem gang members.
