+ | Only [[Wizardkind|witches and wizards]] with great understanding of and skill on [[magic]] are known to be able to invent spells. It is unknown what the exact process is to creating spells other than crafting the wand movement and the incantation. What is known is that it is a very difficult, even dangerous process. If something goes wrong the results can prove [[Death|fatal]]; an example of this is [[Pandora Lovegood]]'s [[Pandora Lovegood's unknown spell|experimentation]].<ref name="OOTP38">{{OOTP|B|38}}</ref> |

"Are you a wizard, or what?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title. |
Spell creation is the highly dangerous and mysterious art of creating new spells.
Nature
Only witches and wizards with great understanding of and skill on magic are known to be able to invent spells. It is unknown what the exact process is to creating spells other than crafting the wand movement and the incantation. What is known is that it is a very difficult, even dangerous process. If something goes wrong the results can prove fatal; an example of this is Pandora Lovegood's experimentation.[1]

Daisy Pennifold |
Shortly after the change in colour of the Quaffle in spring of 1711, Daisy Pennifold had the idea to enchant the Quaffle so Chasers wouldn't have to dive for it; rather, it would fall slowly and they could catch it in mid-air.[7] | |

Fred and George Weasley |
||
Modified Cursed Barrier |
Invented a modified version of the Cursed barrier, which prevented any Death Eaters bearing the Dark Mark from entering a vicinity.[17] |
Behind the scenes
- It is possible that Antonin Dolohov invented his signature curse as he is the only Death Eater shown using it and demonstrated a certain sadistic pride when he successfully cast it against Hermione during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.[18]
- Lord Voldemort likely invented some of the protective spells he used in the hiding places of his Horcruxes, such as the Gaunt Shack and the Horcrux Cave. These spells were dark in nature and difficult for even Albus Dumbledore to penetrate.
- It is possible that Hermione Granger invented the Four-Point Spell, as she particularly searched it for Harry Potter (who is the only person who used it) and the incantation is English.[19]
- It is also likely that she invented the Dumbledore's Army parchment jinx, given the apparent lack of a counter-jinx or cure apart from the boils fading on their own, as well as being specifically stated to identify traitors from the army.[20]
