Magic in Harry Potter
Magic spells are used in the Wizarding World to achieve useful effects without the need of modern technology. To cast a spell, the wizard or witch usually makes a spoken or mental incantation whilst making a gesture with their wand. Students are usually able to cast spells only with spoken incantations but advanced witches and wizards are able to cast spells mentally. In this book are listed the spells with their incantations, listed alphabetically and by type of magic.
Types of Spells
Spells are phrases or words said by a witch or wizard that can create a magical effect especially when used with a wand. Major types of magic include Charm, Jinx, Hex, Transfiguration and Curse are explained below:
 
Spell: This is term is used for all magical incantations.
 
Charms: Charms does not change the nature of an object but only its behaviour, for instance making a feather levitate but not turning it into a teapot.
 
Counterspells: These spells can be used to counter, remove or prevent the effects of other spells.
 
Curse: Curse magic is some of the worst and most dangerous forms of Dark Magic, causing major harmful effects. There are three Curses that are so terrible that they are known as the Unforgiveable Curses.
 
Fake Spells: These spells may have been made-up by Gilderoy Lockhart.
 
Healing: These spells can be used to cure illnesses, restoring limbs and solving other medical problems.
 
Hexes: Hexes are a form of lesser Dark Magic, less dangerous than Curses but more dangerous than Jinxes.
 
Jinxes: Jinxes are the lesser-most type of Dark Magic used to amuse or irritate but not to harm another person.
 
Transfiguration: Transfiguration spells can be used to change one object into another such as a matchstick into a needle.
Spellcasting
Spells are bursts of magic that can be used by a witch or wizard for many different types of tasks from creating fire to opening locked doors. To cast a spell, the witch or wizard needs to speak an incantation, often a form of Latin whilst using their wands, though advanced witches and wizards are able to cast spells without wands when needed. Also, spells can be cast without spoken words and only mentally. It is evidently also possible to use a wand without holding it. Harry himself performs Lumos to light his wand when it is lying on the ground somewhere near him. Additionally, Animagi and Metamorphmagi do not need wands to undergo their transformations.
