## The Leaky Cauldron is the oldest pub in London

Despite what many [Muggles](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/muggles) think, the title of oldest pub in London goes to this well-loved wizarding establishment. Found on Charing Cross Road, the [Leaky Cauldron](/fact-file/locations/the-leaky-cauldron) was built in the 1500s – long before Charing Cross Road was even planned! Its true address is number one, [Diagon Alley](/fact-file/locations/diagon-alley).

## Muggles used to frequent the Leaky Cauldron

This wizarding institution wasn’t always a place that where only magical folk congregated. As it was built two centuries before the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy, it was initially visible to Muggle eyes too. Muggles weren’t made to feel unwelcome or turned away. Having said that, thanks to the *interesting* conversations and even more *interesting* magical pets, many scarpered before finishing their mead.

## Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbott lived above the Leaky Cauldron

In a turn of events that we find extremely adorable, after leaving [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) not only did [Neville](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/neville-longbottom) continue his passion for magical plants as [Herbology](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/herbology) professor, but he also married [Hufflepuff](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/hufflepuff), [Hannah Abbott](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/hannah-abbott-fact-file). The happy couple decided to make a home for themselves living above the one-and-only Leaky Cauldron.

## A pub was the headquarters of a rebellion

Although we never learnt which one it was, according to *Sites of Historical Sorcery*, one of the wizarding pubs in [Hogsmeade](/fact-file/locations/hogsmeade) was said to have been the headquarters of the 1612 [goblin](/fact-file/creatures/goblin) rebellion. Could it have been the [Hog’s Head Inn](/fact-file/locations/the-hogs-head) which was known for its dubious dealings and schemes? Or perhaps it was the cosiness of the [Three Broomsticks](/fact-file/locations/the-three-broomsticks) that convinced the goblins to make it their base?

![pottermore-moments-hp-b5-hogs-head-homepage-hero](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/2zygTLqXtChkWM7Asbbca3/14624eac244b6e0d0dd667458176dd1a/pottermore-moments-hp-b5-hogs-head-homepage-hero.jpg)

## The Hog’s Head Inn was run by a Dumbledore

While [Albus Dumbledore](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/albus-dumbledore) ran Hogwarts, just down the road his brother, [Aberforth Dumbledore](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/aberforth-dumbledore-fact-file), ran the Hog’s Head Inn. Crochety and a big fan of goats, he and his brother didn’t always see eye-to-eye. Ultimately, they were both extremely good people and Aberforth even helped the resistance at Hogwarts after Albus’ death – thanks to a secret passage that connected the [Room of Requirement](/fact-file/locations/the-room-of-requirement) to his pub.

## Sybill Trelawney made her infamous prediction at the Hog’s Head Inn

The Hog’s Head Inn was the location of many crucial story moments from the founding of [Dumbledore’s Army](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/dumbledores-army) to [Hagrid](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/rubeus-hagrid) winning a dragon egg in a game of cards. However, there was one particular moment that changed the course of wizarding history forever. On a gloomy night, Albus Dumbledore went to interview [Sybill Trelawney](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/sybill-trelawney) for the role of [Divination](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/divination) teacher. He was thoroughly unimpressed until, among the ramshackle décor and sticky floor, she made her prediction about the boy destined to end [Voldemort](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/lord-voldemort) and rid the world of his evil!

![pottermore-moments-three-broomsticks-homepage-hero](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/YvfQFf3Sc7Y1rQNcmqoKm/7278f0704d0a659047a66375127ed129/pottermore-moments-three-broomsticks-homepage-hero.jpg)

## Katie Bell was given the cursed opal necklace at The Three Broomsticks

Run by Madam Rosmerta, the Three Broomsticks was a warm and welcoming establishment in Hogsmeade. Yet Dark Magic still managed to worm its way in there in the form of the cursed opal necklace. Part of a clumsy attempt on Dumbledore’s life, [Gryffindor](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/gryffindor) Quidditch team member, [Katie Bell](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/katie-bell), took the necklace from the pub while under the influence of the [Imperius Curse](/fact-file/spells/the-imperius-curse) and narrowly escaped its deadly power.

