Diminuendo was the incantation for a charm[2] that caused an object to shrink.[1] It also worked on humans.[2]
History[]
During the 1980s and 1990s at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, students who were members of the Duelling Club would use this spell against their opponents in duels.[2]
During the 1995–1996 school year at Hogwarts, Nigel Wolpert used this spell on a mechanical Death Eater target in the Room of Requirement during a Dumbledore's Army meeting.[1]
Etymology[]
