Episode 48: Open Your Spellbooks · Revelio: A Wizarding World Podcast

0:12
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to episode forty eight of Revellio for
0:15
Speaker 1: July ninth, twenty twenty six. I'm Amy and I'm Nicole.
0:34
Speaker 2: And in this episode, we thought we would do something.
0:37
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess our last episode was kind of
0:39
Speaker 2: different too. We were kind of like ranking food, and
0:43
Speaker 2: this episode we decided to kind of like rank spells
0:48
Speaker 2: into various categories. So we're going to talk about some
0:50
Speaker 2: spells today, maybe some of our favorites, maybe some of
0:54
Speaker 2: are not favorites. But yeah, but before we dive into that,
1:04
Speaker 2: listening to w W in.
1:07
Speaker 1: The Wizarding Wireless Network now for the latest headlines.
1:11
Speaker 2: So pretty much another slow, kind of like news cycle
1:15
Speaker 2: since our last episode. But I did find a couple
1:19
Speaker 2: pieces of information that have come out. The first is
1:23
Speaker 2: that the Noble Collection has revealed the twenty twenty six
1:27
Speaker 2: celebration wand. So I don't remember how many years they've
1:29
Speaker 2: been doing this, but they've been coming out with like
1:31
Speaker 2: a yearly celebration wand.
1:33
Speaker 1: I think this is only the second because last year
1:35
Speaker 1: was the patronis one, right.
1:38
Speaker 2: Oh, I think so, But I don't know if this
1:39
Speaker 2: one is like they were doing celebration wands and now
1:42
Speaker 2: they're focusing on spells actually really apt for this episode,
1:45
Speaker 2: but I can't fully remember. But the celebration WAND for
1:48
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is themed around the Alohamora charm. So
1:53
Speaker 2: it's available for pre order in the US starting July eighth,
1:56
Speaker 2: and then the official product launch is towards the end
1:59
Speaker 2: of the month on July twenty fifth. There's also like
2:02
Speaker 2: an event in London, I think around the time that
2:05
Speaker 2: it comes out. And the wand is really pretty. It's
2:09
Speaker 2: at the end it kind of resembles an old key,
2:13
Speaker 2: like very similar to the keys that we get like
2:15
Speaker 2: during the scene with all the keys, the flying keys.
2:20
Speaker 2: It's not a flying key, but it has that same
2:23
Speaker 2: kind of old kind of look to it. So it
2:26
Speaker 2: is very pretty and I believe you can see it
2:29
Speaker 2: on the Noble Collections like Instagram page.
2:33
Speaker 1: I do really like these wonds that they're doing. They're
2:36
Speaker 1: very cool. I just can't start another collection right now.
2:40
Speaker 2: No, And it has like and I think these ones
2:42
Speaker 2: come with like a base too, which is really cool,
2:45
Speaker 2: and it the base for this one has like a
2:48
Speaker 2: little tag that is the Alohamurra like wand like spell
2:56
Speaker 2: nod motion pattern like that the thing they always do
2:59
Speaker 2: for the spells where it's yeah, the way that you
3:01
Speaker 2: move your wand so I don't have space either for
3:06
Speaker 2: something that has like a base like that. But they
3:09
Speaker 2: are really really nice. And then the other bit of news,
3:15
Speaker 2: which is I was kind of like shocked when I
3:18
Speaker 2: saw this. So all of the Harry Potter and Fantastic
3:22
Speaker 2: Beast films are coming to MTV. I feel like MTV
3:29
Speaker 2: is very different now than it was when I was
3:32
Speaker 2: growing up, and it was actually music television.
3:38
Speaker 1: I mean, I think of MTV as like reality shows.
3:42
Speaker 2: Right, it was either like reality shows and like TRL
3:45
Speaker 2: like that's I haven't watched MTV and like I'm dating
3:47
Speaker 2: myself now, but like I've not watched MTV in a while.
3:49
Speaker 2: So they're coming to MTV, Nickelodeon and other like Paramount network.
3:55
Speaker 2: So Paramount must own empty. I'm so behind on like
4:00
Speaker 2: all of this, but like Paramount must own like MTV,
4:03
Speaker 2: like it must be a Paramount network. So this is
4:07
Speaker 2: part of an exclusive multi year deal TV deal that
4:10
Speaker 2: they had with Warner Brothers Discovery. And I also was
4:14
Speaker 2: really confused by this, and so I did some other
4:16
Speaker 2: research and I like totally missed this and we maybe
4:19
Speaker 2: missed this, But I feel like the last time we
4:22
Speaker 2: talked about like all acquisitions and stuff like that, it's
4:25
Speaker 2: when it was just announced that like Netflix was going
4:27
Speaker 2: to be acquiring and we were talking about the show
4:31
Speaker 2: being like under the Netflix umbrella. I think that that's
4:34
Speaker 2: no longer. I think I remember us talking about soon
4:38
Speaker 2: after that news came out, Paramount made a bid, an
4:42
Speaker 2: even bigger bid for it. And I don't know if
4:47
Speaker 2: this is this might just be speculation, but like, based
4:51
Speaker 2: on what I'm seeing online, I think like Paramount may
4:53
Speaker 2: have won and Netflix may have walked away from their deal.
4:58
Speaker 2: But I also feel like this didn't make like breaking
5:01
Speaker 2: news unless I missed it, So I don't know if
5:04
Speaker 2: this is still not settled yet, But I.
5:07
Speaker 1: Mean, it's weird because the Netflix thing made like breaking
5:11
Speaker 1: news like everywhere, and I feel like maybe they got
5:15
Speaker 1: reported way too early, maybe like they even repainted the
5:19
Speaker 1: water tower.
5:21
Speaker 2: Right, So I don't know, Like, everybody do your own
5:25
Speaker 2: research here, because I'm not sure. I just did a
5:28
Speaker 2: really quick, like Google search after I saw this news
5:31
Speaker 2: of it coming to the Paramount Networks, because I'm like,
5:34
Speaker 2: why the heck would these movies go to Paramount if
5:37
Speaker 2: like in a couple months or whatever, like Netflix is
5:40
Speaker 2: going to own this. That's like Paramount was their biggest
5:43
Speaker 2: competitor here. Why how the heck did Paramount secure this deal?
5:48
Speaker 2: And then that's when I saw that there was some
5:50
Speaker 2: article I found that said, like Netflix basically walked away
5:53
Speaker 2: from their deal after Paramount came out with that greater bid.
5:58
Speaker 1: So yeah, because that Netflix bid would have been like
6:02
Speaker 1: right on the top of what they could have offered,
6:05
Speaker 1: Like they could not have gone higher than that. Now,
6:08
Speaker 1: that wouldn't surprise me if they had to walk away.
6:11
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's not being like reported widespread in like
6:16
Speaker 1: huge news outlets because the Netflix thing was and then
6:20
Speaker 1: that fell through. Maybe they're kind of like waiting for
6:23
Speaker 1: it to be a little bit more permanent.
6:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean I know that when
6:28
Speaker 2: we had learned that Paramount kind of outbid them, it
6:31
Speaker 2: was significantly more, and I believe it was like a
6:34
Speaker 2: cash deal if I'm not mistaken or something like that.
6:40
Speaker 2: But obviously I know we've talked before too, there's like
6:42
Speaker 2: legal things that have to like go through with stuff
6:44
Speaker 2: like this too, because obviously we don't want a certain
6:47
Speaker 2: company to like monopolize every There's just a lot that
6:49
Speaker 2: goes into it. So that might also be why it
6:52
Speaker 2: hasn't been like officially announced, But I feel like maybe
6:56
Speaker 2: it's going to go to Paramount not Netflix. But yeah,
7:01
Speaker 2: I believe the first like marathon of Harry Potter on
7:06
Speaker 2: these Paramount channels is like the beginning of July. I
7:10
Speaker 2: feel like I saw July eighth or something like that.
