(False memory charm)
Type: Charm
Description: Implants a false memory in the victim without them realising it was not originally theirs.
Seen/Mentioned: Voldemort used this spell twice; firstly in 1943 upon his uncle Morfin Gaunt, then sometime later on the house-elf Hokey. Both instances were to hide his crimes and make the victims believe they were responsible. It is likely that Kingsley Shacklebolt used this spell on Marietta Edgecombe in 1996 in order to prevent her from revealing Dumbledore's Army to Cornelius Fudge. This is reinforced by Dumbledore stating that Shacklebolt was "remarkably quick on the uptake" in modifying her memory. It is possible that Professor Horace Slughorn used this in the next school year to hide his memory of Voldemort asking him about Horcruxes, although as he retained awareness of the true memory his spell may be a different one. It is also possible that he simply repressed it to such a degree that it could not be extracted from him against his will, as the memory he gave Dumbledore simple went blank at the right times and was replaced by a disembodied shouting, rather than images; this was noted to be crudely done. Hermione Granger used this in 1997 to make her parents believe they were named Wendell and Monica Wilkins respectively, that they have no daughter, and to make them move to Australia in order to protect them from Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

Type: Charm
Description: Makes an object light as a feather.

Type: Transfiguration
Description: Transforms a ferret into a human.
Seen/Mentioned: It was used by Minerva McGonagall on Draco Malfoy in 1994.
Ferula (Bandaging Charm)
Type: Conjuration, Healing spell
Pronunciation: fer-ROOL-lah
Description: Conjures up bandages and wraps them around a wound, splinting any broken bones.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Remus Lupin in 1994 to bind Ronald Weasley's broken leg.
Etymology: Latin ferula means "walking-stick" or "splint".
Fianto Duri
FiantoDurihs
Type: Charm
Pronunciation: fee-AN-toh DOO-ree
Description: A defensive charm which, based on the etymology, strengthens shield spells, and perhaps objects in general, in a similar way to Duro.
Seen/Mentioned: Used to protect Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1998.
Etymology: Latin fiant means "become" and duri means "hard".
(Fidelius Charm)
Type: Charm
Description: An immensely complex charm used to hide secret information within the soul of the charm's recipient, who is called a Secret-Keeper. The information is irretrievable unless the Secret-Keeper willingly chooses to reveal it, and only the aforementioned person can do so.
Seen/Mentioned: In 1993, it was explained that when Harry was merely an infant, he and his parents were hidden from Voldemort with this charm; from 1995 onward it was used to protect Grimmauld Place, and in 1998 it was used to protect Shell Cottage.
Etymology: Latin fidelis, which means "faithful".
Notes: Although when a Secret-Keeper dies the secret they held can never be revealed to anyone else[18], in 1997 it is apparent that upon the Keeper's death all those who had been told the secret become keepers in turn.
Notes (2): This charm seems to have no effect with regard to animals, as Hedwig found Ron and Hermione in a location that was protected by this charm; however, it is possible that Dumbledore somehow told her, ludicrous though such may seem.
Notes (3): In 1981, Hagrid managed to get to Harry before all the Muggles could look at it; this makes it appear as though the Killing Curse will negate the effect of the Fidelius Charm.
Notes (4): Those who have been told of the secret by secret-keepers still cannot pass the secret on, as proven by Severus Snape and Bellatrix Lestrange.
