82 Harry Potter Spells

Since J.K. Rowling promulgated the first book “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, we stepped into an amazing wizarding world, which became a safe place for Potterheads. Seven amazing books and eight movies that never gets old, gave us unforgettable memories, taught us that family and friends are all we need for happiness, real friendship lasts forever, and sometimes risking things can give us valuable experiences.

Furthermore, J.K. Rowling put much effort and with amazing details made this “childish” and unrealistic world look convincing and real. A crucial key that made everything so real is a literal language created by Rowling: bunch of spells, charms, and hexes that Harry Potter wouldn’t be complete without.

So here is a huge list of harry potter spells and curses listed by their usage in real, everyday life.
