Harry Potter spells that debuted in Fantastic Beasts’
Chapter 3
With November 2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and November 2018’s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, J.K. Rowling came up with several new spells that should be considered canon. Here are the new spells we pulled from her screenplays, which were released concurrently with the movies.
– Appare Vestigium: Tracking spell that “materializes as a swirl of gold” and shows “traces of recent magical activity.” Used by Newt to track beasts and Tina.
– Avenseguim: Takes an object owned by someone and turns it into a way to track that person down. Newt used the spell on the feather from Kama’s cap to find him.
– Finite: A spell to counter Protego Diabolica. Used by Flamel and friends. We’ve seen this one before, but not in this way.
– Nebulus: Creates a swirling fog. Used by Dumbledore to stay under cover, descends over London.
– Protego Diabolica: Creates a protective circle — those who are truly on Grindelwald’s side can walk through the flame. Notably, Rowling describes the flame twice as a “black fire,” but in the movie it’s blue.
– Surgito: Removes a love enchantment spell. Used by Newt on Jacob to remove Queenie’s enchantment.
– Papyrus Reparo: Repairs a torn up postcard.
– Ventus: A spell to create a hurricane-force wind, used by Newt to repel the Auror Stebbins.