## It wasn’t just witches and wizards who frequented the Three Broomsticks

Said to be as old as the only all-wizard village in Britain, the Three Broomsticks was a bit of a haven for all sorts of magical beings, such as hags, who couldn’t disguise themselves particularly well in the Muggle world. In fact, Ron and Hermione once thought they spotted an ogre!

Despite being known for her exceptional brain power, [Hermione](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/hermione-granger) also knew the importance of nurturing the other elements of her personality too. It’s a lesson she learnt in her first year after finding genuine friendship. It is also one that we could do with remembering too.

## Don’t be afraid to be bold

![HP-F5-order-of-the-phoenix-ginny-da-wand-determined-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/3yxtbUPaKL5YRyOXEmcss7/b5f3840e6afd0c2e76548570d0532593/HP-F5-order-of-the-phoenix-ginny-da-wand-determined-web-landscape)

If you don’t ask you don’t get! As [Ginny](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ginny-weasley) reminds us, if we shy away from a challenge, we’re never going to achieve our dreams. If we find our courage? Well, the world is our oyster.

## Be proud of who you are

![HP-F4-goblet-of-fire-mcgonagall-desk-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/71JqjFqxFPKBLmoFUGKYJD/22d4d28400d268c5d1382d675b5ce1ae/HP-F4-goblet-of-fire-mcgonagall-desk-web-landscape)

The no-nonsense [McGonagall](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/minerva-mcgonagall) was a witch worth listening to! It’s all too easy to get caught up in the comparison trap, trying to think about who you *should* be and feeling inadequate next to others. However, you are brilliant just the way you are. You are one-of-a-kind. If the Head of [Gryffindor](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/gryffindor) can see that – so can you.

## There is always hope

![HP-F5-order-of-the-phoenix-luna-da-room-of-requirement-casting-patronus-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/5zrwB81bovDEUXWbMyCWia/26babee3a72e41ff8557681a28703f5a/HP-F5-order-of-the-phoenix-luna-da-room-of-requirement-casting-patronus-web-landscape)

## Don’t be afraid to dream big

![WB-HP-F7-hermione-reading-promo-crop](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/7uWvZ2RIgkybj8J1lCs5RA/39672ce02de6ff4e27d39381deb3c05f/WB-HP-F7-hermione-reading-promo-crop.jpg)

EXCERPT-HP-B5-molly-weasley-first-impression-quote

Molly Weasley: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

every-quote-to-live-by-from-your-favourite-witches-text-section-7

A sage piece of advice from [Mrs Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/molly-weasley)! She might have said this to Harry before his [Ministry](/fact-file/locations/the-ministry-of-magic) hearing, but we think this is something that can be applied to many different areas of your life. From making friends to job interviews, things are always easier if you start off on the right foot.

## Do what is right, not what is easy

![WB-HP-F2-hermione-examining-potion-ingredients-with-cauldron-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/4L5hkIozTd68acqd3hpP2I/27590dc492caea34621b56bdd472e45b/WB-HP-F2-hermione-examining-potion-ingredients-with-cauldron-web-landscape.jpg)

‘Well, if you two are going to chicken out, fine… I don’t want to break rules, you know. I think threatening Muggle-borns is far worse than brewing up a difficult potion.’

Hermione Granger: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

every-quote-to-live-by-from-your-favourite-witches-text-section-8

Hermione was the witch who once declared being expelled to be a fate worse than death. To hear her trying to convince [Harry](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/harry-potter) and [Ron](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ron-weasley) to break the rules was rather shocking. Yet she raises an extremely valuable point. Sometimes you need to push the boundaries to do what is right. Following the rules can only go so far – especially if those rules cause more harm than good. It can be hard to stand up and be counted but we should all try to do so.

## Protect what is important

![WB-HP-F8-professor-sprout-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/6PcDR4xjlhQ8xtErVUHYBc/198864f4ef4413d1ed6e50f91411088e/WB-HP-F8-professor-sprout-web-landscape.jpg)

‘I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil.’

EXCERPT-HP-B6-professor-sprout-hogwarts-remain-open-quote

Pomona Sprout: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

every-quote-to-live-by-from-your-favourite-witches-text-section-9

This was a brave statement from [Professor Sprout](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/pomona-sprout) in the wake of [Dumbledore’s](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/albus-dumbledore) death. [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) was so much more than a school. For many like Harry, it was a sanctuary and place they could call home. A place that should be protected. This is a sentiment we could all take on board. We should all work hard to take care of what, and who, is important to us.

