An Overview of the Nymphadora Tonks Wand

Not much information exists about the dimensions and origin of the wand of Nymphadora. The Nymphadora Tonks wand was of an unknown length. She wielded this wand throughout her life as an Auror as well as a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She used her wand while extracting Harry Potter from 4 Privet Drive on 6th August 1995. In June of 1996, Tonks took part in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.

In June 1997, Tonks participated in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, where she duelled Thorfinn Rowle, who fired curses rapidly at her. However, he fled with his companions. Tonks also fought alongside Order members in the Battle of Seven Potters. Tonks duelled Bellatrix Lestrange and injured her husband, Rodolphus Lestrange.

The  Nymphadora Tonks wand was Tonks’s constant shield in all of these duels. The Tonks wand was with her till her death at the Battle of Hogwarts.

 

The Nymphadora Tonks Wand Can Make You a Powerful Auror

Even though the Ministry of Magic officially denied Voldemort’s return, Tonks continued her job both as an Order of the Phoenix member and as an Auror. She fed the Order crucial information and protected the prophecy in the Department of Mysteries.

Additionally, she led shrewd Ministry officials like Rufus Scrimgeour astray. She diverted them as they were searching for Sirius Black. She was fiercely loyal to the Order and its cause.

As a skilled duelist, she honourably upheld her duties as an Auror and member of the Order. She defended the innocent and fought many powerful Death Eaters. She fought off many Death Eaters in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, the Battle of the Seven Potters, and the Battle of Hogwarts. However, the only Death Eater powerful enough to defeat Tonks, in the end, was Bellatrix Lestrange. Tonks and her husband, Professor Lupin, both died at the Second Battle of Hogwarts.

Possess the prowess and the strength of the brave witch who wielded the Tonks wand.  We have compiled a few of the authentic  Nymphadora Tonks wand versions just for you.

DUEL WITH THE EXPELLIARMUS SPELL

DUEL WITH THE EXPELLIARMUS SPELL

The Expelliarmus spell is a commonly used Harry Potter Spell in duelling. Harry always advocated for a fair duel. So, he used this “Expelliarmus spell”. His goal was to simply his opponents. He never wanted to harm or attack them.

EXPELLIARMUS SPELL

Expelliarmus

“I was thinking, the first thing we should do is Expelliarmus, you know, the Disarming Charm. I know it’s pretty basic but I’ve found it really useful.” “Oh please…I don’t think Expelliarmus is exactly going to help us against You-Know-Who, do you?” “I’ve used it against him…It saved my life last June.”

– Harry Potter and Zacharias Smith, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

 

The Best Wands To Duel With and Cast the Expelliarmus Spell

When it comes to duelling, the ideal Harry Potter wand to fight with is the Aspen wands. They also fully project the power of the expelliarmus spell. The Duelling Club called Silver Spears in the 18th C. used aspen wands exclusively.

Red oak and rowan wands are also considered ideal for duelling. Sorcerers feared yew wands in duels, as they got associated with curses and evil magic.

 

Dumbledore v/s Voldemort and the Expelliarmus Spell

Albus Dumbledore was considered by many ‘the greatest wizard of modern times’. Not only did he defeat Gellert Grindelwald in an epic duel, but Dumbledore was the only one that Voldemort found frightening.

In Order of the Phoenix, we see a duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort. It is one of the most spectacular showcasing of magic across the whole of the Harry Potter series.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Voldemort raised his wand, another jet of green light came out and streaked towards Professor Dumbledore. However, Professor Dumbledore was quick enough to disappear from his spot and then reappear behind Voldemort.

Dumbledore waved his wand towards the fountain as he rejected the Killing Curse with an “Expelliarmus!” and then the other statues came to life.

 

The Poetic Case of the Expelliarmus Spell

It is interesting that the Expelliarmus spell would defeat the most feared Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. That too, just six years after the Duelling Club.

The colours of the spells in the final duel were red and green.

You see, Harry’s eyes are green. While Voldemort’s eyes have the colour red (in the books). These colours are the house colours of each other. Stunning spells have red colour, while the Killing Curse emits a green light. Therefore, when Harry’s and Voldemort’s spells meet, it creates golden flames.