7:12
Speaker 2: So it's happening like pretty quickly. Yeah, I don't know,
7:18
Speaker 2: very interesting to think of Harry Potter on like MTV
7:20
Speaker 2: or Nickelodeon.
7:21
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, but never thought Harry
7:25
Speaker 1: Potter would be on the same network that gave us Snooky.
7:31
Speaker 2: But here we are, right Jersey. God, Yes, and like gosh,
7:40
Speaker 2: I can't remember the name of that show now that
7:42
Speaker 2: was like the biggest reality show on MTV for so long.
7:47
Speaker 2: Oh my god, why is it escaping me? Everyone listening
7:50
Speaker 2: is like shouting right now. It'll come to me at
7:55
Speaker 2: a random time during this episode. But yeah, So it's
8:00
Speaker 2: just interesting because I'm so used to like Harry Potter
8:02
Speaker 2: like marathons being on like sci fi. I feel like
8:07
Speaker 2: isn't as usually sci fi or like they used to
8:09
Speaker 2: be on free form, right, and I just they just
8:13
Speaker 2: keep getting passed around. Harry Potter just keeps getting passed
8:16
Speaker 2: around like a just spread the potato. Yeah, but yeah,
8:22
Speaker 2: so that's really all I found for the news. We're
8:26
Speaker 2: definitely in a very like slow kind of news cycle.
8:29
Speaker 2: But hey, the fact that we still have any Harry
8:31
Speaker 2: Potter news like almost like later, right, I'll take it.
8:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. The magic continues over on the Revellio Patreon.

8:59
Speaker 1: dot com. Lash for Veellio podcast. All right, So for
9:06
Speaker 1: our main discussion, As Nichole said earlier, we thought it'd
9:10
Speaker 1: be fun to go through and rank spells in different categories.
9:17
Speaker 1: So our first category that we have is best Defensive Spell. So,
9:25
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta say I'm kind of with Harry
9:28
Speaker 1: on this one. I feel like expelly Armis is like
9:32
Speaker 1: the defensive spell. I mean, because if you take away
9:36
Speaker 1: your opponent's wand what can they really do? Like, lesters
9:40
Speaker 1: aren't gonna throw punches.
9:42
Speaker 2: No, I mean unless you're like dueling like someone that's
9:46
Speaker 2: like Dumbledore level and it's just so skilled and wandless magic.
9:51
Speaker 1: That's true. I didn't think about the wandless magic.
9:54
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like Xpelly, armis
9:56
Speaker 2: like worked so well for Harry multiple times. It probably
10:01
Speaker 2: worked a little too well for him. Some of it
10:04
Speaker 2: I think was luck.
10:05
Speaker 1: Gave us a realistic view of the spell. It's not really.
10:10
Speaker 2: The best, no, but I agree, I think it's I
10:12
Speaker 2: think it's a good a good spell for sure. I
10:16
Speaker 2: had trouble choosing like just one for like all these categories.
10:19
Speaker 2: But I thought of Expecto patronum because dementors are terrifying,
10:28
Speaker 2: and how nice of it to have a spell that
10:30
Speaker 2: can repel them away so that you don't like get
10:34
Speaker 2: your soul sucked out.
10:36
Speaker 1: It's interesting, like I feel like that's the only opponent
10:40
Speaker 1: that has a spell developed specifically for just it, Like
10:45
Speaker 1: there's no other creatures or anything that you just.
10:50
Speaker 2: Use the other spells. Yeah, that's interesting. I didn't think
10:54
Speaker 2: of that. I also thought of just like protago.
11:01
Speaker 1: Generic, but that's like in the same line as expelling Armis.
11:05
Speaker 1: I feel like simple but effective.
11:08
Speaker 2: Yes, And then also I thought of impedimenta. I might
11:15
Speaker 2: be saying it wrong, but this spell is used to
11:19
Speaker 2: like hinder or slow down like a moving target, and
11:23
Speaker 2: so I feel like during like a duel, that could
11:26
Speaker 2: be really helpful, and it is different than like other spell. Well, well,
11:35
Speaker 2: as we go through this, there's a lot of like
11:37
Speaker 2: really similar like spells. Yeah, but I think, yeah, go ahead, Oh,
11:45
Speaker 2: I was.
11:45
Speaker 1: Just gonna say, I was just thinking a resto momentum too,
11:49
Speaker 1: with slowing things down.
11:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I meant. Like there's it's like I think,
11:54
Speaker 2: it's just they're like different, like they're very similar but
11:58
Speaker 2: very different. And also my brain is like not braining
12:04
Speaker 2: right now. What is the spell that Hermione uses in
12:07
Speaker 2: Chamber of Secrets to like freeze the Cornish Pixies? Uh okay,
12:12
Speaker 2: I'm googling it A mobilist Oh yeah yeah, oh my god,
12:17
Speaker 2: see it And I think of it so like that
12:19
Speaker 2: one we're.
12:20
Speaker 1: Recording in the morning. We usually record at night, where
12:23
Speaker 1: like on.
12:23
Speaker 2: A Tuesday, like we're like completely out of our element.
12:27
Speaker 2: But like right, so that's like another charm that's like
12:30
Speaker 2: the freezing charm. Right, So like there's a lot of
12:32
Speaker 2: charms that are like similar. I think, like, but I
12:39
Speaker 2: know when I like saw the way that the freezing
12:42
Speaker 2: was was kind of described for this, Impedimenta charm is
12:45
Speaker 2: more about like temporarily freezing, which obviously I think immobilist
12:48
Speaker 2: is also temporary as well, but I think there's probably
12:52
Speaker 2: just something slightly different about it.
12:54
Speaker 1: But I think of Pendimenta as more of like tripping
12:59
Speaker 1: somebody up or like causing them to stumble, yes, as opposed.
13:03
Speaker 2: To like.
13:05
Speaker 1: Immobilist actually freezes them petrificates. Totalis actually like.
13:09
Speaker 2: Body locks body locks them.
13:11
Speaker 1: And then arrest of momentum just like slows them down,
13:15
Speaker 1: like they're still coming but just slower.
13:19
Speaker 2: Right they're all Again, I think there's probably too many
13:22
Speaker 2: similar spells for like kind of the same thing. But
13:25
Speaker 2: I imagine like if say someone was throwing a baseball
13:28
Speaker 2: at you, you could use like impedimenta to like slow
13:33
Speaker 2: it down because it's like a moving target.
13:36
Speaker 1: Or like posetic curve.
13:37
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I don't know, but I think that that
13:40
Speaker 2: could be really helpful. Like during I just picture like
13:44
Speaker 2: a duel and people are like using their wand to
13:47
Speaker 2: like throw like objects at you. And like having a
13:50
Speaker 2: spell to like be able to slow those things down. Yeah,
13:56
Speaker 2: I also don't know if you can use the spell
13:58
Speaker 2: like on a person, like if a person's moving target
14:00
Speaker 2: and they're coming at you. Again, it's weird because so
14:06
Speaker 2: many spells kind of seem like they do the same thing,
14:09
Speaker 2: but I don't think they do. I think they all
14:11
Speaker 2: have like if this, you should use this spell, if that,
14:14
Speaker 2: you should use that spell. But we're not witches, so
14:18
Speaker 2: I guess we don't know.
14:20
Speaker 1: We haven't gone to Hogwarts.
14:22
Speaker 2: No, I haven't taken charms or defense against those words
14:26
Speaker 2: to really know, all.
14:29
Speaker 1: Right, so then we have best offensive spell. I threw
14:38
Speaker 1: in the ring stupefy just because Okay, there's a couple
14:42
Speaker 1: of reasons here, right. Obviously, what the spell does is
14:45
Speaker 1: super helpful. I mean, knocking somebody out. That's it. They're done,
14:51
Speaker 1: Like they're out for the count. They're not coming after
14:54
Speaker 1: you anymore. But like, it's also really short and easy
14:57
Speaker 1: to say, whereas something like petrificus totalists would take you
15:02
Speaker 1: longer to spit out. In the moment, like.
