About a week ago, ” Tomorrow’s Entertainment ” was emailed asking for more news and information about Harry Potter.. There isn’t much news around on the web, mainly rumors, but as soon as we hear some important news about the upcoming movie, it will be posted on the site.. They also asked about the spells from the movies and books.. What they are, the incantations, etc.. So this post is for Rebekah and all the other Harry Potter fans out there..

In the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series of books by author JK Rowling, magic spells are used by many of the characters to achieve useful effects without the benefit of modern technology.. The main depiction of a ” spell ” in the Harry Potter books consists of a gesture made with the character’s wand, combined with a spoken or mental incantation.. In the books and their associated film series, the majority of these incantations are derived from the Classical languages, particularly Latin.. These named incantations are not grammatically correct in any language; most spoken phrases resemble Latin words of appropriate meaning, but are not exactly Latin themselves..

In Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince, the concept of casting spells non - verbally is introduced.. Prior to this, every spell cast by the principal characters had been accompanied by the appropriate incantation ( Although advanced adult practitioners of magic had been described casting non - verbal spells in previous books and movies )..

Spells are listed here by their incantation ( When known ), with their vernacular name in parentheses.. Some spells have no known incantation - the only canonical reference is by an informal name, either because in its only appearance in the relevant book it was cast non - verbally, or because it was never depicted in the books, only talked about.. The majority of spells cast in duels between adult characters in all seven books appear non - verbally; such spells can only be identified by their effects..
