Pronunciation: Various suggestions have been made, including:

/ki.o/AK-ee-oh film and video game

/ksi.o/ AK-see-oh U.K. audio book

/si.o/ AS-see-oh U.S. audio book

Description: This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant

distance.[2]Its opposite is the Banishing Charm.

Seen/mentioned: First mentioned in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when it was

briefly used byMolly Weasley on the Weasley twins to confiscate their Weasleys' Wizard

Wheezes' products from their pockets, before they left for the QuidditchWorld Cup.

Hermione was also mentioned trying to learn this charm during her ride aboard the

Hogwarts Express. Later on in the same book, Harry summons his broom to complete the

First Task of theTriwizard Tournament.[GF Ch.20]

Suggested etymology: The Latin word accio means "I call" or "I summon".[3]

Aguamenti(Aguamenti Charm)

Pronunciation:/wmnti/AH-gw-MEN-tee

Description: Produces a jet of water from the caster's wand.

Seen/mentioned: First seen in Goblet of Fire, when Fleur put the fire out on her skirt "with

a bit of water from her wand." First named in Half-Blood Prince, when Harry is being taught

how to perform this specific charm in Professor Flitwick's class. Later Harry casts this spell

in an attempt to create water for Dumbledore to drink after taking Voldemort's

potion[HBP Ch.26] and then to douse Hagrid's hut after it is set on fire later.[HBP Ch.28]

[DH Ch.31].

Suggested etymology: The Latin word aqua (water) combined with augmentum (comparewith English augment), an increase, from augere, to increase; see aug- in Indo-European

roots, meaning: increasing the water (flow), this combination explains the QU/GU

alteration in aqua- agua- (see agua e. g. in Portuguese and Spanish). -menti is the

genitive form of the suffix -mentum

Alohomora

Pronunciation:/lohmr/-LOH-h-MOHR-

Description: Used to open and/or unlock doors,[4] but doors can be bewitched so that this

spell has no effect.[citation needed]

Seen/mentioned: Used throughout the series, with the first use by Hermione in HarryPotter and the Philosopher's Stone. Used gradually less in the series as the characters

discover more and more doors, chests, etc. with counter-charms on them. (For example, the

doors into Professor Snape's and Professor Umbridge's offices are mentioned as

beingAlohomora-proof.[citation needed])

Etymology: J. K. Rowling stated that the word was from the West African Sidiki dialect used

in geomancy and has the literal meaning Friendly to thieves.[5]

Anapneo

Pronunciation:/npni.o/-NAP-nee-oh

Description: Clears the target's airway, if blocked.Seen/mentioned: Shown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Horace Slughorn casts

this spell on Marcus Belby when the latter begins to choke.[HBP Ch.7]

and the Order of the Phoenix.

Seen/mentioned: First said (not by name) at the beginning of the first book when Harry

arrives at the Dursleys' home. Seen first in Goblet of Fire against MuggleFrank Bryce, and

in every book following.

Suggested etymology: During an audience interview at the Edinburgh Book Festival(15

April 2004) Rowling said: "Does anyone know where avada kedavra came from? It is an

ancient spell in Aramaic, and it is the original ofabracadabra, which means 'let the thing be

destroyed.' Originally, it was used to cure illness and the 'thing' was the illness, but I

decided to make it the 'thing' as in the person standing in front of me. I take a lot of

liberties with things like that. I twist them round and make them mine."[8] Rowling's use of

this name may have been influenced by Latin cadaver= "corpse".

Pronunciation:/kspkto ptronm/eks-PEK-tohp-TROH-nm

Description: Conjures an incarnation of the caster's innermost positive feelings, such as

Seen/mentioned: In Prisoner of Azkaban, it is explained that when Harry was an infant, he

and his parents,James and Lily Potter, were hidden from Voldemort by this charm. Later,

homes.

brought into the circle of knowledge.[19]However, in Deathly Hallows, it is explained that

upon the Keeper's death, all those who have been told the secret become Secret-Keepers in

fire.[20]

Notes: It is only used by Vincent Crabbe throughout in Deathly Hallows, who Harry believes

learned it from the Carrows.[DH Ch.31] (Alecto Carrowand Amycus Carrow; two Death

Eater siblings who taught atHogwarts for a brief period under Snape's reign as

Headmaster.) Therefore, Vincent Crabbe inadvertently destroyed one of Lord Voldemort's

Horcruxes.

Impedimenta (Impediment Jinx, Impediment Curse)

Pronunciation:/mpdmnt/im-PED-i-MEN-t

Description: This powerful spell is capable of tripping, freezing, binding, knocking back

and generally impeding the target's progress towards the caster. The extent to which the

spell's specific action can be controlled by the caster is not made clear. If this spell does

bind, it does eventually wear off as stated in Deathly Hallows.

Seen/mentioned: Used in Goblet of Fire when Harry is practicing for the third task. Also

used by Madam Hooch to briefly stop Harry from fighting with Draco. Also seen toward the

end ofOrder of the Phoenix, when Harry is fighting the Death Eaters. Stronger uses of this

spell seem capable of blowing targets away.

Suggested etymology: Latin impedimentum (plural impedimenta) meaning "a hindrance"

or "an impediment".[12]

Imperio (Imperius Curse)

Pronunciation:/mpri.o/im-PEER-ee-oh

Description: Causes the victim of the curse to obey the spoken/unspoken commands of

the caster. The experience of being controlled by this curse is described as a complete,

wonderful release from any sense of responsibility or worry over one's actions, at the price

of one's free will. Resisting the effect of the curse is possible, however, and several

individuals have been able to successfully overcome it, including Harry and both of the

Crouches, who learn to resist the curse after being subjected to its effects for an extended

period. Harry describes the feeling of being the caster as controlling a marionette through a

wand (although Harry's particular experience is suspect due to his lack of commitment to

casting Unforgivable Curses). One of the three Unforgivable Curses.

Seen/mentioned: First mentioned (not by name) in the first book when Ron told Harry thatduring the first war Lucius Malfoy claimed that he had been jinxed, thus evading

imprisonment. First seen in Goblet of Fire introduced by Barty Crouch Jr. (acting as Moody)

and used on a spider. Later seen in the book when Barty Crouch Jr., acting as Professor

Moody, used it on all the students to see if they would be able to overcome it. Used by

Harry in Deathly Hallows on a Gringotts goblin and Travers, and by the Death Eaters on Pius

Thicknesse.

Suggested etymology:Imperare is Latin for "to order, command", and is the root of

several modern English words. Imperium means "command" or "domain",

and imperio means (among other things) "with authority". (Compare to impero, "I

command", and to crucio above.) Imperius is not, however, a Latin word.

(Imperturbable Charm)

Description: Makes objects such as doors impenetrable (by everything, including sounds

and objects).

Seen/mentioned: The spell is used by Mrs Weasley in Order of the Phoenixon the door of

the room in which an Order meeting was being held, to prevent her sons, Fred and George,

from eavesdropping (using their extendable ears). Also mentioned in Half-Blood

Prince when Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed Draco to Borgin and Burkes and used

extendable ears

Suggested etymology: Latin imperturbatus meaning "calm" or "undisturbed".[12]
