Harry Potter spells abound in the world of magic. Some of these Harry Potter spells are simple and do small things, such as lift an object and hold it in the air. Other Harry Potter spells are much more complicated and allow the caster to transform objects and creatures into other things. Take this Harry Potter Spells quiz to test your knowledge on the spells of the Harry Potter universe!

Harry Potter has been a favorite series for kids, teens and adults since its first book hit the shelves in 1997. The series has spawned six sequel novels, a play, eight mainline movies and a spinoff series. Even though the books finished over a decade ago, the wizarding world still remains one of the most well-known and loved franchises in the world.

Fun Facts

Did you know the author of Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling, based many of the stories in the novels on her own experiences? She based the entire character of Hermione Granger on herself as a child, and the character Dolores Umbridge was inspired by one of her past teachers. Rowling has also experienced and struggled with depression in her life, and she included the dementors in the series as a way to describe that.

Many of the spells in the series, as well as Hogwarts' official motto, are based on actual languages. The motto, "Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus," means "Never tickle a sleeping dragon," and Accio is Latin for "I summon." However, not all of the inspiration is Latin. Some incantations come from English, Aramaic and French.
