Stupefy: Similar to its name, this spell gives players the opportunity to stun an enemy during battle. While it causes no direct damage, it can make enemies more vulnerable to normal attacks. On lower difficulties this spell also can break a shield spell. This is another essential spell you will pick up on ā€œThe Path To Hogwartsā€ quest.

Beast Feed: While it doesnā€™t sound like a spell, youā€™ll gain the magic of animal friendship as this allows you to feed beasts. This is a utility spell, and is picked up during the ā€œBeasts Classā€ main story line.

Beast Petting Brush: Similar to Beast Feed, this will let players interact with their animals and groom them. You also unlock this in the ā€œBeasts Classā€ storyline, and it also functions as a utility spell.

Disillusionment: This spell is great for stealth, as it allows you to blend with your surroundings and makes it tougher for enemies to see you. This is also an important spell to use before trying to use the Petrificus Totalus spell. It is considered a utility spell and is unlocked during the ā€œSecrets of The Restricted Sectionā€ main story quest.

Lumos: Another classic from the series, Lumos acts as a flashlight that assists with dark areas or even specific light based puzzles. It is listed as a utility spell, but youā€™ll pick it up early during ā€œThe Path to Hogwartsā€ quest.

This can be helpful in battle reducing enemies to harmless toys or objects, or in converting everyday objects into important puzzle pieces. This is picked up during ā€œProfessor Weasleyā€™s Assignment.ā€

Accio: This is one of the most useful spells from the original series, and is just as helpful in Hogwarts Legacy, as it allows players to summon a number of objects quickly. It can also be used to bring enemies closer for combo attacks. This is the first force style spell, and is gained during the ā€œCharms Classā€ main story quest.

Descendo: Another force spell, Descendo will send enemies flying towards the floor, and while the spell itself wonā€™t cause any direct damage, the force of the enemy hitting the ground will cause significant injury. This spell is best used when tackling airborne enemies who will have the most damage accrued by the longer fall. This spell is picked up during ā€œProfessor Onaiā€™s Assignment.ā€

Depulso: Depulso works as another force spell, and is another shielding style spell which will deflect higher force thrown enemies projectiles and objects, making it helpful against stronger enemies. Depulso is picked up during ā€œProfessor Sharā€™s Assignment 1.ā€

Flipendo: Another spell where itā€™s all in the name, Flipendo simply flips an enemy or object backwards and upwards, providing some defense against charging attackers, as well as a solution to certain object puzzles. This is classified as a force spell, and is attained during ā€œProfessor GArlickā€™s Assignment 2.ā€

Bombarda: Bombarda is a large blast of a spell, dealing impressive amounts of damage when it hits its target, and even more explosive surrounding damage that extends to other objects and enemies around its target. This can be incredibly helpful against big bosses or large groups of enemies, as it is the first major damage classified spell. Players will get Bombarda during ā€œProfessor Howinā€™s Assignment.ā€

Incendio: This is a powerful damage spell that will also light specific objects on fire, though its range is not as strong as something like Confringo. Youā€™ll get Incendio during ā€œProfessor Hecatā€™s Assignment 1.ā€

Altering Spell: The first of the transfiguration spells, an Altering spell will give the player the ability to adjust the features of certain items when used in the Room of Requirement. This spell is more for fun than practical effects, but can be used to make your space your own, as it is picked up during the side quest ā€œInterior Decorating.ā€

Conjuring Spell: Another transfiguration spell, this allows players to conjure specific items into existence, but this is only available in the Room of Requirement. Youā€™ll get this spell during the main story quest, ā€œThe Room of Requirement.ā€

Imperio: The first of the sinister unforgivable curses, Imperio will let players take over the mind of an enemy and get them to fight on your side in battles. Note if there is an NPC there they will likely admonish you for using this spell. You gain access to Imperio during the ā€œIn the Shadow of Timeā€ relationship quest.

Crucio: The second of the three unforgivable curses, Crucio causes torturous pain to enemies that causes them to take sustained damage as the spell goes on, while also cursing them to take extra damage from other attacks. Players will get access to Crucio when playing through the ā€œIn the Shadow of the Studyā€ relationship quest.

Avada Kedavra: The most heinous and last of the unforgivable curses, Avada Kedavra will instantly kill any enemy you cast it at, as well as get harsh criticisms from any NPCs around you if you choose to use this deadly curse. You can learn Avada Kedavra by completing the relationship quest ā€œIn the Shadow of the Relic.ā€