Harry challenged Voldemort not to kill anyone else on the 2nd of May 1998. He stared into the Dark Lord’s eyes, green into the red- justice, challenging the evil to end it for once and for all.

A green glow burst from Voldemort’s wand, indicating he had chanted the Killing Curse. As it headed towards Harry at lightning speed, Harry, too, cast his spell. “Expelliarmus”, he said. A red light emitted from Harry’s wand.

“Avada Kedavra!”

“Expelliarmus!”

Voldemort died as his Death curse rebounded on him. The Elder wand did not agree to obey him. For he was not the real owner of the wand. It was Draco Malfoy’s wand. So, when he uttered the Killing Curse, it killed him instantly instead of Harry. Harry always stood by his signature spell, the Expelliarmus spell. He maintained a fair and dignified duel.

 

Standing Against the Dark Arts with the Expelliarmus Spell

Harry Potter may have been ridiculed regarding his over usage of the Expelliarmus spell. Even Lupin warned him about it, saying that the Death Eaters knew it was his signature move and, therefore, it could leave him exposed in front of them. Some may see this as being naive and a sense of security that one feels doing something that they are used to and confident in.

Harry was very confident about casting this spell because he had mastered it. However, there is a moral issue that actually drives Harry to stick to the Expelliarmus spell.

Whenever Harry confronts a challenge, he trusts the Expelliarmus spell. Even in the face of death in the final showdown against Lord Voldemort in the Great Hall at Hogwarts, Harry trusted this spell blindly. This simple spell defeated the Dark Lord. It ended the Second Wizarding War.

When Voldemort charged at Harry with the Elder wand and yelled the Killing Curse, Harry at the same time cast the Expelliarmus spell, and Voldemort’s curse rebounded and hit him. He fell dead on the floor. The Elder wand refused to obey him, as the true master was Draco Malfoy. Interestingly, Draco had used the Expelliarmus spell to disarm Professor Dumbledore, who won the allegiance of the wand after defeating Grindelwald at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.

 

Expelliarmus at The Duelling Club

The then Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor started a  Duelling Club at Hogwarts with the permission of Headmaster Dumbledore. He did it, assessing that dark times would befall Hogwarts eventually. Professor Lockhart taught the students the formalities of duelling like bowing, holding the wand in a certain way and wielding it in the attack.

When Harry found himself in front of Voldemort in the graveyard, he got attacked by him. Voldemort used the Imperius Curse on him to force him to bow. Harry later used the Expelliarmus spell to distract Voldemort. The Expelliarmus spell always saved Harry every time he was in a near-death situation.

 

Expelliarmus Spell: The Simpler, the Better

Not all spells in the magical world are as grand or, in some cases, horrifying as the Unforgivable Curses or as mystic as the Patronus Charm. Something as simple as the Expelliarmus spell is equally exhilarating and quite powerful.

 

The Winner of Duelling Competition Who Used the Expelliarmus Spell

Alberta Toothill was the winner of the All-England Wizarding Duelling Competition of 1430. She disarmed Samson Wiblin with a Blasting Charm. Elizabeth Smudgling won the title of Supreme Dueller in a famous Dartmoor contest in 1379. She used a spell that she made. Some speculate it was the Expelliarmus spell. Some say she invented it.

CRUCIO HARRY POTTER- ETHICS AND MORALE OF THE WIZARDING LAW

CRUCIO HARRY POTTER- ETHICS AND MORALE OF THE WIZARDING LAW

The Crucio Harry Potter is one of the Unforgivable Curses banned by the Ministry of Magic in 1717. This curse was punishable by a life sentence in Azkaban without parole. The word “Crucio” literally translates to “I torture” in Latin.

The crucio curse gets labelled as unforgivable for it puts its victim through unspeakable torture and pain to the point of rendering them psychologically damaged. That is exactly what happened to Frank and Alice Longbottom, Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix members. Bellatrix Lestrange, Barty Crouch Jr. and two other Death Eaters tortured them to get information about James and Lily Potter.

CRUCIO HARRY POTTER

Barty, in guise of Prof. Moody, demonstrating crucio on a spider

Barty Crouch Jr. and Crucio Curse

Barty Crouch Junior was a convicted Death Eater. He was sentenced to life in Azkaban. He used the Cruciatus curse on Frank and Alice Longbottom. Furthermore, Barty knew a lot about the Unforgivable Curses. He, in the guise of Alastor Moody, taught the Unforgivable Curses to the students at Hogwarts.