## Don’t judge a book by its cover

![hp-f4-fleur-arrival-beauxbatons-great-hall-uniform-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/7L4Bw903CP5Rnv0MuCknWF/16abc8334d6185d0b8be2af4c5f93c45/hp-f4-fleur-arrival-beauxbatons-great-hall-uniform-web-landscape.jpg)

Fleur Delacour: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

every-quote-to-live-by-from-your-favourite-witches-text-section-10

You might think glamorous and goodlooking [Fleur Delacour](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/fleur-delacour) would also be extremely vain. Yet she wasn’t. Filled with self-confidence, she didn’t judge her husband based on his appearance – she knew it was the content of his character that truly mattered. That attitude is one we think everyone should embody.

## Boundaries are good

![mcgonagall-web-header-wand](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/6J6heLMpK9Lee0eL8faPnj/18ebb3e1a6694c1ed440bf094b02a127/mcgonagall-web-headrer.jpg)

## January: The determined and dedicated Oliver Wood is your perfect match

![WB-HP-F1-philosophers-stone-oliver-wood-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/7iJHeRIUbca989dspC4c2t/a8eae533de5cb364c2b8ef17aa39c857/WB-HP-F1-philosophers-stone-oliver-wood-web-landscape.jpg)

When considering your ideal partner, you don’t want someone who is afraid of commitment and isn’t willing to put the work in. You want someone who is going to give the relationship their all. This is why you and [Oliver Wood](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/oliver-wood) make a perfect pair. This [Gryffindor](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/gryffindor) proved his determination time and time again as [Quidditch](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/quidditch) Captain. He was always coming up with training techniques and drills to make the team better. Yes, some of his teammates might have complained about the early starts, but it didn’t put Oliver off… and it worked. That’s the type of dedication you admire.

## February: Your soulmate is the creative and eccentric Luna Lovegood

![WB-HP-F5-luna-lovegood-wears-spectrespecs-with-quibbler-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/5jiVEF9rz3GdDt6go666da/6431193cd66631881320a9921f2913fe/WB-HP-F5-luna-lovegood-wears-spectrespecs-with-quibbler-web-landscape.jpg)

There is nothing that bores you more than blending into the crowd. From your curious insights to your wacky wardrobe, you march to the beat of your own drum. You are proud to celebrate your uniqueness, and you are looking for a partner that doesn’t shy away from their individuality too. This is why [Luna Lovegood](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/luna-lovegood) with her [Spectrespecs](/fact-file/objects/spectrespecs) and radish-like earrings is your ideal match. The two of you would have a joyful relationship that celebrated creativity, eccentricity and a shared belief in the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.

## March: The brilliantly hilarious Ron Weasley is the one for you

![HP-F6-ron-in-bed-smiling-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/51khMqIDGh7ltBpFgDIet4/4390b7228f2368b128a11304e8a73108/HP-F6-ron-in-bed-smiling-web-landscape.jpg)

Life’s too short not to have fun. Who wants to be miserable? Yes, serious things happen but you still want to find the joy in life, and you want a partner who can do that too. This is why you and [Ron Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ron-weasley) would make the perfect pair. From his ‘Merlin's most baggy Y-fronts’ exclamations to quippy ‘Oh, of course… I forgot we’ll be hunting down [Voldemort](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/lord-voldemort) in a mobile library’ comebacks – his quick with would keep you entertained for life.

## April: The elegant and poised Fleur Delacour is your ideal soulmate

![hp-f4-fleur-arrival-beauxbatons-great-hall-uniform-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/7L4Bw903CP5Rnv0MuCknWF/16abc8334d6185d0b8be2af4c5f93c45/hp-f4-fleur-arrival-beauxbatons-great-hall-uniform-web-landscape.jpg)

Graceful, elegant and gliding through life – that’s the ultimate dream. You aren’t interested in awkward situations and embarrassing encounters; you want life to be as serene as possible. As you want this from your partner too, you and [Fleur Delacour](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/fleur-delacour) would make a flawless duo. No matter what situation she faced – from walking into the [Great Hall](/fact-file/locations/the-great-hall) for the first time to rejecting [Yule Ball](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/yule-ball) dates, she was always perfectly poised which is something you appreciate.

