Spell equipping

"We've found just the wand for you, Harry Potter. It is equipped with the spells Flipendo and Vermillious Uno, which will protect you in magical encounters."

- Garrick Ollivander describes Harry's new wand to him.

Spell equipping is a term used to refer to the art of priming a wand with certain spells, so that a starting wizard can use them without having to learn them. Wands sold by Garrick Ollivander, such as Harry Potter's wand, are equipped with the Knockback Jinx and Vermillious.

Behind the scenes

 * The concept of spell equipping only exists in the Game Boy Colour version of the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The concept cannot be considered canon, as wands themselves do not provide magical ability or power, as evidenced by the fact that they cannot be used by Muggles.