Moody raised his wand again, pointed it at the spider, and muttered, “Crucio!”

At once, the spider’s legs bent in upon its body; it rolled over and began to twitch horribly, rocking from side to side. No sound came from it, but Harry was sure that if it could have given a voice, it would have been screaming.

“Pain,” said Moody softly. You don’t need thumbscrews or knives to torture someone if you can perform the Cruciatus Curse… That one was very popular once too.

-Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The Cruciatus Curse is unforgivable in the easiest sense, as torture is a dreadful crime by universal standards.

 

Crucio: Bringing out the “Evil” even in the Good

The Cruciatus Curse offers a deep and disturbing insight into Harry’s character. It brings out his dark side. Harry wished that he knew how to do the Cruciatus curse so that he could make Snape lie on his back and twitch and jerk like that spider.

Harry later would use the curse on three different occasions. After Bellatrix Lestrange kills Sirius Black, Harry chases her. Upon catching up with her, he uses the curse on her. He also attempts to use it on Snape after the latter killed Dumbledore.

Harry, in the seventh book, used it to torture Hogwarts professor (and Death Eater) Amycus Carrow into unconsciousness. Carrow had spit in Professor Minerva McGonagall’s face. Harry avenged her.

Amycus had spit in McGonagall’s face, which angered Harry. For a second, Harry forgot all about ethics and good or bad. He lifted his wand and shouted the “Crucio” spell. Amycus was lifted from his feet and writhed through the air. He looked like a drowning man. The spell made him thrash and howl in pain. Finally, he smashed into the bookcase like shattering glass. He became completely unconscious. Harry exclaimed that he now understood the excitement that Bellatrix got from using the spell. He finally understood that one could cause excruciating pain only when you really mean it.

In all these three instances, Harry chose to use the Cruciatus Curse. That is, however, disturbing. He could have just immobilized his opponent. Harry’s use of the Cruciatus Curse poses a moral question.

If Harry uses the curse, knowing that it is both wrong and illegal, is Harry still good? And if he’s flawed – if he has a touch of evil in his personality – is it still okay to root for him?

 

Crucio at Hogwarts

Under the tutelage of Lord Voldemort, when he finally took over the Ministry of Magic in 1997, Amycus Carrow taught this curse at Hogwarts. Carrow taught this curse alongside the two other Unforgivable Curses in the curriculum of Dark Arts.

Carrow went on to use this spell on Ginny Weasley during the Second Wizarding War.

The members of the Dumbledore’s Army, like Neville Longbottom and Seamus Finch, cast this Cruciatus curse on Death Eaters, namely, Alecto and Amycus Carrow, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, to avenge Hogwarts and Professor Dumbledore.

 

Unbearable Pain by the Cruciatus Curse

Harry himself would describe the effect of the Cruciatus curse as causing “immense pain”. He exclaimed that it was a feeling worse than “one thousand white-hot knives, boring into the skin”.

The curse is powerful enough to cause not only physical, but also mental damage. Damage is permanent and irreversible. At the Little Hangleton graveyard, when Harry faced Voldemort, Voldemort attacked him with the Cruciatus Curse.

Barty Crouch Jr. had enchanted Portkey. The Portkey took Harry and Cedric to the Little Hangleton graveyard. After killing Cedric, Lord Voldemort started to attack Harry. He made Harry vow with the Cruciatus curse after challenging him to a duel. The pain that Harry felt almost blinded him.

 

Cruciatus Curse and the Ordeal at the Malfoy Manor

Hermione was also tortured by the Cruciatus curse, most probably. At the Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix tortures Hermoine and carved the term “mudblood” on her arm.

 

Transmogrifian Torture- A Variation of the Cruciatus Curse

When Mrs Norris was petrified in the second book by the Basilisk, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart inaccurately assessed that it might be the effect of a “Transmogrifian curse”.

The Transmogrifian Torture was a curse that tortured its victims and eventually killed them. It may be similar to or a variation of the Cruciatus Curse. Prolonged use of the Cruciatus Curse can also lead to permanent psychological damage and death.