15:06
Speaker 2: I probably get tied, which is so funny because I
15:09
Speaker 2: got tongue tied trying to say tongue tied. So that
15:12
Speaker 2: just shows how easily it is to get tongue tied
15:15
Speaker 2: at some point, right, And I think it's also so long,
15:18
Speaker 2: so like I had said too, because I was thinking
15:21
Speaker 2: of stupefy also as like it's like a spell that's
15:23
Speaker 2: like offensive and defensive. So if you're trying to say
15:26
Speaker 2: like to your point of it being suret and easy
15:28
Speaker 2: to say, right, if I'm trying to say petrificus totalist
15:31
Speaker 2: at you, you could just be like stupefy as I'm
15:34
Speaker 2: trying to say it, right, I'm done.
15:36
Speaker 1: Even think it. Even if you're doing non verbal you
15:39
Speaker 1: still have to say spell.
15:41
Speaker 2: It's like yeah, yeah, no, that's a good one. So
15:49
Speaker 2: my slytherin is gonna come out a little bit.
15:51
Speaker 1: Here I went, you went dark.
15:52
Speaker 2: I went a little dark at some of myself.
15:54
Speaker 1: We went there.
15:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, leave it to the resident. So I said sectum sempra.
16:03
Speaker 1: I don't want to duel you. You're just like, yeah,
16:07
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just bleed to death now.
16:10
Speaker 2: But like I mean, we said the best offensive spell,
16:15
Speaker 2: like you know, like you like you put here. Right.
16:18
Speaker 2: If you do stupefy and they're stunt, what else are
16:20
Speaker 2: they going to do? To you if you like, cause
16:23
Speaker 2: several lacerations on your opponent and they're like bleeding out.
16:30
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that's pretty effective.
16:34
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying that you should use this spell.
16:38
Speaker 2: You just asked what is a good offensive spell?
16:43
Speaker 1: That's so Slytherin. I'm not saying you should use it.
16:47
Speaker 2: By yes, what are some of the best ones? And
16:50
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good one because it would really harm
16:55
Speaker 2: your opponent. This is also another one that's like because
17:02
Speaker 2: isn't it is it? Defendo is a severing charm. But
17:09
Speaker 2: this is another one where it's like very similar spells
17:14
Speaker 2: because obviously sectum sempra is similar in that it I
17:19
Speaker 2: guess this is getting kind of gruesome. But this again
17:23
Speaker 2: is where like the object matters, right, like defindo I
17:28
Speaker 2: think is way more for like certain objects, where I
17:33
Speaker 2: think that when Snape kind of maybe created sectum sumpra,
17:39
Speaker 2: what's different is that is something that is used exclusively
17:42
Speaker 2: for living targets. So like defindo, whenn't work in that
17:46
Speaker 2: same right way.
17:47
Speaker 1: Like I don't think t Findo's used for flesh.
17:49
Speaker 2: It's more correct fabric or correct yeah correct? So yeah,
17:57
Speaker 2: in like inanimate objects. Yeah so yeah, so Sectum Cempra
18:02
Speaker 2: is the dark version of the slashing curse. And again
18:05
Speaker 2: I am not saying that you use Sectum Sempra. We
18:09
Speaker 2: saw what happened to Draco. We're not We're not condoning it.
18:13
Speaker 2: It's just it is a pretty effective offensive spell. Uh.
18:19
Speaker 2: And then the other one I went for is fiend fire,
18:22
Speaker 2: because just light it all up.
18:27
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, I guess if this is like a
18:32
Speaker 1: if you're willing to maybe go down with the ship, Okay, sure,
18:41
Speaker 1: what I'm.
18:41
Speaker 2: Saying you have to go out. We literally saw people
18:44
Speaker 2: survive of fiend fire. No, they didn't all make it out,
18:48
Speaker 2: not the one did. Yeah. Well, I mean and here's
18:54
Speaker 2: the thing too, if I need to, if I need
18:56
Speaker 2: to destroy a horcrux, fiend fire do it.
19:01
Speaker 1: This is true.
19:01
Speaker 2: So I think it's a good spell to have in
19:03
Speaker 2: your arsenal because if you ever come across a horse
19:05
Speaker 2: trucks and you don't happen to have like the sort
19:09
Speaker 2: of or a bascliss, than.
19:11
Speaker 1: Just hang it out in your back pocket.
19:13
Speaker 2: Right. We all just carry those around all the time
19:16
Speaker 2: in case we stumble upon a horcrux, then like fiend
19:19
Speaker 2: fire is your next best option.
19:23
Speaker 1: True, you should at least know how to cast it.
19:25
Speaker 1: But like, I want to know, how would you practice
19:28
Speaker 1: casting fiend Fire? Is this like one of those situations
19:31
Speaker 1: where like how the fire department has these like buildings
19:34
Speaker 1: that they just purposely burn over and over and over
19:37
Speaker 1: again for practice, Like is there a building for controlled
19:41
Speaker 1: fiend fire burns?
19:43
Speaker 2: I mean, or is it like it's something that it's
19:45
Speaker 2: like it's a spell you don't like practice but like
19:52
Speaker 2: it just yeah, I don't know, because we make such
19:54
Speaker 2: a big deal of needing to practice spells and like
19:57
Speaker 2: really honing them. But I mean, I also think when
20:01
Speaker 2: it was used in the series, I can't imagine it
20:05
Speaker 2: was being pracked. I feel like in that moment, it
20:07
Speaker 2: was just like I've heard of this spell, I'm going
20:09
Speaker 2: to use it, and it worked, which.
20:10
Speaker 1: Is maybe why it went so wrong for him and
20:13
Speaker 1: got out of control.
20:15
Speaker 2: Right right right? I think that is the problem with it,
20:23
Speaker 2: is that again not condoning going out and using fiend Fire,
20:27
Speaker 2: But if you're in a very precarious situation, it would
20:33
Speaker 2: work in an offensive way. But yeah, I'm sticking with
20:37
Speaker 2: Sectum Sempra and fiend Fire. Okay, Now, again, if we
20:43
Speaker 2: were ever in a duel. I would not use either
20:45
Speaker 2: of those.
20:45
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good to know.
20:47
Speaker 2: I'm just saying these are some good offensive spells that
20:50
Speaker 2: would really help you out.
20:52
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it depends on who you're dueling, Like,
20:56
Speaker 1: you know, if it's like a friendly jewel, you're not
20:59
Speaker 1: going to use. If it's like, oh, no, life or death,
21:02
Speaker 1: like all bets are off at that.
21:05
Speaker 2: I went to the extreme self defense mode, like Valtimore
21:10
Speaker 2: is coming after you.
21:12
Speaker 1: Fair enough like that level.
21:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, if you're just having a friendly little duel
21:16
Speaker 2: with your friend, no stupefy. You know, no, they're not
21:20
Speaker 2: going to be hurt, they're not going to be whatever,
21:22
Speaker 2: but you just yeah.
21:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. So next category is most useful, and I
21:31
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot for this. I went with
21:36
Speaker 1: the obvious repaio. I mean, when would you not need
21:40
Speaker 1: to use for Paero, Like, imagine how much money you
21:44
Speaker 1: could save if you could just magically fix everything that
21:47
Speaker 1: you have that's broken.
21:48
Speaker 2: Mh, it'd be amazing.
21:54
Speaker 1: Another one that I thought was the tracking spell. This
21:58
Speaker 1: is the one that Newt uses when he's trying to
22:01
Speaker 1: track down Tina and the incantation. I'm going to say
22:05
Speaker 1: this is totally wrong, Apari Fastigium. I think it's how you.
22:12
Speaker 2: Say it sounds good to me.
22:14
Speaker 1: But I mean, like, think of how useful, Like how
22:17
Speaker 1: many times have you lost somebody in a crowd or
22:19
Speaker 1: a store? Like just very useful.
