— Harry Potter scanning Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed for defence against a dragon

The Horn Tongue Hex (incantation unknown) was a hex that transformed the target's tongue into a horn.

History

In 1994, Harry Potter came across it while perusing the index of Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed in search of a way to overcome the dragon he knew he would have to face in the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. He quickly ruled it out, however, realising it would only give the dragon yet another way to attack him.
