Hermione placing the Bluebell Flames in a jar

Bluebell Flames (incantation unknown), also known as Cold Fire,[5] was a charm that created magical blue flames with unique properties.[4]

Effects

Bluebell flames were bright blue in appearance and were waterproof.[6] Not as dangerous as real fire, these magical flames could be touched, penetrated and held without it burning the holder, though it was known to singe materials such as clothing and plants.[4] As such, it might be safely carried in small objects, such as a jar, without the object being damaged.[7] These unique flames could also be directed to a desired location by its caster, and return to its original position.

Known uses

Caster(s) Date Notes
Unidentified Hogwarts student 1986–1987 An unidentified Hogwarts student used the bluebell flames and burned all the cushions used in Charms class for the Banishing Charm to be practised.[9]
Hermione Granger 1991–1992 Hermione cast a bluebell flame that could be carried around in a jar.[7]
She used it to set Snape's robes on fire during the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin of her first year.[7]
4 June, 1992 Hermione used this spell against Devil's Snare when she, Harry, and Ron worked through the challenges surrounding the Philosopher's Stone.[4]
December, post-Christmas, 1997 Hermione once again contained the flames in a jar to keep both Harry and her warm while retreating in the Forest of Dean.[10]

Behind the scenes

Bluebell flames

A jar of bluebell flames

  • In the film, this spell was replaced by Lacarnum Inflamari when Hermione attempted to distract Snape by igniting his robes, and Lumos Solem to attack the sunlight and heat sensitive Devil's Snare.
  • In the seventh film, Ron tells Harry that he always liked these flames. In that film, the flames are depicted as normal, reddish-orange fire which levitate without a surface to burn on, though in the book they appear blue, as in the other books.
  • The video game adaptions of Harry Potter depict this fire as similar to the Incendio. However, these appearances must not be considered valid, as Incendio produces normal fire, not the bluebell flames that this spell creates.
  • Hand-held flames may be a variation of this spell, as both produce flames that can be safely carried.