22:23
Speaker 2: Literally just the other day I was wandering around the
22:26
Speaker 2: store trying to find my boyfriend. Yeah, no, I agree,
22:31
Speaker 2: this is I think we brainstormed probably the most in
22:34
Speaker 2: this category because I mean there's a lot of useful
22:37
Speaker 2: swell and I think the thing is in general, magic
22:41
Speaker 2: is useful. Yes, they're all useful.
22:44
Speaker 1: And I think this is why charms would be my
22:47
Speaker 1: favorite class if I was to go to Hogwarts, because
22:50
Speaker 1: I feel like all of the charms are just super useful,
22:52
Speaker 1: like everyday little things that would just make life that
22:55
Speaker 1: much smoother.
22:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went for a few like standard basic ones
23:03
Speaker 2: here too, of course, like Achio, like absolutely like to
23:10
Speaker 2: not have to get up to get something. I feel
23:15
Speaker 2: like it would make me so lazy, but like just
23:18
Speaker 2: so helpful.
23:20
Speaker 1: And in that same vein, I thought of locomotor because like,
23:25
Speaker 1: similar to Achio, you know you're moving things, but I
23:28
Speaker 1: feel like that's more like for like moving heavy things,
23:32
Speaker 1: which would be yes, super helpful as a woman living alone.
23:38
Speaker 1: I think of all the times I've had to, like,
23:40
Speaker 1: you know, sit on my stairs with something heavy behind
23:44
Speaker 1: my back and push it with my back up the
23:46
Speaker 1: stairs one step at a time. Lookomotor, Yeah, it'd be great.
23:50
Speaker 2: Move that bookshelf.
23:51
Speaker 1: Yes, so much easier.
23:52
Speaker 2: Yes, that would be really helpful for me, like in
23:55
Speaker 2: a couple of months moving. But yes. And then so
23:59
Speaker 2: I also did Mosa Knox, And I will say this
24:02
Speaker 2: is super useful because I've kind of used this in
24:06
Speaker 2: the Muggle world because I have a Alexa device. I didn't
24:13
Speaker 2: trigger it, and hopefully I didn't trigger anyone else's who
24:16
Speaker 2: might be listening to this on not a headphone. And
24:20
Speaker 2: I've programmed mine to turn my lights on and off
24:24
Speaker 2: and I can just say Loumos after the name and
24:29
Speaker 2: it'll turn my light on. And I feel like a
24:31
Speaker 2: witch and I love it and it's so convenient, so like,
24:35
Speaker 2: and also I think the other thing with Lumos and
24:37
Speaker 2: Knox that's super helpful is just being able to like
24:39
Speaker 2: conjure light whenever you need it, like obviously, like I
24:43
Speaker 2: feel like in a way we can kind of do
24:45
Speaker 2: this because if you have your cell phone on you
24:46
Speaker 2: it all the time. You can turn a flashlight on,
24:49
Speaker 2: but I don't just think about if you're somewhere and
24:52
Speaker 2: like the power goes out or you're just obviously you
24:55
Speaker 2: have to have your wand with you. So that is
24:57
Speaker 2: a little tricky. But it's just to be able to
25:00
Speaker 2: conjure light anywhere I think is really useful. I also
25:05
Speaker 2: put Aloha Moura here. It's so funny because just yesterday
25:10
Speaker 2: I was like coming home and I had so many
25:12
Speaker 2: things like in my hands, and I was trying to
25:15
Speaker 2: like unlock my front door and I just like couldn't
25:17
Speaker 2: do it because I just had so much in my
25:20
Speaker 2: hands and the key just like wouldn't turn because I
25:22
Speaker 2: couldn't grab the door right, And I just like, wow,
25:25
Speaker 2: Alohimura would have been real great in that moment to
25:28
Speaker 2: not have to be struggling with my key.
25:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then like if you have too many keys
25:33
Speaker 1: on your key ring sorting through to the correct one,
25:36
Speaker 1: you just have Alohi Mora. It works at every door
25:39
Speaker 1: and you don't need all those keys.
25:41
Speaker 2: I just have like a lot of issues with Alohi
25:43
Speaker 2: Mora because like, how do you like protect your door
25:46
Speaker 2: because like my key is specific to my door, right,
25:49
Speaker 2: But if Aloha Mora is just a general spell, then like,
25:52
Speaker 2: can anybody just break in anywhere at any time?
25:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think there would be a lot more
25:58
Speaker 1: like breaking and entering happy in the blizarding world.
26:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess they could just if you
26:05
Speaker 2: break an enter and then you come home, you could
26:07
Speaker 2: just do hominem rebellio and know that somebody's there.
26:11
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe like penalties and like punishments around
26:18
Speaker 1: breaking and entering are so strict. Maybe it's like a
26:22
Speaker 1: you know, you break an enter media ask command sentence,
26:26
Speaker 1: So maybe people just don't.
26:27
Speaker 2: Do it right. Yeah, I feel like Aloha Mora might
26:31
Speaker 2: be like one of those spells that is like very
26:35
Speaker 2: good for plot m But like, I mean, I guess too.
26:44
Speaker 2: I did just like Google really quick, and I guess,
26:46
Speaker 2: like because you can also open windows and obviously objects,
26:50
Speaker 2: it's not just for doors. But it said like Aloha
26:55
Speaker 2: Mora only works on things that are not protected by
26:58
Speaker 2: specific counter So I wonder if like for your house
27:02
Speaker 2: or your front door, you would put like a counter
27:05
Speaker 2: charm on it.
27:07
Speaker 1: Well, in Fantastic Beasts, when Queenie's trying to get into
27:12
Speaker 1: Graves's office. She's trying like all sorts of things like
27:16
Speaker 1: alohi mora and stuff, and it's not working because you
27:21
Speaker 1: put like protective spells on his door, right. Yeah, so
27:24
Speaker 1: I guess if you know how to put spells on
27:27
Speaker 1: your door.
27:29
Speaker 2: Which actually makes sense that that's something that most people
27:33
Speaker 2: in the Wizarding Rule will do. And maybe that's also
27:35
Speaker 2: why there's not a lot of breaking and entry crimes,
27:38
Speaker 2: because everyone just has protective spells on their doors. But
27:42
Speaker 2: I wonder if that means if you do that, like
27:44
Speaker 2: you can't use alohamra on your own door either, or
27:48
Speaker 2: if there's some clause that only you can do it.
27:51
Speaker 2: I don't know, but anyways, I think aloha mora could
27:54
Speaker 2: be very useful, if not almost a little unnecessary because
28:00
Speaker 2: you just have keys, but I also think it could
28:02
Speaker 2: be very useful. And then I also added a pisky here,
28:09
Speaker 2: which is the charm for mending like broken bones and
28:12
Speaker 2: healing a minor wounds. Obviously, like this would be extremely useful,
28:17
Speaker 2: Like I don't even need to explain further why that
28:22
Speaker 2: would be useful. Yeah, so I also thought of muffliato,
28:32
Speaker 2: which is the spell that creates like a bubble of
28:34
Speaker 2: silence around you and like whoever is in your vicinity
28:37
Speaker 2: that you put the charm around. I think this would
28:40
Speaker 2: be super helpful, Like when if you need to have
28:43
Speaker 2: like a private conversation with somebody, or if you're in
28:45
Speaker 2: a public place and it's just like really loud and
28:50
Speaker 2: you're like trying to talk to your friends or something
28:52
Speaker 2: like that. I just think it could be really useful.
28:54
Speaker 2: I think of like times when like I don't know,
28:57
Speaker 2: you just get really overstimulated sometimes by like the noise,
29:01
Speaker 2: and to be able to like put yourself in this
29:04
Speaker 2: like bubble of silence, I think could just be very
29:08
Speaker 2: very useful. And then the last one I thought of
29:12
Speaker 2: is obviously just like the extendable charm, because like, no
29:16
Speaker 2: more struggling to fit stuff into places like big fan
29:21
Speaker 2: of this. If you're packing, no stress. If you buy
29:24
Speaker 2: a lot of souvenirs on your trip, no stress.