## May: The thoroughly good Cedric Diggory is who you’re drawn to

![HP-F4-goblet-fire-cho-cedric-walking-into-yule-ball-together-happy-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/7Gg3rW3wpho401kh28ueXG/2ce6bdeb293a9f962407b31ab38c3c2b/HP-F4-goblet-fire-cho-cedric-walking-into-yule-ball-together-happy-web-landscape)

You have no time for people that like to play games in relationships. You abhor anyone who has a mean streak. You really can’t stand when people are rude to those around them. This is why [Cedric Diggory](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/cedric-diggory) is the perfect person for you. Despite being handsome, intelligent and an extremely talented wizard, this [Hufflepuff](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/hufflepuff) was also humble. He was *good*. He helped Harry despite him being his [Triwizard](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/triwizard-tournament) rival and never let being the rising star at [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) go to his head. Cedric is a partner you would always feel safe with… and he is perfect for you.

## June: Your soulmate is Lavender Brown who wears her heart on her sleeve

![HP-F6-half-blood-prince-weasleys-wizard-wheezes-lavendar-looking-at-ron-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/41iicwNjHTdrMVNZoiTdoC/ddf961f7074d912a9307c0dc9e2716aa/HP-F6-half-blood-prince-weasleys-wizard-wheezes-lavendar-looking-at-ron-web-landscape)

As someone who is often described as vivacious and an open book, you have real difficulty bonding with people who are closed off or reserved. You find those who keep their cards close to their chest rather unsettling – which is why [Lavender Brown](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/lavender-brown) is your soulmate. Whether she was snogging Ron in front of the whole [Gryffindor common room](/fact-file/locations/the-gryffindor-common-room) or giving him gaudy necklaces as a token of her affection, she was not afraid of her emotions or letting everyone else see them. This type of openness is something you can’t help but be drawn to.

## July: Your perfect match is loyal Neville Longbottom

![HP WB F4 Neville and his plant crop ](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/66z5lwGFVYTJTiW2dNdKfw/e99e49796545303b7dec644c11004840/NevilleLongbottom_WB_F4_NevilleLongbottomWithPlantPromoShot_Promo_080615_CROP.jpg)

Don’t underestimate [Neville](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/neville-longbottom). He might have initially been a clumsy underdog, but he soon surpassed that and became a [sword-of-Gryffindor-wielding](/fact-file/objects/the-sword-of-gryffindor) hero. One who was loyal to his friends, his school and loyal to what was right. As someone born in July, this is what you would like to find in a partner. You don’t want a person who could easily be swayed. You want someone who is as committed to you as Neville is to his [Mimbulus mimbletonia](/fact-file/plants-and-potions/mimbulus-mimbletonia), which is why he is the one for you.

## August: The logical and intelligent Hermione Granger is the one for you

![HP-F7-deathly-hallows-part-one-hermione-bill-fleur-wedding-red-dress-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/5aJclseoYsrr4a0y0XPiQY/be44e1bfabc2a5f7422ed6e87a5df30e/HP-F7-deathly-hallows-part-one-hermione-bill-fleur-wedding-red-dress-web-landscape)

As somebody who is known for their sharp mind and love of learning, we think you and the [cleverest witch of her age](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/hermione-granger), who takes the largest books out of the [Hogwarts library](/fact-file/locations/the-hogwarts-library) for ‘light reading’, would get on like a house on fire. Your days would be spent verbally sparring with each other, debating Ancient Rune translations and generally broadening your minds and you wouldn’t want it any other way.

## September: The discerning Draco Malfoy is your wizarding soulmate

![WB-F3-draco-in-care-of-magical-creatures-with-monster-book-of-monsters-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/4FeDA9gWYlkm3iFXZMUOF5/47927d38da6fcc8d4660a5cd92a7e6d6/WB-F3-draco-in-care-of-magical-creatures-with-monster-book-of-monsters-web-landscape.jpg)

There’s nothing wrong with being shrewd or ambitious, these are traits that you rather admire. In fact, you find someone who knows exactly what they want and how to get it extremely attractive. This is why [Draco Malfoy](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/draco-malfoy) is the one for you. We are in no way saying you are prejudiced or a bully like he was. However, the embodiment of [Slytherin](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/slytherin) traits, he was not afraid to openly say he liked the finer things in life or believe he deserved them – just like you.

