The Ten Most Important Spells in Harry Potter
Obviously, there are a LOT of spells in the Harry Potter books. They range from mundane (occulus reparo) to the truly spectacular (expecto patronus!). I thought it would be interesting to make a list of the ten most important - in my opinion, anyway - spells in Harry Potter. In no particular order, here they are:
1) Accio: Basically, the Accio spell is for people too lazy to walk across the room and grab the remote (like me). Also comes in handy when you want a snack but you JUST got in the perfect couch groove with the pillows just right.
2) Expelliarmus: Used to disarm other wizards. Harry used this quite successfully in his tussles with Voldemort.
3) Incendio: Produces fire. We saw Hagrid do this in the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
4) Locomotor: Used to move objects around, i.e., “locomotor couch!” Super useful when you’re moving, I would think.
5) Muffliato: Causes your conversations to be muffled, hence the “muff” in muffliato. I would totally do this in church.
6) Reparo: Repairs broken objects. Can you imagine how much cashola you could rake in with this one? “Sure, I’ll fix your VCR - that’ll be $500. (ten seconds later) All done!”
7) Scougify: Technically, this one is a charm, but I’m putting it in here anyway. You can use Scourgify to clean something, like my bathroom. This little spell alone makes being a wizard worthwhile.
8) Episkey: Heals minor injuries. Obviously very useful.
9) Geminio: Creates duplicates of objects, i.e., “Geminio raspberry-filled donut!” Much like the Star Trek replicator.
10) Lumos: Creates light. I would totally, TOTALLY create a light show with this one to Pink Floyd songs. Who’s with me?
So! Do you agree with my picks? What do you think are the most important Harry Potter spells?

Actually food can’t be duplicated as it’s one of the 5 laws in magic in the Harry Potter world… :P its in the 7th book…

Actually, you can duplicate food. If you have it. You can’t conjure food out of thin air, or transfigure something that’s not food into food, but if you know where it is you can use the ‘accio’ spell to get it or if you have some, you can duplicate it. Check the book.

Okay, I just found it; you can summon food if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you’ve already got some. From the words of Hermione.

I think Avada Kedavra should be up there, Potter never performed it but if it wasn’t for that curse there would be no Harry Potter.

In my opinion the Bat Bogey Hex is not deserving to be on this list.
I, perhaps, would have chosen a few different spells, but for the most part the list is well done.

Refilling was described as charm and did not seem to be included in the five exceptions to Gamps law of elemental transfiguration.
Nox would also seem logical if you want to use Lumos.
Super sensory - Ron said he could use it when driving, who wouldn’t use it in any major city?
Episkey fixes nose bleeds/broken noses. Apparently not much more. HP in the last book realises this lack of knowledge in healing injuries is a serious deficient in his magical education and make a note to ask Hermione.

Crazy isn’t it . My favourite game is harry potter and the half blood prince and harry potter and the deathly hallows but why did they do the film . very crazy directors isn’t it
huh? So i am an Maldivian and I wish when I grow up I can go to United Kingdom and wish i could be in the films of harry potter. isn’t this cool
Malfoy is stupid . He always teach the Slytherin bad things like Mudblood , Potter , Plotter, Pimple brain . I hate that stupid MUDBLOOD MALFOY
