Changes: Homorphus Charm

Revision as of 03:50, 14 November 2011

The Homorphus Charm was described by Professor Gilderoy Lockhart as what he used to cure the Wagga Wagga Werewolf. He described the spell as being "immensely complex." He later admitted to having stolen the credit from an Armenian Warlock. As there is no cure for lycanthropy, the charm may not exist at all, or at least its effects were exaggerated. This is possibly the spell that Remus Lupin and Sirius Black used to reveal Peter Pettigrew.

Etymology

Homorphus is a combination of the Latin Homo meaning 'man' and the Greek morphe- meaning 'shape' or 'form'.