## October: Fiery Ginny Weasley is your magical match

![GinnyWeasley WB F6 GinnyAtSlughornsParty Still 080615 Land](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/4otWY19HKE4WyOOy4Q0wSu/66177ea78a84f5e28b9fb79b2b961e51/GinnyWeasley_WB_F6_GinnyAtSlughornsParty_Still_080615_Land.jpg)

If there was a witch that knew exactly who she was, it was [Ginny Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ginny-weasley). Having had a rough start at Hogwarts she blossomed into a fierce and phenomenal person – with an excellent talent for the [Bat-Bogey Hex](/fact-file/spells/the-bat-bogey-hex). That self-assuredness is something that you are looking for in a partner. You don’t want somebody who doesn’t take the time to work on being the best version of themselves. You want someone who is confident and powerful – exactly like Ginny.

## November: Harry Potter’s bravery is what makes him your soulmate

![HP-F8-harry-lake-web-header](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/3SzHQWDxZAPjea1KYpaIO0/cc24a62a6e35937f165b190cf14df8e6/harry_heaer.png)

[Harry Potter](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/harry-potter) is not afraid to confront the difficult things in life. He doesn’t shy away from a challenge or let fear stop him. He puts himself out there whether that’s soaring through the sky on his [broomstick](/fact-file/objects/broomstick), fighting the forces of evil or summoning up the courage to ask his crush to the Yule Ball. This is something that you strongly relate to. You’re not one to be called timid and you can’t stand cowardice.

## December: The glass half-empty Moaning Myrtle is your perfect match

There is no person that gets on your nerves more than the one who is relentlessly optimistic. You don’t have time from all that chirpiness and being constantly told to look on the bright side. In fact, being stuck with someone like that would be your worst nightmare. You want someone who will always look on the gloomy side – which is why [Moaning Myrtle](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/moaning-myrtle) (emphasis on the *Moaning*) is your perfect match. Despite her crush on Harry Potter, with your maudlin outlook, we’re sure you could win her over and many (un)happy centuries sitting in the [u-bend of a Hogwarts toilet](/fact-file/locations/moaning-myrtles-bathroom) discussing all the reasons why everything is awful.

Just some wholesome behind-the-scenes moments from the Harry Potter films

## Where it all began…
It wouldn’t be Harry Potter without, well, [Harry Potter](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/harry-potter)… or [Ron Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ron-weasley) or [Hermione Granger](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/hermione-granger). And as we are taking a trip down memory lane, why not start at the beginning when Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson found out that they would get to play this iconic trio.

## The softer side of Peeves
[Peeves](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/peeves) isn’t the type of Poltergeist to put people at ease. He specialises in making people uneasy, perhaps mildly amused or filled with the rage of a thousand [Hungarian Horntails](/fact-file/creatures/hungarian-horntail) (if you happen to be Argus Filch). Luckily, the actor who was slated to play this impish character – comedy legend Rik Mayall no less – was far more welcoming and calmed a nervous James and Oliver Phelps (the Weasley twins) at the first read-through…

 “I can remember being pretty scared about the read-through, even though we only had about four or five lines to say,” says Oliver. “I didn’t really like reading in front of people at school, let alone a load of actors. But we had Rik Mayall sitting next to us. He was in the cast for the first film as Peeves [later cut from the movie], and I can remember that he totally took all the nerves away, just chatting and having a joke with us, and that really calmed me down.”

## Someone has overdone it on the Cheering Charm
We’ve all been there, you’re supposed to be taking something seriously and you just can’t help but burst out laughing. It even happens to film stars! It certainly happened to Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe. The two of them could not get through the scene where they first meet on the [Hogwarts Express](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/hogwarts-express) without giggling. In the end, they had to film it separately with Chris Columbus standing in for each of them as the other filmed their lines. This wasn’t the only time when it appeared this pair had overdone it on a Cheering Charm – see for yourself…

## Life imitates art
Gary Oldman is a powerhouse of an actor, so we understand why Daniel Radcliffe might have been nervous to work with such a talent. You know who else was intimidatingly cool? Gary’s character, Sirius Black. And in a lovely chain of events, life started to imitate art when (according to the director of *Prisoner of Azkaban*, Alfonso Cuarón), Daniel Radcliffe’s relationship with Gary Oldman began to mirror Harry’s with [Sirius](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/sirius-black).

