Who wouldn’t like to have a little magic in their life? At least as long as one is not threatened by evil wizards and nasty monsters. But a few small spells here and there would definitely not hurt. We have ranked the 10 most practical spells from Harry Potter for everyday use.
What was the ranking based on? Spells in Harry Potter are usually cast through incantations. While magic can also be performed nonverbally, the corresponding incantation is typically recited in one’s thoughts.
- In the ranking, we only look at spells whose incantations are known.
Therefore, practical tricks from Molly Weasley are not included. Specifically, the self-cleaning dishes would have certainly earned a spot on this list.
Soon, the witch life simulation Witchbrook will be released, where you can experience a relaxed everyday life full of magic:
Rank 10: Impervius
With Impervius – please don’t confuse it with the Unforgivable Curse Imperius! – you can enchant objects in such a way that they repel water. In Harry Potter, the spell is primarily used in Quidditch. But of course, it would also be useful in everyday life, especially when it rains.
Whether you magically make your glasses water-repellent, waterproof your clothes, or protect objects from water – Impervius is a nice help.
Unfortunately, the enchantment doesn’t last very long, so you have to constantly refresh it. Additionally, in most cases, you could simply use an umbrella. Impervius is nice, but not groundbreaking, and therefore ranks last in this ranking.
