The Harry Potter Glossary

Azkaban -  Prison fortress where wizarding criminals are sent. Guarded day and night by the terrifying Dementors, who drain peace, hope and happiness out of any human in their vicinity.

Butterbeer -  Frothy, buttery drink drunk by witches and wizards.

Chamber of Secrets -  Concealed room created by Salazar Slytherin wherein he sealed an unknown horror that could only be freed by his true heir to purge the school of those unworthy to study magic.

Diagon Alley -  A long cobbled street filled with the most fascinating wizarding shops in the world. Accessible through the Leaky Cauldron pub in London.

Expecto patronum -  Incantation for the Patronus Charm, which works only if cast whilst thinking one’s happiest thought. It produces a witch or wizard's Patronus from the tip of the wand, which will guard against Dementors and some other Dark creatures, such as Lethifolds.

Flourish and Blotts -  Wizarding bookshop in Diagon Alley.

Galleon -  Gold wizarding money.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry -  The best school of its kind in the world. The greatest witches and wizards of the age founded Hogwarts more than a thousand years ago: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. They built a remote castle so that witches and wizards could train in safety. Pupils attend from age eleven for seven years of rigorous training in the art of witchcraft and wizardry. There are a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts and everything keeps moving around, so things are not always in the same place. Hogwarts is in a secret location somewhere in the North of the United Kingdom.

Imperturbable Charm -  Creates an invisible barrier that prevents anything making contact with it. For example, Dungbombs flicked at an Imperturbed door will just soar away from it.

Jelly Slugs -  Wizarding sweets available from Honeydukes in Hogsmeade.

Knight Bus -  Emergency bus that transports witches and wizards to any destination. One need only hold out their wand hand to stop the bus.

Mandrake -  Powerful restorative used to return cursed or transfigured people to their natural state. The cry of the Mandrake plant is fatal to anyone who hears it. Also known as Mandragora.

Nimbus Two Thousand -  A very fast broomstick, sleek and shiny with a mahogany handle. Harry's first broomstick.

Ollivanders -  Diagon Alley wand shop. 'Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC'.

Patronus -  A positive force that protects against Dementors. The form of each Patronus is particular to an individual witch or wizard, each of whom produces theirs with the Patronus Charm by saying the incantation ‘Expecto Patronum’ while thinking a strong happy thought. Harry's Patronus is a stag.

Quidditch -  The wizarding national sport. Played on broomsticks by seven players: three Chasers, one Keeper, two Beaters, one Seeker. Played with four balls: the Quaffle (red) is used for scoring; two Bludgers (black) which try to knock players off their brooms; one Golden Snitch (bright gold with silver wings). The Chasers throw the Quaffle to each other and try to score by throwing the Quaffle through one of the six hoops. Ten points are awarded every time a player scores. The Keeper guards the goalposts and tries to prevent the Chasers from scoring. The Beaters try to keep the Bludgers away from their team and knock them towards the opposing team. The Seeker tries to catch the Golden Snitch. Whichever team catches the Golden Snitch earns 150 points. The game ends when the Snitch is caught.

Relashio -  Incantation for the spell to make someone or something release whatever they have hold of, with a strong physical effect.

Sorting Hat -  The hat that decides which house each student belongs in during their time at Hogwarts.