“That was an amazing turning point in Daniel’s life as an actor,” Cuarón enthuses. “Very soon I could see Daniel alive, but in a different way. Suddenly there was an emotional core within him that was alive. At the beginning, he was so scared to do his scenes with Gary; he was so insecure. Daniel was thinking to himself, ‘I’m doing everything wrong; look at this guy.’ So I said to him, ‘Gary is also concerned about how he’s delivering his lines and how he’s listening to you. Just get into that.’ I could see from that point on, when I was prepping the shot or doing technical stuff with the camera, Gary and Daniel walking together in the distance and rehearsing the scene between the two of them. I think that was the point in which Daniel started approaching acting in a different way.”

## Heroic deeds indeed…
This behind-the-scenes clip is supposedly about how to navigate the tricky moving staircase, but *really* we think it is about a lovely moment between our main three… and Daniel Radcliffe’s wit.

## A friendly face
Being away from home is tough – especially the very first time. Emma Watson found herself in that exact situation, but luckily she had a few squishy friends to keep her company…


“Looking back, I have no idea how I did what I did,” Watson remembers. “We were on location for four or five weeks in Newcastle and I was away from home for the first time; I’d never been away from my family for that long. I brought my Beanie Babies and cuddly toys with me.”

## The many faces of Lucius Malfoy
[Lucius Malfoy](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/lucius-malfoy) is a foul [Death Eater](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/death-eaters), cruel character and a terrible father. So, we think its lucky (especially for a young Tom Felton) that Jason Isaacs was not a method actor. Instead, he took young Tom under his wing and dazzled him with his amazing acting skills… 


 “I was a bit daunted when I heard that Jason was going to play my dad, but he’s the nicest guy you’d ever meet, and we just clicked. He is the consummate actor. Usually, most actors would give themselves a moment to get into character. But he’d be telling me a story right before a scene, and as he’s saying, ‘I was working with Scorsese on this film . . .’ we’d hear ‘Action!’ and boom, he turns straightaway into this insane person—literally Lucifer himself. It’s a crazy transformation, and he does it in a heartbeat, which, for me to watch, was great.”

## Finding the perfect McGonagall
[Professor McGonagall](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/minerva-mcgonagall) is a wonderfully complex character who knows exactly how to walk the line of strict but fair. And we couldn’t think of anyone who encapsulates that better than Dame Maggie Smith – and we’re not the only ones…

## Weasleys stick together!
Imagine being cast in a series of films, only to find out you can’t stand those playing the rest of your family. An absolute nightmare, right? Luckily, this was not the case for the [Weasleys](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/the-weasleys). From the moment he met his onscreen mum (the wonderful Julie Walters), Oliver Phelps knew this was something special…

Meeting their new mother was also a memorable experience for the twins, remembers Oliver. “We were in King’s Cross station, and we were all standing next to the Hogwarts Express, just waiting to go on, and we heard this voice shout, ‘Where are my boys?!’ Julie comes up, and that’s when we met her, and I think that’s when we knew that we were all going to be a pretty good match for the Weasleys.”

__Warning! There are some mild spoilers ahead. If you haven’t read all the Harry Potter books, you might want to turn back now…__

## The basics 

__1. Wingardium Leviosa__
<br>
With a simple swish and flick you can use this spell to levitate objects… as long as you get the incantation right. Remember that it’s Levi-*o*-sa not Leviosaaa.

__2. Expelliarmus__
<br>
It might be a relatively simple spell but do not underestimate the power of the Disarming Charm. There’s a reason it became [Harry’s](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/harry-potter) signature move…this spell will knock another wizard or witch’s wand out of their hand. You can even see it in the incantation: the spell is comprised of combined Latin – meaning roughly to ‘drive out a weapon’. 

__3. Lumos__
<br>
Want a way to read under the covers when it’s supposed to be lights out? Walking down a street at night and need a little extra illumination? It’s suddenly night-time and the light switch is inconveniently on the other side of the room? Then you need *Lumos*, the Wand-Lighting charm. Mutter the incantation and watch your wand glow.