29:27
Speaker 1: You don't need to check a bag. You just put
29:29
Speaker 1: that extendable charm on your carry out. Yeah.
29:32
Speaker 2: I didn't even think of anything. Closets that are too small.
29:37
Speaker 2: If you've got a lot of clothes like me and
29:38
Speaker 2: Amy do, and you're trying to fit them in drawers
29:41
Speaker 2: and stuff. Just put an extendable charm on it, like
29:44
Speaker 2: this would be extremely.
29:46
Speaker 1: Me yesterday, Yeah, trying to rearrange my three closets. I
29:50
Speaker 1: didn't get very far. I just shuffled things from one
29:53
Speaker 1: closet to another. So the problem still exists.
29:56
Speaker 2: Right, And see, if you had an use of an
29:58
Speaker 2: extendable charm, you have an issue, it would all.
30:01
Speaker 1: Fit in there exactly.
30:02
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, lots of useful charms for sure.
30:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, so turning that on its head and going to
30:10
Speaker 1: most useless, we've got a few here. So the one
30:17
Speaker 1: that I thought of was Cantus, which is the one
30:20
Speaker 1: that makes the target burst into song, which I mean, okay,
30:25
Speaker 1: so they use this to make the suits of armors
30:27
Speaker 1: sing and like singing Christmas carols. Other than that, what
30:33
Speaker 1: would you possibly need this for?
30:37
Speaker 2: You know, maybe Cantus could be like a really fun
30:43
Speaker 2: spell and a duel, Like I wonder if you can
30:45
Speaker 2: use it on a living person, because if someone's imagine
30:48
Speaker 2: like a death eater's coming at you, right and they're
30:51
Speaker 2: not expecting you to throw cantus at them, and you
30:54
Speaker 2: throw Cantus at them and they just start bursting out
30:57
Speaker 2: in song, like I think they're probably going to stop
30:59
Speaker 2: pursuing you because they're gonna be like, what is going on?
31:03
Speaker 1: Wait, Like what would you want them to sing? Like?
31:08
Speaker 2: Or do you control what they sing? Or just all
31:10
Speaker 2: of a sudden they start singing.
31:12
Speaker 1: Whatever's in their head. They just pop out with like
31:15
Speaker 1: an eighties pop ballad. You're like, oh, that's what's going
31:20
Speaker 1: on in your brain? Okay, And then.
31:22
Speaker 2: You'd start laughing at them and they feel embarrassed and
31:25
Speaker 2: like it might actually really work in a duel, like
31:28
Speaker 2: like like the act of like humiliation. Right. I still
31:34
Speaker 2: agree it's useless, but maybe we found a use for it.
31:37
Speaker 1: I mean it'd be funny. A lot of these like
31:40
Speaker 1: useless spells are like funny.
31:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's weird.
31:46
Speaker 1: Oh boy.
31:49
Speaker 2: I thought of like for me, I kind of thought
31:51
Speaker 2: for you useless charms. I was kind of like what
31:54
Speaker 2: we touched on before about how we have so many
31:57
Speaker 2: like spells that like kind of do the same thing.
32:00
Speaker 2: So it's like, why do we have so many different
32:03
Speaker 2: spells for it? Because I just think that's really confusing
32:07
Speaker 2: and also useless. And one of the ones I thought
32:09
Speaker 2: of was there's a spell mobilaris mobil arbust sorry, this
32:15
Speaker 2: one is specifically to move wood. And I'm just kind
32:20
Speaker 2: of wondering, why do we need such a specific spell
32:22
Speaker 2: when we have something like when guardian Levosa.
32:25
Speaker 1: Right, when when Guardium Levosa also work on wood?
32:29
Speaker 2: I believe, yes, So I don't really understand why there's
32:34
Speaker 2: a need for this spell, and I just think it's
32:38
Speaker 2: kind of useless when you could just use another spell.
32:41
Speaker 1: Right, that's just adding more spells to learn when you
32:45
Speaker 1: don't need to.
32:46
Speaker 2: It makes me think of like how hard like certain
32:49
Speaker 2: languages can be to learn, like English for instance, and
32:53
Speaker 2: how we have some really weird words or weird spellings
32:56
Speaker 2: and like multiple words that are the same word but
33:00
Speaker 2: mean different things. It just it reminds me of that. Yeah,
33:04
Speaker 2: and like why like are wizards and witches just moving
33:10
Speaker 2: wood so much that they're like, we need a spell
33:14
Speaker 2: specifically for this.
33:17
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know why would they be moving wood? Really?
33:23
Speaker 1: They don't need to like have wood burning fires because
33:27
Speaker 1: like they're wizards.
33:28
Speaker 2: I was gonna say they all have fireplaces, but not
33:30
Speaker 2: to burn the wood. They're using them for flute transportation.
33:35
Speaker 2: And they're, like you said, they're magical. They can just.
33:41
Speaker 1: Blue belt flames or blue belt flame.
33:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if they're feeling really frisky fiend.
33:47
Speaker 1: Fire because they want to collect that house insurance.
33:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I just think this is a
33:56
Speaker 2: useless charm. I don't know.
33:58
Speaker 1: I agree.
34:01
Speaker 2: I also in similar vein thought of bracium a mendo,
34:07
Speaker 2: and like, I guess, why do we have this when
34:10
Speaker 2: we have a pisky? Right, and like we see what
34:15
Speaker 2: happens when like Lockhart uses bracium amendo. I mean, part
34:21
Speaker 2: of it is because he's just not qualified. I don't
34:24
Speaker 2: know if maybe the difference here is that like a
34:26
Speaker 2: pisky really is for like minor breaks, but if you
34:29
Speaker 2: like sever your femur or something like that, a pisky
34:33
Speaker 2: is just not strong enough, right, and you need But
34:36
Speaker 2: I also feel like bracium amendo's also not strong enough,
34:39
Speaker 2: and like you would have to like probably need like
34:42
Speaker 2: a potion to fix that. I don't know, it just again,
34:46
Speaker 2: it's like I don't understand like.
34:48
Speaker 1: The difference between like a hairline fracture and like a
34:51
Speaker 1: open fracture.
34:53
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I just feel like the average witcher wizard
34:56
Speaker 2: would not be able to tell which one you need
34:58
Speaker 2: to use in that moment, and just as confusing to
35:01
Speaker 2: have two, why just doesn't episkey work? I don't I
35:05
Speaker 2: don't know. This one might not be useless. Maybe someone
35:09
Speaker 2: could explain to me, like really, what the difference is
35:11
Speaker 2: between these two spells, and maybe it won't be useless.
35:13
Speaker 2: But again, it's just like why do we have so
35:15
Speaker 2: many spells that are like kind of similarly doing the
35:18
Speaker 2: same thing. And then the other two I thought of
35:24
Speaker 2: were Serpent Sorcia and Avus, which I was like, why right, So, like, obviously,
35:32
Speaker 2: Serpent Sorcia conjure snakes, which I could see like maybe
35:36
Speaker 2: like that being useful in a situation like if you're
35:39
Speaker 2: in a place where you need to defend yourself, snakes
35:43
Speaker 2: can be kind of terrifying, and so I could see
35:45
Speaker 2: how maybe conjuring snakes would be helpful. But also why
35:50
Speaker 2: when we have other spells to defend? And then Avis
35:55
Speaker 2: is obviously to conjure birds for what purpose?
35:59
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? That's kind of weird.
36:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, I think those are
36:08
Speaker 2: pretty useless.
36:09
Speaker 1: There's a lot for this category. I feel like we
36:11
Speaker 1: could probably pull a lot in here, but we won't. Okay,
36:18
Speaker 1: So the next category is scariest. Immediately, this was like
36:26
Speaker 1: a no brainer for me. Immediately I put down Imperious.
36:32
Speaker 1: The scariest thing in the world to me is losing
36:35
Speaker 1: your free will and control. So I feel like if
36:39
Speaker 1: I lived in the wizarding world, this would be my
36:41
Speaker 1: biggest fear that somebody would imperial me and that would
36:46
Speaker 1: be it.
36:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
36:54
Speaker 1: I like dying the killing curse, I'd be like, eh, whatever,
36:58
Speaker 1: like I'm dead, not feeling it living as like being
37:04
Speaker 1: stuck in that. And it's like all the instances we
37:07
Speaker 1: see of the imperious curse is almost like people have
37:11
Speaker 1: like those moments of like knowing that they're under it
37:14
Speaker 1: but not being able to come out of it, and
37:18
Speaker 1: that's much scarier to me than just green light dead.
37:23
Speaker 2: I think it's also really scary too, And I think
37:25
Speaker 2: this will be kind of a theme and all of
37:27
Speaker 2: the ones we talk about is scariest is like I think,
37:31
Speaker 2: what makes a spell really scary for me, and why
37:33
Speaker 2: I feel like Imperio is really scary is just like
37:36
Speaker 2: how obviously these types of spells are harder to master
37:41
Speaker 2: and harder to do, and like there's a reason why
37:43
Speaker 2: there's like unforgivable curses and not just everyone can do them,
37:46
Speaker 2: but just how quickly somebody can take over you or
37:54
Speaker 2: how quickly somebody can the other spells we're going to
37:58
Speaker 2: talk about, Like that's what's kind of scary about.
38:00
Speaker 1: It, Like you could literally just be I mean, as
38:03
Speaker 1: we see in the books walking into a bathroom and
38:06
Speaker 1: someone's behind the door imperio, boom, you're done.
38:09
Speaker 2: Like.
38:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, no thanks, right, why do we go to the
38:14
Speaker 1: bathroom in packs?
38:16
Speaker 2: Right? Right? And I think that we like I think
38:19
Speaker 2: like for the most part, like it's very similar to
38:22
Speaker 2: real life, right, like where there's good people, there's bad people.
38:25
Speaker 1: Like.
38:27
Speaker 2: And I don't think like people are walking around like
38:32
Speaker 2: wondering am I going to get imperiod today? Like I
38:34
Speaker 2: don't think that what's happening. But at the same token,
38:38
Speaker 2: like to your point, all it could take is you like, yeah,
38:44
Speaker 2: walking into a public restroom with a bad witch er
38:47
Speaker 2: wizard and just imperio, like, especially if they're good at
38:52
Speaker 2: the spell, and that's terrifying.
38:54
Speaker 1: I mean it's the same as like real life, like
38:57
Speaker 1: walking anywhere. Like it's right, it's not as if like
39:03
Speaker 1: you're fully expecting someone to like jump out and attack you,
39:07
Speaker 1: but it's like something that is in the back of
39:11
Speaker 1: your mind unless I'm just paranoid.
39:14
Speaker 2: But I mean I know that I am in the.
39:15
Speaker 1: Back of my mind and I'm very aware of my surroundings,
39:18
Speaker 1: you know, So yeah.
39:20
Speaker 2: I think what's scary about spells though, is that like
39:24
Speaker 2: if someone were to like physically come at you, you
39:28
Speaker 2: kind of have like a bit of a warning and
39:30
Speaker 2: you can kind of try to put up a defense, right.
39:33
Speaker 1: Yes, you have a chance to defend yourself.
39:35
Speaker 2: Right, And I think obviously, like we just we talked
39:38
Speaker 2: about defensive spells, right, so we know that there are
39:41
Speaker 2: defensive spells, so like there are you know, there are
39:47
Speaker 2: spells to defend yourself against imperial but if you're completely
39:50
Speaker 2: taken off guard, we obviously talked about like there are
39:53
Speaker 2: some witches and wizards that are really skilled and wantless magic.
39:57
Speaker 2: Somebody could be hiding. I don't know what's the what's
40:00
Speaker 2: the range for imperio? Can you be ten feet away
40:03
Speaker 2: from someone hiding behind a bush and it's enough to work?
40:08
Speaker 1: Like I just feel like probably, I feel like.
40:11
Speaker 2: Right, like how do you how do you defend yourself
40:13
Speaker 2: in that way? Like you you just can't And that's terrifying.
40:18
Speaker 2: And I think that's exactly why I kind of added
40:21
Speaker 2: the other two forgivable curses here, Like I think Avata
40:26
Speaker 2: cadavra is terrifying to just literally have somebody say two
40:31
Speaker 2: words and you're dead. Yeah, I think the also very
40:39
Speaker 2: similar to everything we just talked about with Imperio. I
40:41
Speaker 2: think is also the same for a Vata cadavra, and
40:47
Speaker 2: it just I think what's so scary about it is
40:49
Speaker 2: how quick and easy. I use easy with a grain
40:54
Speaker 2: of salt, because again, like we said, these curses are
40:57
Speaker 2: not meant to be easy for anybody to do, but
41:01
Speaker 2: for people that have mastered the unforgivable curses, it is
41:05
Speaker 2: very easy for them to do it right, and for.
41:07
Speaker 1: People who have the intent to do it.
41:12
Speaker 2: Right, it's just it's so easy. You just say the
41:15
Speaker 2: two words, and that's just really scary, like to just
41:18
Speaker 2: be like I'm just okay and now I'm gone. And
41:23
Speaker 2: I think we see it a lot like in the story.
41:25
Speaker 2: We see it, I think especially with I think instantly
41:30
Speaker 2: of like Sirius as death and just how quickly you know.
41:35
Speaker 2: And obviously his is more complicated because there's a veil
41:37
Speaker 2: and we don't know exactly what happened there. But yeah,
41:41
Speaker 2: I don't know it's just having a spell to kill
41:44
Speaker 2: somebody is just scary to me. And then also I
41:49
Speaker 2: added Crusio because again for the exact same reasons we
41:54
Speaker 2: just talked about with Imperio and Avatic Cadavra, the abil
42:00
Speaker 2: to just inflict that amount of pain on somebody with
42:03
Speaker 2: one simple word.
42:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is Yes, that would be like probably my
42:11
Speaker 1: second most scary because you're just in pain and there's
42:15
Speaker 1: no like, it's not going to end until.
42:19
Speaker 2: Until they end it mm hmm. And so it's kind
42:23
Speaker 2: of exactly like to your point with Imperio, like the
42:26
Speaker 2: loss of control. It's one thing to be in a
42:29
Speaker 2: duel with somebody and to get stunned or get knocked
42:32
Speaker 2: off your feet, you can, you know, get back up
42:36
Speaker 2: or you have like you know, you can throw another
42:39
Speaker 2: spell to defend yourself. But if you're like getting Crusiod,
42:44
Speaker 2: like there's like nothing you can do right.
42:46
Speaker 1: Your mind's not going to be working enough in the
42:49
Speaker 1: moments you're.
42:50
Speaker 2: In so much pain. Yeah, it's just terrify. It's terrifying, terrifying, terrifying. Yeah, nope,
42:58
Speaker 2: yep no. And then I also added.
43:02
Speaker 1: Obliviate, very similar to imperial.
43:06
Speaker 2: Yes, and just very similar to all of these again
43:09
Speaker 2: the same theme of just how one word can just
43:15
Speaker 2: like just erase your mid I mean, you know, and
43:19
Speaker 2: it's in the thing is I actually can see obliviate
43:22
Speaker 2: being used for good, especially I think of like being
43:29
Speaker 2: able to remove traumatic memories for people. Obviously we see
43:34
Speaker 2: it used in the series to help protect people when
43:39
Speaker 2: it becomes that desperate, right, But I think that, like
43:45
Speaker 2: it's really scary and especially if you come across somebody
43:49
Speaker 2: who's very skilled in obliviate, what's stopping them from like
43:57
Speaker 2: just doing it to you?
43:58
Speaker 1: Right?
43:59
Speaker 2: And like what what do you do? What do you like?
