Unbreakable Charm

incantation not given

Makes an object unbreakable.

  • Hermione cast an Unbreakable Charm on the jar in which she captured Rita Skeeter in beetle form. (GF37)

Unforgivable Curses

Three curses in particular are known as Unforgivable because using them on another human being can result in a life term in Azkaban. These three curses were used extensively by Voldemort's followers during his rise to power in the 1970s. One, the Killing Curse, was used by Voldemort himself on Harry Potter, but the curse backfired and Voldemort was defeated. The three curses are the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Killing Curse.

Unplottable

incantation not given

A magical effect on a place; makes it impossible to plot its location on a map.

  • Hermione suggested that this may have been done to make Durmstrang and Beauxbatons harder to locate by other witches and wizards. (GF10)
  • Hogwarts also has wards and spells on it to hide its true nature from Muggles, but it is apparently not Unplottable.
