Engorgio Skullus was the incantation of a Dark charm used to swell the head of the victim. It was a variation of the Engorgement Charm. The counter-curse was the Head Shrink Spell.[1]
Etymology[]
- The word engorge means "to fill to excess".
- The word skullus is probably an adaptation of the English noun skull.
Behind the scenes[]
- This spell may have been the illegal hex that Sirius Black and James Potter used on Bertram Aubrey during their Hogwarts years, as it caused Aubrey's head to double in size.[3]
