A website that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2000 could be replaced by a wordpress blog built in an afternoon by a teenager in 2015. Did that kill web development? No, it just expanded what was worth building

prompt: finding every spell in all Harry Potter books in the first 4 books, only the officially documented spells across those 4 books, there are 50, without using websearch

Here's my best compilation from memory, organized by book. I'll be upfront: getting to exactly 50 is tricky without cross-referencing, so some might be debatable or I might miss a couple. Here goes:

A few caveats: some of these (like Lumos Maxima, Homorphus, Peskipiksi Pesternomi) are borderline since they're either mentioned rather than properly cast, or might be film additions that bleed into memory. The Conjunctivitis Curse is described but its incantation isn't explicitly given in the text. And Protego might technically first appear with its incantation in Book 5 during DA practice rather than Book 4.

If you want, I can turn this into a spreadsheet or document with columns for spell name, effect, who casts it, and which chapter.