Like the Cruciatus Curse, this curse also tortures. However, unlike the Crucio spell, this one had a counter-curse to undo the damage.

 

Cruciatus Curse: A Picture of the Systematic Failure

The story of Harry Potter is not just about law, but about a society trying to establish a rule of law. The Ministry of Magic is not a dictatorship, but it is not a democracy. The failures of the Ministry and the Order are not glossed over. In fact, they get presented with concern. Therefore, the Crucio Harry Potter was declared an Unforgivable Curse again, along with the Killing Curse and Imperius Curse, a punishable offence after the Second Wizarding War, when Kingsley Shacklebolt became the Minister of Magic.

If you ever wanted to play Quidditch in the Muggle world, the LEGO Quidditch set will make it a reality. We know that only wizards can play the magical game of Quidditch in the wizarding world. But not anymore. The new LEGO Quidditch set from Harry Potter LEGO will transport you to the Quidditch field at Hogwarts. You, too, can now enjoy this sorcerer’s version of our “Muggle’s football.”

LEGO QUIDDITCH

History of the Quidditch World Cup

The guidebook, The Official Guide to the Quidditch World Cup, documented the game since its inception in 1473. The International Confederation of Wizards’ Quidditch Committee published the book.

 

During the 15th and the 16th centuries only, European countries participated.

Some scholars count the inception of the Quidditch World Cup from the 17th C., as it was from then the competition opened up to all continents.

However, there remains some dispute over the accuracy of the historical accounts of this tournament.

 

How Teams Qualified and Played for the Quidditch World Cup

The tournament had sixteen groups of teams. The group phase matches lasted for over two years. During the group phase, each player got a cap of four hours to avoid getting exhausted.

In some cases, the game ended after four hours of play, and no one caught the Golden Snitch. Then they declared the result based on who scored the most goals.

Winning the game will earn the team two points. Additionally, a win by 150 points will earn them five points. A win by 100 points will get them an extra three points, and a win by 50 points would earn them one extra point.

For instance, let’s say two teams had the same points. Then they would qualify if their Seeker catches the Snitch before the other. The Seeker gave the team a winning 150 points. Harry, the Gryffindor Seeker in the 1991-1992 season, caught the Golden Snitch, securing a win for Gryffindor against Slytherin.

The sixteen teams that finished on the top of each group qualified for the World Cup.

As per the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692, the wizarding world decided to make their mode of travel a secret from the Muggles. They wanted the travel details to be more discrete.

 

History of the Hogwarts Express

Portkeys were not an ideal way to travel to school. The Ministry of Magic failed to find the best solution at the time. They needed to find a more secure route to travel to school. Travelling by Floo Powder was strongly prohibited on the grounds of breaching the castle’s security. Then how will you go to school? Aboard the best  LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express!

Finally, a daring and controversial solution came from the then Minister for Magic, Ottaline Gambol. Gambol was half-Muggle and fascinated by trains. She saw the potential in using trains for transportation. She suggested that trains will be the new and main school carriage for the students.

The source of the acquisition of Hogwarts Express remains confidential. The Ministry of Magic had carried out a mass operation. It involved one hundred and sixty-seven Memory Charms. It was the largest Concealment charm ever performed by Britain. Explore the magical world with the best LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express!

 

Description of the Hogwarts Express

One could recognize the Hogwarts Express by its red color. It was quite in contrast to the modern National Rail system in Britain. The Hogwarts Express was a large red, 4-6-0 steam engine. The other name for Hogwarts Express was Hogwarts Castle. The Muggles created the original steam engine. However, once the Ministry acquired it, it exclusively ran on magic. Enjoy a tour in this red beauty with the best  LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express!

The trains had passenger carriages that held compartments set off a corridor. Each compartment functioned as a self-contained stage within the expansive train. The lettered compartments form the body of the Hogwarts Express.

During the long journey to school at Hogwarts, students could buy and enjoy treats from the trolley. The trolley carried several treats like Pumpkin Pasties and Chocolate Frogs. There was also a Buffet car on the train. You will never be hungry en route to school in the best  LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express!

Usually, the trolley witch and the driver were the only adults aboard the train. However, from time to time, new teachers such as Professor Lupin and Professor Slughorn also boarded the train to go to Hogwarts.