__4. Nox__
<br>
So, your wand is lit up like a Christmas tree, but now you crave a bit of darkness? This is where *Nox* comes into play. The opposite of *Lumos*, it extinguishes the light at the end of your wand.

__5. Accio__
<br>
This spell allows you to summon objects whether they’re in your line of vision or out of it. From summoning a Firebolt to take on a nesting dragon to having that cup of tea fly from the kitchen to your outstretched hand, it comes in handy.

__6. Alohomora__ 
<br>
If there’s a pesky locked door that needs opening, then we recommend the Unlocking Charm. It proved to be useful when Harry, Ron and Hermione needed to make a quick escape from [Filch](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/argus-filch). Unfortunately, that particular door led to a giant three-headed dog… but when faced with an irate caretaker or Fluffy, we’d rather face the latter.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 

HP-F1

and the Philosopher's Stone 

your-guide-to-the-best-spells-in-harry-potter-text-section-3

__7. Colloportus__
<br>
Ok, so now you can unlock things, but what about sealing them? That’s what *Colloportus* is for. Harry, Hermione, Neville and Luna, all used it to lock the doors of the Department of Mysteries behind them as they were chased by [Death Eaters](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/death-eaters). Way faster than cumbersome, jangling keys. 

__8. Expecto Patronum__
<br>
Also known as the Patronus Charm, this incantation uses the power of a happy memory to create a positive force that acts as a protective magical guardian against [Dementors](/fact-file/creatures/dementor) (and a couple of Slytherins gate-crashing a Quidditch match). Already a difficult spell, it takes a great deal of skill to produce a corporeal Patronus – which takes the form of an animal that the spell caster has the deepest affinity with. 

Fun fact! Even though he had the ability to produce a corporeal (AKA a more fuller, more formed) Patronus, [Remus Lupin](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/remus-lupin) always opted not to, as it took the form of a wolf – which he despised.

__9. Riddikulus__
<br>
Boggarts are nasty shape-shifting creatures that take the form of whatever you fear most. Laughter is the way to defeat them, and this is achieved using the Boggart-Banishing Charm – *Riddikulus*. Think of something funny whilst saying this incantation and the Boggart will take on a comical form… like Snape in the clothes of Neville’s grandmother (he really suited that vulture-topped hat). When it comes to your fears, laughing in the face of them usually does the trick.

__10. Obliviate__
<br>
[Gilderoy Lockhart](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/gilderoy-lockhart) was a whizz at this memory-altering spell. Once his unsuspecting target had divulged their most interesting stories – whether that’s battling a banshee or gadding with ghouls – he simply had to say the incantation, wipe their memory and then write his next bestseller by passing off their stories as his own. Other wizards and witches would often use this spell on Muggles, should they accidentally see any magical occurrences.  

__11. Petrificus Totalus__
<br>
The Body-Bind Curse that causes a person’s limbs to lock so they cannot move (except their eyes) is useful against enemies… and sometimes friends. Neville was once on the receiving end of this curse when he tried to stop the golden trio from sneaking out, and Hermione used it against him. It all worked out in the end: Neville’s stoic attitude against his friends earnt him a vital 10 points for Gryffindor, even if he might’ve been scared stiff. 

__12. Stupefy__
<br>
The Stunning Spell renders its target unconscious. However, you need to be careful with this one as it can cause damage – especially if a person is hit by more than one. Professor McGonagall had four hit her in the chest at once and ended up having to be transported to [St Mungo’s](/fact-file/locations/st-mungos-hospital).


your-guide-to-the-best-spells-in-harry-potter-text-section-5

## Spells that are a little more niche 

__13. Slugulus Erecto__
<br>
Remember when Ron Weasley told Malfoy to ‘eat slugs’ and it went spectacularly wrong? Well, what Ron was trying to do was cast *Slugulus Erecto* – the spell that causes the target to vomit, you guessed it, slugs. Incredibly gross but incredibly useful for enemies… as long as your wand is intact.

HP-F2

your-guide-to-the-best-spells-in-harry-potter-text-section-6

__14. Anteoculatia__
<br>
Who wouldn’t want antlers? You? Ok, who wouldn’t want the ability to give your enemy a pair of antlers – as a practical joke of course? Pansy Parkinson ended up with a rather fetching pair during her time as a member of Umbridge’s Inquisitorial Squad… oh deer.

