Every Wizard and Witch Must Learn This Book of Spells By Heart!

How many different spells exist in total in the fantastical world of Harry Potter? We do not possess this knowledge – and we bet neither do you, dear wizard or witch who is now reading this!

Perhaps, we should ask Albus Dumbledore or maybe – Miss Hermione Granger herself? Why, that's a splendid idea – if you happen to know their personal address and your pet owl can fly that far! 

But what if your letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrives in the morning? Will you face the school of your dreams unready? Unprepared? Without a single spell in your arsenal to wow your peers?

Don't you worry – we got you covered! Here's our very own...

Top Ten Most Essential Spells You Should Know 

1. ACCIO: Use this first charm to summon an object towards you  – no matter how far away it is!

2. ALOHOMORA: Use this charm to unlock and open any door you want!

3. EXPECTO PATRONUM: Use this powerful charm to cast a Patronus – a physical manefistation of your feelings – which will guard you against Dementors (which you should beware of!) 

4. EXPELLIARMUS: Use this charm to disarm your opponent in battle – or indeed, a friendly wizard you're playing a joke on!

5. LUMOS: Use this simple charm to make light beam straight out of your magic wand!

6. MORSMORDRE: Use this (somewhat scary) charm to reveal the Dark Mark on someone's arm in case you suspect they might be a...Death Eater!

7. OBLIVIATE: Use this charm to hide memories – we know what it feels like to wake up in the morning and wish last night never happened!

8. PETRIFICUS TOTALUS: Here's another charm that's bound to come in use if you happen to encounter an enemy –  use it to immobilise your opponent at once!

9. REPARO: Use this easy charm to repair whatever it is that is broken! Shhh! We won't tell if you won't!

10. WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA: Use Hermione's favourite spell to make any object levitate! Just be sure to pronounce it exactly right – or she will come for you...