THE IMPERIO SPELL – A Sinister Spell to control your Enemies

THE IMPERIO SPELL – A Sinister Spell to control your Enemies

One of the Unforgivable Curses, the Imperio Spell was probably the most sinister of them all. Apart from killing or torturing a person with magic, the worst thing one could do was to manipulate them into committing heinous crimes.

The sole purpose of the Imperio spell was to manipulate and control wizards and Muggles alike. The spell caused complete hypnosis and the person affected lost all sense of judgment and morality, the very defining feature of humanity.

One of the three Unforgivable Curses, it allows the caster to control another’s actions.

-About the Imperius Curse

 

Origin and Meaning of the Imperio Spell

The Imperio spell derives its name from the Latin word “imperious” which means “commanding, mighty and/or powerful”.

Another root word for this spell is “imperative”, whose verb form acts as a command function. The Imperius Curse, most certainly, achieves this thing.

Dark wizards and witches created the Imperius Curse sometime during the Middle Ages. The main purpose of the spell is to coerce and brainwash others into slavery or to do other illegal deeds.

 

Known History of the Uses of the  Imperio Spell

As the Wizard’s Council became the Ministry of Magic, tighter restrictions started governing the use of Dark Magic. They declared the Imperius Curse to be dark magic along with Crucio and Avada Kedavra, and called the trio “the Unforgivable Curses”.  The use of this curse was punishable with life imprisonment in Azkaban. The only exception was if the cursor had done so under the influence and control of the curse itself.

 

Imperio Spell Before and After the First Wizarding War

This was one of the major loopholes in wizarding law. Many dark wizards and witches exploited it to reduce their sentence when they were facing prison, especially after the First Wizarding War.

Along with the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperio spell‘s main purpose is to torture various Secret Keepers. The effect is not profound as the Keeper will only reveal the secret on their own will.

During the First Wizarding War, Barty Crouch Sr. was in charge of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Barty Crouch Sr. legalized the Unforgivable Curses for the Aurors to use in the battle against Grindelwald. He did it so that the Aurors could win the war. The war ended with the status quo.

 

Imperio Spell Before and During the Second Wizarding War

After the Second Wizarding War, many Death Eaters and Dark wizards like Lucius Malfoy, Corban Yaxley, and others claimed that they served Lord Voldemort under the influence of this curse. They did it to avoid maximum punishment and imprisonment for their war crimes. While some of their claims were accepted, the Ministry deployed personnel to determine the veracity of the claim- whether they were telling the truth or lying to escape punishment.

During the 1994–1995 school year at Hogwarts, Professor Moody, who was Barty Crouch Jr., demonstrated the use of all the three Unforgivable Curses. He demonstrated them on a spider as using them on humans has been illegal since 1717. In disguise, he did his demonstration of the Unforgivable Curses to the fourth-year students. Spiders were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the curse. It was, however, against the rules of the Ministry. Many students were under Crouch’s command except for Harry who was able to resist it completely and shake it off.

Voldemort legalized the Unforgivable Curses as soon as he took over the Ministry. Amycus Carrow taught it as a curriculum at Hogwarts. He said every wizard and witch could use it as and when they desired. When the Ministry was under Voldemort, the curse became a part of the curriculum at Hogwarts. Amycus Carrow taught it at the Dark Arts class when he was the Professor of Dark Arts under the tutelage of Lord Voldemort.

 

Legal Status of the Imperio Spell after the Second Wizarding War

After the death of Voldemort and imprisonment of all the Death Eaters, the curse was once again declared illegal and forbidden. The Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt passed the law. Many people who were under the influence of the curse during the war slowly started to come out of the trance.

The Imperius Curse controlled the wizards to the point they had no sense of right or wrong. Even the most powerful sorcerer could not break free from its control. The Ministry additionally declared that the use of this curse on any human would be punishable by a life sentence without parole in the prison for magical criminals, Azkaban.

 

Nature of the Imperio Spell

The ones subjected to this spell did not have any unpleasant experience per se. It was the opposite, to say the least. The victim finds themselves in a calm position, quite akin to the hypnosis of some sort. The victim will completely be under the control of the caster. They will do anything that the caster desires. This may include heinous crimes like murder, political corruption, and even suicide. In the case of Harry, the curse was not as strong as it should have been.

