The Inanimatus Conjurus Spell[1] (incantation unknown) was a transfiguration spell[1] of unknown effect although, given the name, it was likely used to conjure inanimate artefacts.
History
Professor Minerva McGonagall assigned her fifth year students a long and very difficult essay on this spell as their homework on 6 September, 1995 as a break from their work on the Vanishing Spell, which they continued later on in the year, presumably as a means of introducing Conjuring Spells.[1]
Etymology
From the English inanimate (+ the Latin suffix -us), meaning non-living and to conjure (+ the Latin suffix -us), meaning to bring up.
Appearances
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (First mentioned)