44:05
Speaker 1: And thing about like how your memories and everything that
44:12
Speaker 1: you've gone through, how much that affects who you are
44:16
Speaker 1: and the choices you make. Like if that's just all
44:20
Speaker 1: taken away, then it's like, okay, who are you? Like
44:25
Speaker 1: what I feel like that would just alter more than
44:28
Speaker 1: just your memory. It's going to alter your personality. It's
44:31
Speaker 1: going to alter your relationships, it's going to alter like
44:35
Speaker 1: your entire lifestyle. Like that's that. Yeah, that's a big one.
44:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's just scary to me that we have a
44:45
Speaker 2: spell that can do something like that. Well, I mean
44:47
Speaker 2: we don't actually have a spell that you know what
44:49
Speaker 2: I mean, if it was a big world, they have
44:52
Speaker 2: a spe that can do that, all.
44:56
Speaker 1: Right, So to kind of lighten up the conversation a
44:58
Speaker 1: little bit. Next category is best party trick. There's so
45:03
Speaker 1: many we could pick for this. I went with disillusionment mm,
45:09
Speaker 1: because I mean that's just fun, like you just disappear
45:12
Speaker 1: and like sneak up on people, move things around.
45:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, who needs an invisibility cloak?
45:19
Speaker 1: Just use this term.
45:23
Speaker 2: I went with puretonum locomotor. Obviously, like our exposure to
45:29
Speaker 2: this spell in the series is used in a serious way. Now,
45:37
Speaker 2: see it was serious, but she also was like giddy
45:41
Speaker 2: and like who I wanted to use that? So I
45:43
Speaker 2: think for McGonagall, like that was her party trick. But yeah,
45:47
Speaker 2: we see it used in a serious way. But I
45:49
Speaker 2: also can see this being used in a very like
45:53
Speaker 2: non serious way, right to just bring inanimate objects to life.
45:56
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's necessarily like a party trick.
46:01
Speaker 2: I kind of had a little bit of trouble like
46:02
Speaker 2: thinking of ones for this one, but I think that
46:04
Speaker 2: like there's something funny that you could do with that. Yeah,
46:10
Speaker 2: and like similar vein, I also thought about in Gorgeo,
46:16
Speaker 2: and I just think of like so many options, Yeah,
46:20
Speaker 2: like with like mad Ie Moody, like in Gorgeifying. I
46:23
Speaker 2: don't know if that's the word, but you know what
46:24
Speaker 2: I mean, making bigger the fighter, and I just think
46:28
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of like fun things that you
46:30
Speaker 2: could do within Gorgio.
46:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.
46:35
Speaker 2: All right.
46:36
Speaker 1: Moving on to most ridiculous. I have to admit that
46:41
Speaker 1: I made this category just so I could bring out
46:43
Speaker 1: this spell because this has always bugged me and I've
46:47
Speaker 1: always just kind of been like why And that's the
46:50
Speaker 1: bat bogie hecks, like what why? Why was this even developed?
46:55
Speaker 1: Why was someone like I'm going to make a spell
46:58
Speaker 1: that makes your boogers in your nose turn into tiny
47:02
Speaker 1: bats like what why?
47:05
Speaker 2: And aggressively fly out.
47:10
Speaker 1: Like if that happened to me? I just like what,
47:13
Speaker 1: Like Okay.
47:16
Speaker 2: I mean I guess, like are you using this kind
47:18
Speaker 2: of spell and like an offensive way during a due
47:24
Speaker 2: But like I just feel like there's so many other
47:27
Speaker 2: feels that are better for that.
47:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't do anything. It's I don't think that
47:32
Speaker 1: it would like effect how your opponent comes at you.
47:36
Speaker 2: I feel like it would hurt though, Like My question is,
47:41
Speaker 2: are they this maybe this one that our best topic.
47:46
Speaker 2: But okay, hear me, right, are they? How do I
47:53
Speaker 2: want to say it booger shaped bats, not booger shaped
47:58
Speaker 2: booger sized, because if the mucus and the bookers are
48:05
Speaker 2: turning into bats, but they stay the size of mucus
48:08
Speaker 2: and boogers, then that doesn't really hurt. It might just
48:12
Speaker 2: tickle as they develop wings and start flying out. But
48:16
Speaker 2: if this charm or packs or spell or whatever you
48:19
Speaker 2: want to call it turns your boogers into bats, like
48:27
Speaker 2: that is going to hurt.
48:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that would hurt.
48:32
Speaker 2: And how do they even how does that work? Now?
48:38
Speaker 2: I just googled it really quick and it does say
48:42
Speaker 2: from the Harry Potter wikie large aggressive bats that fly
48:47
Speaker 2: out of your nose.
48:48
Speaker 1: So it's like maybe this hack somehow incorporates the same
48:52
Speaker 1: magic that Ingorgeo uses.
48:58
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, I guess My question is is that
49:02
Speaker 2: so the key details right? So when it gorges your boggers,
49:07
Speaker 2: gives them wings and basically they start attacking your face.
49:13
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't realize that they like attacked you too.
49:17
Speaker 2: I mean, they're large aggressive bats that all of a
49:20
Speaker 2: sudden as I feel like they're gonna kind of be like, oh,
49:23
Speaker 2: I want if they come out and then maybe start
49:24
Speaker 2: attacking you.
49:26
Speaker 1: I mean, even if even if they attack your face,
49:32
Speaker 1: this spell is still just kind of ridiculous to me.
49:34
Speaker 2: I don't know, it is I feel like there's better
49:37
Speaker 2: I feel I mean, this does talk about the effect
49:39
Speaker 2: is like to cause distraction and intense embarrassment. And apparently
49:43
Speaker 2: the danger level is only moderate for humans, but it's
49:46
Speaker 2: fatal if used on like non human animals. But I
49:50
Speaker 2: just have like a lot of questions about it because like, oh,
49:53
Speaker 2: really funny. So actually on Google under fan interpretations, it
49:59
Speaker 2: says on the Harry Potter reddit thread, several fans have
50:05
Speaker 2: expressed mixed opinions on exactly what I said earlier. Are
50:09
Speaker 2: they fully formed regular animals bats or are they slimy?
50:14
Speaker 2: It's not like green creatures. I think we need to
50:16
Speaker 2: know that because I cannot physically see how a full
50:21
Speaker 2: fledged blat comes out of your nose, we might need
50:24
Speaker 2: to put this in the scariest category of that's.
50:26
Speaker 1: The case, But like this needs to be clarified.
50:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, obviously we know that
50:34
Speaker 2: Ginny uses this and Draco and he survives, and so like,
50:37
Speaker 2: it must not be that terrifying.
50:39
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's more of like a joke
50:41
Speaker 1: X I think so really like.
50:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, meant to inflict like pain, even though it sounds
50:49
Speaker 2: very painful. Yeah, it's yeah. And the person who came
50:55
Speaker 2: up with a spell like why like why are you
50:57
Speaker 2: just sitting around and you're like, I'm just gonna make
50:58
Speaker 2: your boogers turn into.
50:59
Speaker 1: Bad you know, it was probably like a twelve year
51:02
Speaker 1: old boy now had this dream and then grew up
51:05
Speaker 1: to develop this spouse.
51:07
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how true this is, but
51:09
Speaker 2: according to Google, the inventor was the famous wizarding author
51:13
Speaker 2: Miranda Goshock.
51:16
Speaker 1: Okay, Miranda, Like why all right, I.
51:21
Speaker 2: Don't again, I don't know how true that is, but yeah,
51:29
Speaker 2: interesting anyways. Yeah, I think it's definitely a joke. I
51:33
Speaker 2: think it's definitely something that all the young kids would
51:36
Speaker 2: do to each other. But I agree that it's just
51:39
Speaker 2: kind of ridiculous when you think about it. So of
51:44
Speaker 2: a similar vein I thought of sluguless erecto, which we
51:51
Speaker 2: see this happening to ron mm hmm, and it makes
51:57
Speaker 2: someone kind of uncontrollably like vomits slugs, and I, I
52:00
Speaker 2: guess I just like don't understand what this accomplishes other
52:03
Speaker 2: than just being really uncomfortable and really gross. And I
52:07
Speaker 2: guess it's funny for the other people, but this would
52:10
Speaker 2: be like one of my worst nightmares. Yeah, it's pretty gross.