 

Defense against the Imperio Spell

Unlike the other Unforgivable curses, the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse, a person can fight against the Imperio spell. Resisting the Imperius curse demanded a great amount of strength of will and character. This is what makes this Unforgivable curse unique. Wizards like Harry Potter, Barty Crouch Snr., Barty Crouch Jr. learned how to resist it. In Crouch Sr.’s case, it caused permanent psychological damage.  Trying to resist the curse was akin to Occulumency. Both required a lot of willpower.

 

Known Practitioners of Imperio Spell

Corvus Lestrange used the curse on Laurena Kama making her leave her husband and child to marry him and eventually bear Leta Lestrange.

Barty Crouch Sr. had used this curse on his son when the latter was under house arrest before 1994. Barty Crouch Jr. used it on many people- Alastor Moody to impersonate him, Harry, who resisted the curse, Neville Longbottom and Lavender Brown. He used it on Viktor Krum, who under the spell’s influence, attacked Cedric Diggory with the Cruciatus Curse.

Lord Voldemort used it on Harry at the Battle of the Little Hangleton graveyard.

Lucius Malfoy used the curse to steal a prophecy from the Department of Mysteries.

Harry used it on the goblin Bogrod who worked at the Gringotts Bank. He did so to get past the Lestrange vault in 1998.

Imperio Spell was banned once again after the Second Wizarding War. Many wizards and witches made sure that no one used the Unforgivable Curses again. The ones who used it were subjected to punishment and imprisonment.

The ordeals of the Second war and the lives lost goes on to show that all of the tragedies and casualties are not worth in the quest for possessing absolute power. After the Second Wizarding War, under Kingsley Shacklebolt’s Ministry, no one used the Imperio spell ever again.

BAT BOGEY HEX SPELL – will scare your Enemies!

BAT BOGEY HEX SPELL – will scare your Enemies!

The Bat Bogey Hex is a type of hex that transforms the target’s bogeys into large bats that flow out of the nose of the target.

However, when a person’s bogies turn into black bats, which crawl out of their nostrils and flap away, you can generally count on them shutting up long enough for you to talk for a change.

-Miranda Goshawk on the nature of the Bat Bogey Hex

The etymology of the Bat Bogey Hex

The name “Bat Bogey” comes from the nature of the spell. Bats fly out of the victim’s nose. “Boogey” is colloquial slang for booger.

 

History of the Bat Bogey Hex

It came into existence in the early 20th C. Hogwarts went on to teach the spell sometime around the late 20th Century. The creator of the spell was Miranda Goshawk, the author of the Standard Book of Spells series. She created the spell while growing up.

She grew up in a family of nine children, often ignored by her siblings. Goshawk wanted to find a way to make herself heard. The spell was the medium through which she communicated. Miranda had reportedly cast this spell on one of her sisters, Diadema, as she wanted to have privacy and be alone in her room.

She cast this spell on another sister when she wanted to finish her homework in peace. She also cast it on a third sister who had borrowed Miranda’s clothes without her permission. The spell that started as a simple defense spell against mischievous siblings eventually grew to become one of the most well-known defensive spells in the magical world.

 

End of and Beyond the 20th C.

One of the most astonishing yet notable incidents surrounding this hex charm was the Bat-Bogey Hex of 1972. In this incident, an entire class at Hogwarts, unfortunately, got enchanted by the spell. It causes mass panic and chaos.

You’ve never been on the receiving end of one of her Bat-Bogey Hexes, have you?

-George Weasley to Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley’s talent for this spell in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The Bat-Bogey Hex came as a question on the 1996 Theory of Charms O.W.L. Ginny taught this hex to wizards and witch members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force who pursued the profession of the Auror. The purpose of teaching the spell was to help address the aftermath of the Calamity.

Mathilda Grimbelhawk, a Magizoologist, helped fellow members of the profession understand and gain a deeper insight into this spell.

 

Legal Status

Humans could get subjected to this spell. It was legal for anyone to use it on humans. However, it is illegal to cast this spell on any non-humans. It could be fatal to any non-humans like a cat.

