Obliteration Charm

Italic textThe Obliteration Charm is a charm used to completely wipe away all current or past memories from inside one's mind. The incantation for the charm is Obliterate. One example of this charm being used is in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. While in the Chamber of Secrets, Gilderoy Lockhart uses Ron's wand to use it on Harry and Ron; however, because of Ron's feeble wand, the charm strikes upon Lockhart, which causes him to forget where he was, why he was there at the moment, and who we was.
