Messenger Spell

no incantation used

Sends a magical messenger to someone in the form of a silvery dart, rather like a small, ghostly bird. 
 

• Dumbledore sent a message to Hagrid using this spell. He simply pointed his wand in the direction of Hagrid's hut and sent the messenger without saying a word. Hagrid came directly to Dumbledore, which suggests that it is possible to retrace the flight of the dart. (GF28)

Mobiliarbus (MO-bi-lee-AR-bus)

"mobilis" L. movable + "arbor" L. tree

Moves a tree.

• The basic spell for moving something starts with the "Mobili-" prefix. It is up to the caster to be able to tack on the correct Latinate word for the object to be moved, in this case a tree. Certainly there cannot be a "standard" spell for moving a tree to one side!

Mobilicorpus (MO-bi-lee-COR-pus)

"mobilis" L. movable + "corpus" L. body

Moves a body.

• The basic spell for moving something starts with the "Mobili-" prefix. In this case, the Latin word for "body" is tacked on the end. Sirius Black uses this spell to levitate Snape's unconscious body so it could be pushed along the secret passage back to school from the Shrieking Shack.

Morsmordre (mors-MOR-druh )
"The Dark Mark"

"mors" L. death + "mordere" L. to bite

Conjures an immense glowing skull in the sky, comprised of green sparks. There is a snake coming out of the skull's mouth.

• This spell is known only to Death Eaters, who send it up in the sky when they kill. The Dark Mark is seen at the Quidditch World Cup in 1994, conjured up by Barty Crouch Jr. using Harry's wand. (GF9)

Muggle Repelling Charms

no incantation given

Spells cast to keep Muggles away from a place or object.

• The Quidditch World Cup Stadium had Muggle Repelling Charms all over it; if Muggles got anywhere near it, they would suddenly remember some appointment they were late for and hurry off (GF8)
