This was a transfiguration spell (incantation unknown), that caused any glass that came within a certain radius of the caster to be transfigured into sand. It looked blue, almost like water, and surrounded the caster in a half-circle.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- This spell only appears in the film adaptation of the Duel in the Ministry Atrium, where Albus Dumbledore cast this spell to protect himself and Harry Potter from the shards of glass Lord Voldemort magically directed at them.[1] However, it could be a derivative of the Shield Charm, like Repello Inimicum or Fianto Duri, as the effect is almost the same in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. The only difference is that, in the last film, the spell, instead of disintegrating sand, disintegrates human wizards.
- As glass is made principally from sand to begin with, the actual purpose of this spell may be more along the lines of disintegration, or transfiguration into a simpler state, rather than specifically glass-to-sand but it is possible that because glass is made from sand the shield simply reverts something from its current state back into what it was made from.