The Ministry of Magic has outlawed practicing this spell on non-humans. If anyone were to break this law, they would find themselves confronting the wrath of Julius Dowler, the Chief Warlock of Wizengamot.

 

How to Cast the Bat Bogey Hex

If someone wants to cast the Bat-Bogey Hex, they must focus on the intent. In severe defensive cases, the intention of the spell heavily depends on its effect. In simple words, it depends on what you want the spell to do.

The wand movement involved in casting this spell involves a downward flick on the left side. The next movement is a diagonal up and then to the left of the caster. These specific movements from the silhouette of a sideways hourglass. To chant the incantation of the Bat-Bogey Hex, all one needs to say is “Volamucus”!

 

Effect of the Bat Bogey Hex

The Bat-Bogey Hex causes the target’s bogeys to change into the shape of bats. The bats would fly out of the nose of the target. As amusing as the spell might sound, it can be very painful.

The Bat-Bogey Hex also functions as an outstanding distraction. It buys you time to get away from the target or to cast another spell.

 

The Inventor of the Bat Bogey Hex

Miranda Goshawk, the inventor and originator of the spell, had used the Bat Bogey Hex on her other two sisters as well apart from Diadema.

She cast it on Romilda Goshawk, the second sister, as she was trying to keep her out of her room. She also used it on her third sister, Taanwystl Goshawk, who disturbed her while she was doing her homework.

 

Ginny Weasley-The One Who Mastered the Bat Bogey Hex

Ginny Weasley was a frequent practitioner of the Bat Bogey Hex spell. She learned it during her early years at Hogwarts and made use of it often.

She used it many times to save her friends from crises. She used the Bat Bogey Hex to help her friends, Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom, and her brother, Ron Weasley, escape from the office of the dreaded Dolores Umbridge.

The second occasion when Ginny Weasley used this spell was when she was aboard the Hogwarts Express. Zacharias Smith kept annoying Ginny, asking her about what happened at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Fed up with him, Ginny cast the spell on him. It is what made Professor Horace Slughorn notice and appreciate Ginny’s capabilities as a sorceress. It was shortly after that she got the invitation to join the Slug Club and have lunch with him.

The Inquisitorial Squad acted on the tyrannical order of Professor Umbridge. They captured the group on suspicions of violating Ministry rules and plotting against the Ministry and the Minister of Magic. They captured the students on the pretext of accusing them of being part of Dumbledore’s Army, who vowed to fight against Lord Voldemort and his legion of Death Eaters.

She also used it at the Hogwarts Express when questioned about the incidents during the Battle of the Ministry. She used it on Draco Malfoy on 18th June 1996. She used this on Zacharias Smith on 1st September 1996 aboard the Hogwarts Express. Professor Slughorn, impressed with her, asked her to join the Slug Club.

STUPEFY HARRY POTTER! A Spell To Stun Your Enemies

STUPEFY HARRY POTTER! A Spell To Stun Your Enemies

Stupefy Harry Potter, labeled as a defense charm, is one of the most commonly used jinxes or charms in the Harry Potter novels and books. All one needs to do is chant the spell with or without the name of the person they want to stun.

True, Neville did Stun Padma Patil rather than Dean, at whom he had been aiming, but it was a much closer miss than usual, and everybody else had made enormous progress.

— Dumbledore’s Army learning the Stunning Spell in December 1995

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

 

Origin and Meaning of Stupefy Harry Potter

The word ‘stupefy’ comes from the Middle French word ‘stupéfier’. Another possible root word may be from the Latin word ‘stupefaciō’. It means to ‘strike dumb’ or ‘stun with amazement’. The third root of origin might be the English word ‘stupor’, which means ‘a state of near-unconsciousness or insensibility’.

The stunning spell is hard to master. As one needs to learn how to stun the opponent properly without causing maximum damage, only practice and skilled recitation and masterful wielding of the wand can assure a perfect cast of the Stunning Spell.

Nature and Appearance of Stupefy Harry Potter

If the spell is correctly cast, a jet of red light will emit from the caster’s wand.

When the light hits the opponent squarely on their chest, it will knock them out for quite a particular amount of time.

Depending on the accuracy of the caster and where the spell hits the opponent, the opponent may be unconscious anywhere from a few minutes to hours on end.

