Pfft. Silly excuses.:rolleyes:

 

Neh, just kidding, HP is a great seeker, just wanted to point out that not all Hufflepuffs are duffers.

 

BTW, did you know that Harry Potter's full name is Harry James Potter?

Well, since Marrakesh can't, can I duel instead? Pleeeeeeease...

 

Edit:

 

BTW, Harry's mother's wand was best for charms.

 

Another edit:

 

BTW, pretty easy question, but what is the symbol of Ravenclaw? (include what colours there are)

 

Sure! :D

 

Correct answer on Harry's mother's wand. :)

 

And the symbol of Ravenclaw is a Raven - their colors are blue and bronze.

 

:edit: Sorry Wes, wizard duels only. :( I can probably shoot you a link to a webpage that can give you some info on the spells from the books, if you want though... that way you can duel too. :) :/edit:

Hehehehehehe, actually thats wrong - the Ravenclaw symbol is, belive it or not, an eagle. The colours were correct though.

 

About the wizard duel...shall I start?

You sure? I guess I had raven/ravenclaw so embedded in my head. That seems right though, now that you mention it.

Wes,

 

Here's a partial list of spells. Be sure NEVER to use Avada Kedavra, Crutacius, or Imperius - these are the "Unforgiveable Curses" and the use of any of them will land you in Azkaban Prison, where you will be tormented by Dementors until your death. Also, you shouldn't use Morsmordre, as the Dark Mark that it summons is the sign of Voldemort (and unless you're one powerful Death Eater, it's best not to use it).

 

Accio (summoning charm) - Latin for "to summon."

 

Avada Kedavra (killing curse) - Arameic phrase that means "may it be destroyed." Also, "ABRA KADABRA!" Sounds like it...

 

Avis (spell that Ollivander used to make birds fly out of Krum's wand) - Latin for "bird."

 

Cunjunctivitus Curse (spell that Krum used to "do something" to the eyes of the Chinese Fireball during the first task of the TWT) - Conjunctivitis is the scientific name for pink-eye -- the illness that children often get that makes eyelids crust together.

 

Crutacius Curse - "Cruciato" is Latin for "to torture."

 

Deletrius (banishing spell) - Latin for "to erase."

 

Densuageo (spell that Malfoy used to make Hermione's front teeth grow huge) - "Dens" is Latin for "teeth." "Augeo" is Latin for "to enlarge."

 

Diffindo (spell Harry used to cause Cedric's bag to split apart) - In Latin, "Diffundo" means "scatter."

 

Ennervate (used to revive someone who has been stunned) - Strangely, in Latin it means "weaken or destory" which is the opposite of the spell's effect.

 

Expelliarmus (disarming spell) - Latin combination "to expel" and "arma" (weapon).

 

Impedimenta (used to slow down attackers) - "Impedio" is Latin for "to hinder."

 

Imperius Curse - "Impero" is Latin for "to control" and "imperium" is Latin for "absolute control."

 

Lumos (used to make light emit from a wand) - "Lumen" is Latin for "light" and "luminous" means "emitting light" in English.

 

Morsmordre (makes the Dark Mark appear in the sky) - Combination between "mors" (Latin for "death") and "modere" (Latin for "to bite".) Death bite? No -- Death Eater.

 

Nox (cancels out Lumos) - Nox was the Greek Goddess of Darkness/Night. Nox is also Latin for "darkness".

 

Orchideous (makes flowers spring out of the tip of a wand) - "Orchid" means "flower."

 

Og - In Aragorna Finnigan's book, Rainbow, a character named Og is a leprechaun-turned-mortal.

 

Expecto Patronum (dementor defense spell) - "Patronus" is Latin for "protector."

 

Priori Incantatem (Prior Incantation Emitter) - this is latin. "priori" meaning "before" or "prior" and incantatem for spells or incantations. so it could mean something along the lines of "spells having been cast before" or "prior spells" etc.

 

Quietus (cancels out "Sonorus") - Obviously "quiet" means to be silent, but "quietus" in Latin means "death." Strange...

 

Reducio (shrinking charm) - "Reduce" means "to make smaller" in English.

 

Riddikulus (spell used to transform a scary Boggart in to a humorous shape) - "Ridiculous" means "absurd."

 

Sonorous (spell used to magnify a voice like a loudspeaker) - "Sono" is Latin for "to make a sound."

 

Stupefy (spell used to make someone unconscious) - "Stupefy" in English means "dull the senses of; daze."
