Hogwarts Legacy Spell Guide

All spells in Hogwarts Legacy -- from essential core charms to devastating combat curses and powerful utility magic.

Expelliarmus

core

A disarming charm that forces opponents to release whatever they are holding. It deals moderate damage and can break enemy shield charms when timed correctly.

Protego

core

A powerful shield charm that blocks incoming spells and projectiles. Perfectly timed casts reflect spells back at attackers and open them up for a devastating counter-attack.

Stupefy

core

A stunning spell that temporarily immobilizes enemies, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. It is automatically cast after a successful Protego parry.

Accio

core

A summoning charm that pulls objects and enemies toward the caster. It is highly effective for pulling shielded enemies out of position and into combo range.

Wingardium Leviosa

utility

A levitation charm that lifts objects and enemies into the air, leaving them helpless. Levitated targets can be slammed into the ground or thrown at other enemies for area damage.

Reparo

utility

A mending charm that repairs broken objects and reassembles destroyed structures. It is essential for solving environmental puzzles and restoring bridges throughout the open world.

Alohomora

utility

An unlocking charm that opens locked doors, chests, and gates throughout Hogwarts and the surrounding areas. Higher-level locks require upgraded versions obtained by collecting Demiguise Statues.

Avada Kedavra

unforgivable

The Killing Curse that instantly defeats any enemy it hits, regardless of their health or level. It has a very long cooldown but can be upgraded with talents to chain-kill cursed targets.

Flipendo

combat

A jinx that pushes enemies backward with considerable force, dealing damage on impact. It is especially effective near ledges and environmental hazards where knockback can be lethal.

Diffindo

combat

A severing charm that slices through enemies with a focused magical blade. It deals high direct damage and can cut through enemy shields with its precise, slashing trajectory.

Glacius

combat

A freezing spell that encases enemies in ice, immobilizing them completely. Frozen enemies take increased damage from follow-up attacks, making it an excellent combo opener.

Incendio

combat

A fire-making spell that engulfs nearby enemies in flames, dealing continuous burn damage. It has a short range but hits in an area, making it devastating against groups of enemies.

Descendo

combat

A spell that violently slams airborne or grounded enemies into the earth with crushing force. It deals massive damage to levitated targets and creates a shockwave that staggers nearby foes.

Depulso

combat

A banishing charm that repels enemies and objects away from the caster with tremendous force. It deals heavy impact damage and can launch enemies into walls or off cliffs for bonus damage.

Confringo

combat

A blasting curse that launches a bolt of explosive fire at long range, detonating on impact. It ignites enemies and deals splash damage, making it ideal for initiating combat from a distance.