 

Counter Spell to Stupefy Harry Potter

The counterspell for the Stupefy Spell or the Stunning Charm is known as Enervate charm. The Enervate charm when cast wakes a person up from their stupefied state. However, unlike the Stupefy spell, the Enervate charm has limited uses.

 

Effect of the Stupefy Harry Potter

The Spell stuns a person completely. It makes the person unconscious. They do not often remember what happened prior to them being struck if they become completely unconscious in certain cases. The spell, being a jinx for obvious reasons, can incapacitate someone without actually killing them. The spell can quickly end a wizarding duel.

 

Defense against Stupefy Harry Potter

One can defend oneself from this Spell by deflecting it. Another solution lies with the Reviving Spell, which can counteract the Stupefy spell. However, this will wear over time. The Shield Charm can deflect the Stupefy or Stunning spell.

 

How to Resist Stupefy Harry Potter

This spell does not work on magical creatures like dragons, trolls, giants, half-giants, and acromantulas. Therefore, Rubeus Hagrid was not affected by this spell.

In 1996, the Ministry of Magic employees carried out the task to remove Hagrid from the Hogwarts grounds, but in vain. They could not do so with the spell.

One can also bewitch objects with this spell. The bewitching makes the objects volatilely reactive to ‘Stupefy’. Fred and George Weasley used the spell to bewitch their fireworks. The fireworks exploded when the spell hit them in the middle of the O.W.L.S. examinations in the fifth year.

 

Chances of Surviving Stupefy Harry Potter

Anyone hit by this spell will survive. The spell will incapacitate and immobilize the targeted person temporarily. However, it is neither fatal nor harmful. It causes no long-lasting effect.

 

Stupefy Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix

The spell is heavily featured in the fifth book of the Harry Potter series. The spell, in the book, yields both good and bad results. Harry and his friends and confidants in the Dumbledore’s Army (D.A.) practice and learn the spell. They believe the spell will help them defend themselves and also fight against Lord Voldemort and his Dark Forces and Death Eaters.

They took it upon themselves to learn the spell amongst various others after Professor Dolores Umbridge refused to teach them any kind of defensive spell or magic.

Stupefy in the book is seriously used for the first time on Professor Minerva McGonagall, the Head of the Gryffindor House, when she tries saving Hagrid, the Gamekeeper, and the Professor for Care for Magical Creatures, whom Umbridge along with her Inquisitorial Squad intended to deport from Hogwarts forever.

 

Known Practitioners of Stupefy Harry Potter

All known wizards at one point or on several occasions have had used the Stunning Spell. From Dark wizards like Gellert Grindelwald, Leta Lestrange, Tom Riddle Jr., Bartemius Crouch Junior to even the students- Harry, Ron and Hermione, and Molly Weasley and Tonks, all the members of the Order of the Phoenix and of course the Weasley twins as well.

 

Successful Uses of Stupefy Harry Potter

Gellert Grindelwald used it on Mykew Gregorovitch to steal the Elder wand in the 1990s.

Tom Riddle Junior used it non verbally in the Gaunt Shack in the summer of 1943 to kill his father.

Harry learned the spell and eventually used it to save Ron Weasley at the Third Task in the Triwizard Tournament.

Harry also used it on several Death Eaters during the Battle of the Seven Potters. He attacked Lucius Malfoy and Fenrir Greyback with this spell during the skirmish at the Malfoy Manor. He also used it at Gringotts Bank while escaping from there.

Cedric Diggory used it to stun an Acromantula in the maze section during the Triwizard Tournament.

Albus Dumbledore used it on Barty Crouch Junior, who was in Alastor Moody’s disguise as he tried to attack Harry.

Hermoine Granger used it on Mafalda Hopkirk when the Trio infiltrated the Ministry of Magic.

 

Unsuccessful Uses of Stupefy Harry Potter

Bellatrix Lestrange and an unknown Death Eater in 1996 attacked Harry with this spell in the Department of Mysteries. However, their efforts were futile.

Hermione was unsuccessful in stunning Draco in the skirmish of the Room of Requirement.

Now you know what you have to do to stun your opponent, even if the opponent is Harry Potter himself.  Just raise your wand and say,Stupefy Harry Potter!.