__15. Rictusempra__
<br>
This is a spell that is guaranteed to give you the giggles. *Rictusempra* is the Tickling Charm – perfect for both your friends and your enemies. Harry once used it on Malfoy who was so overwhelmed by the tickling sensation that he fell to his knees in fits of laughter.

__16. Cantis__
<br>
Who doesn’t love a singalong? With the Singing Charm you can make anyone join in with you. Remember the suits of armour that sang carols at Christmas? They were all under this spell.

__17. Locomotor Wibbly__
<br>
We had to include a spell which had a name as entertaining as this one! The Jelly Legs Jinx is one to make you giggle. Imagine casting it upon an unsuspecting friend and watching as they wibble-wobble all over the place – fun! Hermione once used it on Harry when he was training for the [Triwizard Tournament](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/triwizard-tournament), and he had to walk around with wobbly blancmange legs for ten whole minutes. 

HP-F4-harry-seamus-ron-laughing-web-landscape

your-guide-to-the-best-spells-in-harry-potter-text-section-7

__18. Tarantallegra__
<br>
Yet another leggy entry! This spell is the Dancing Jinx and causes your target’s legs to begin dancing uncontrollably. We can think of a few times that this might come in handy… especially for a bit of light-hearted revenge. Your rival is making a big speech? Boom! Suddenly their legs are moving faster than the cast of Riverdance. Your enemy is slow dancing with the person you like? Let’s make it a quickstep… the possibilities are endless.

__19. Glisseo__
<br>
Why walk everywhere when you can slide? If we could wield the Sliding Spell that flattens stairs into chutes, we would never set foot on a top step again. Hermione once used this spell to quickly escape from Death Eaters – who says practicality can’t be fun!

__20. Lapifors__ 
<br>
Hey, do you have a sudden urge to cuddle a soft bunny rabbit? No problem. Lapifors is an incredibly specific spell that can turn small creatures into rabbits. Even household pests, like [gnomes](/fact-file/creatures/gnome), can be transformed into them apparently. Perhaps the Weasley family secretly liked hurling them across the garden.


your-guide-to-the-best-spells-in-harry-potter-text-section-8

## Spells that are Dark but important to the stories…

__21. Morsmordre__
<br>
This incantation is used by Death Eaters to conjure the Dark Mark – Voldemort’s symbol. The image of a skull with a snake tongue is terrible enough, but when it is cast, it often signals that something terrible has happened in that location. In *Half-Blood Prince*, it loomed over Hogwarts school and on that same night Dumbledore was killed.

your-guide-to-the-best-spells-in-harry-potter-text-section-9

__22. Sectumsempra__
<br>
This spell was invented by a certain Half-Blood Prince, otherwise known as Severus Snape. He was an angry teenager if this creation, the Laceration Curse, is anything to go by. Unfortunately, Harry once used it on Draco (unaware of its effects) and Malfoy was badly injured. Long bloody gashes appeared as if he had been slashed by a sword. Ironically, it was only thanks to the creator of this spell, Snape, that he survived.

__23. Crucio__
<br>
Now we move onto the Unforgivable Curses, so called because they are, well, unforgivable. The Cruciatus Curse inflicted intense, excruciating pain on the target. It was used by [Bellatrix Lestrange](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/bellatrix-lestrange) to torture Hermione Granger. She also used it to torture Neville’s parents into insanity. They ended up spending the rest of their lives, unaware of who they were, on a ward at St Mungo’s.

__24. Imperio__
<br>
The second of these three heinous spells is the Imperious Curse. It places the targets completely under the caster’s control. Although it doesn’t directly cause pain or death it is dangerous. For example, the Death Eater, Corban Yaxley, placed Pius Thicknesse under this curse to act as Voldemort's puppet Minister for Magic. 

Interestingly, those with an exceptional strength of will are able to resist it – as Harry demonstrated in Moody’s [Defence Against the Dark Arts](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/defence-against-the-dark-arts) lesson. 

__25. Avada Kedavra__ 
<br>
The most evil spell of them all – the Killing Curse. If you cast this on someone, and really mean it, you can callously and quickly kill them with a jet of green light. It was how Harry’s parents were murdered. Yet, there was one person who escaped this spell not once but twice – The Boy Who Lived… though you probably know him as Harry Potter.
