| This article is non-canon.
This article covers a subject that has been deemed non-canon by either the author or the Harry Potter licensees, and thus should not be taken as a part of the "real" Harry Potter universe. |
- "There are several ways to become a werewolf, they include […] being cursed by someone who you have wronged in some way — called Lycacomia Curse […]."
- — Arsenius Jigger, The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts[src]
The Lycacomia Curse (incantation unknown) was a curse used to induce lycanthropy.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The Lycacomia curse has so far only appeared in A prop made for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with the bulk of what can be seen of the book's text being taken from the 1995 video game The Beast Within. As such, the Lycacomia curse should not necessarily be considered canon to the Harry Potter universe, as it has been established that lycanthropy cannot be induced with dark charms, but only with cursed werewolf bites.
Appearances
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) (First mentioned) (Mentioned in book only)
