==Popular Spells==
:'''Accio:''' Also known as the summoning charm, Accio summons any object to the user within a certain distance. In the Goblet of Fire Harry uses Accio to summon his broomstick during the first Triwizard Challenge.

:'''Alohomora:''' Also known as the unlocking charm, Alohomora enables its user to open any lock. The charm is first used in the Philosopher's Stone and after this regularly makes an appearance in the later books.

:'''Expecto Patronum:''' Also known as the Patronus charm, Expecto Patronum conjures a Patronus; an animal-shaped mass of energy that repels dementors. Harry first learns the Patronus charm during the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is considered impressive given his young age and the difficulty of the charm.

:'''Expelliarmus:''' Also known as the disarming charm, Expelliarmus is arguably the most recognisable of any Harry Potter spell. The spell, which causes the victim's wand to fly out of their hand, becomes almost a trademark for Harry and is the charm that he uses to kill Voldemort.

:'''Lumos:''' Lights the tip of the user's wand.

:'''Petrificus Totalus:''' Also known as the full-body-bind spell, Petrificus Totalus renders its victim totally paralysed. Hermione Granger uses this spell on Neville Longbottom during the Philosopher's Stone.

:'''Protego:''' Casts a magical forcefield around the user, repelling spells cast at it. Protego is one of the most commonly used defensive spells.

:'''Stupefy:''' Stuns an opponent, rendering them unconscious. This is one of the most popular duelling spells and is used frequently throughout the series. In the Half-Blood Prince, Professor McGonagall is hit by four stunners and must recover in St. Mungos Hospital.

:'''Wingardium Leviosa:''' Causes an object to fly. This is one of the first spell taught to the first-year students at Hogwarts. In the words of Hermione Granger; "It's leviOsa, not levioSA."