52:15
Speaker 2: I just think it's ridiculous, Like why, like right, just yeah,
52:21
Speaker 2: why yeah? And then the last one I thought of
52:25
Speaker 2: was Taran Telegra, which like very similar to cantus. This
52:29
Speaker 2: one makes the victim dance uncontrollably right, and that also
52:35
Speaker 2: sounds kind of ridiculous. But again, I think these all
52:38
Speaker 2: have that like comical component to it. Maybe it would
52:42
Speaker 2: be really funny to be like dueling a death theater
52:45
Speaker 2: and use Terran Telegra on them and cantas at the
52:48
Speaker 2: same time they can sing and dance and then you
52:51
Speaker 2: just humiliate them. But I think it's kind of just
52:54
Speaker 2: really ridiculous that someone's like, you know, I'm going to
52:56
Speaker 2: come up with a spell that's going to make you
52:58
Speaker 2: dance uncontrollably right, Like yeah, it's just kind of ridiculous.
53:05
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Uh all right, So next category is most versatile.
53:16
Speaker 1: So first one for me, I thought of aguamentee, because
53:20
Speaker 1: I feel like there's just a lot of different situations
53:22
Speaker 1: where you might need water, you know, obviously to drink,
53:28
Speaker 1: if you needed to cook something and you needed water,
53:34
Speaker 1: if you needed to like wash something like powerwash with
53:38
Speaker 1: your wand conjuring to put out fire like all that stuff. Like,
53:44
Speaker 1: I feel like aquament is pretty versatile. I agree. And
53:50
Speaker 1: then my other one finite incantatum. I mean, if it
53:55
Speaker 1: can basically undo like most spells, that seems pretty versatile
54:00
Speaker 1: and like you could be using that quite a bit.
54:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know we already talked about like repair O,
54:10
Speaker 2: but I also put that in this category because I
54:14
Speaker 2: just think that all the different things that you could
54:18
Speaker 2: use it to repair, I think it could be a
54:20
Speaker 2: very versatile spell for you. I also added impervious here,
54:27
Speaker 2: which is the spell that makes an object like repel
54:30
Speaker 2: water and missed, and so I thought of this because
54:34
Speaker 2: as a glasses wearer, this would be really helpful. But
54:38
Speaker 2: also I think about like our cars, and if we
54:41
Speaker 2: could just like impervious the windshields, Like imagine how like
54:45
Speaker 2: good that would be when you're driving and it's like
54:48
Speaker 2: downpouring using impervious on your shoes, could you save yourself
54:55
Speaker 2: from needing an umbrella. If you just impervious, could you
54:57
Speaker 2: impervious yourself or your clothing.
55:00
Speaker 1: Previous your hair?
55:01
Speaker 2: Oh, oh my god, any be a light? Oh my god,
55:06
Speaker 2: that would be so great. And for our listeners, I
55:09
Speaker 2: have like naturally like very curly hair, and I straighten
55:12
Speaker 2: my hair, and so it's always a struggle to like
55:15
Speaker 2: go in pools or in water or like if it
55:18
Speaker 2: starts raining, because I'm like, oh my god, my hair
55:20
Speaker 2: is gonna curl. And so like this would be the humidity.
55:23
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, ye see, very versatile.
55:27
Speaker 1: See mine's not as curly, but I get the poof
55:31
Speaker 1: from humidity, right, the volume grows outward. That's really helpful.
55:37
Speaker 2: Yes, So I think that this this maybe this is
55:40
Speaker 2: definitely a spell that probably could have gone into the
55:43
Speaker 2: most useful category. But I also think it could be
55:45
Speaker 2: very versatile because I think you just think of like
55:50
Speaker 2: because we see impervious used in the series in a
55:54
Speaker 2: glasses kind of way, like Harry's Quidditch goggles. But once
55:57
Speaker 2: I started really thinking about this, I really start been
56:00
Speaker 2: thinking about all the different ways it would be really
56:02
Speaker 2: helpful to repel water.
56:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, all right, and then our last category
56:11
Speaker 1: is most life changing if available in the Muggle world
56:16
Speaker 1: besides impervious.
56:20
Speaker 2: That would be very life changing. Actually, yes, so.
56:24
Speaker 1: I thought of the cheering charm. I think this could
56:28
Speaker 1: just be really helpful overall in like treating depression and
56:33
Speaker 1: things of that nature. And then a nap neo which
56:40
Speaker 1: clears the airway and stops choking. That's life changing. Like yeah,
56:52
Speaker 1: and then my last one I had for this was portois,
56:56
Speaker 1: which is used to make a port key. So I mean,
56:59
Speaker 1: think about how small the world got as soon as
57:02
Speaker 1: we got the Internet. Imagine being able to just like
57:06
Speaker 1: travel somewhere anywhere in the world within minutes just by
57:10
Speaker 1: transfiguring something into a poor key like.
57:15
Speaker 2: That.
57:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be pretty cool.
57:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I put I agree with all of those,
57:24
Speaker 2: and I also I put a piskey in this category
57:27
Speaker 2: as well. And also I guess brackiam a mendo because
57:31
Speaker 2: I just think that, yeah, if we just had a
57:34
Speaker 2: spell like in the real world to be able to
57:36
Speaker 2: heal things, like, just how much easier would that, Like, yeah,
57:43
Speaker 2: you don't even need to be on crutches, or like
57:45
Speaker 2: you could make somebody, you could heal somebody quicker, and
57:48
Speaker 2: maybe avoid further complications, and just yeah, a big part
57:52
Speaker 2: of our Muggle world is healing in medicine, and I
57:57
Speaker 2: just think of how life changing it would be to
57:58
Speaker 2: have spells that could very quickly treat people medically. And
58:04
Speaker 2: then also I put Scourgeify entogio because I hate cleaning,
58:09
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people hate cleaning, and
58:11
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people hate how long cleaning
58:14
Speaker 2: takes and how much effort it takes. And if we
58:18
Speaker 2: just literally had spells that could help us clean, yeah,
58:24
Speaker 2: imagine how much time we'd get back. You wouldn't have
58:28
Speaker 2: to waste a day of your two days off a
58:30
Speaker 2: week to clean. It would just be like it would
58:33
Speaker 2: be life changing.
58:34
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like you could use Scorgefy to
58:37
Speaker 1: do your laundry too.
58:39
Speaker 2: So yeah, I did hours of laundry over the last
58:44
Speaker 2: couple of days. Those are hours of my life I
58:48
Speaker 2: can't get.
58:48
Speaker 1: Back, right, I know my washing machine is currently broken.
58:53
Speaker 1: If I just had Scorgeify right, be so much simpler,
59:02
Speaker 1: all right, So, yeah, lots of spells. There's like way
59:08
Speaker 1: more spells than I feel like I usually think of.
59:14
Speaker 1: So it's kind of fun to go through and remind
59:16
Speaker 1: ourselves of different ones specialis Ravilio. All right, so four
59:34
Speaker 1: our rotating segments. I figured these three would come up,
59:39
Speaker 1: and they did, thanks to Nicole.
59:42
Speaker 2: So we're going to go through the etymology you brought up, Imperio.
59:47
Speaker 1: I did. I did one third of this is my fault.
59:53
Speaker 1: But we're going to go through the etymology of the
59:55
Speaker 1: three unforgivable curses. So for step, we've got the killing
1:00:01
Speaker 1: curse of Atta Cadavra. So this incantation of atta cadabra
1:00:08
Speaker 1: actually comes from the Aramaic spell of the same incantation,
1:00:13
Speaker 1: which means let the thing be destroyed. And we do
1:00:17
Speaker 1: actually have a quote about this from JK. Rowling. So
1:00:22
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and four there was a live
1:00:25
Speaker 1: event at the Edinburgh Book Festival and she said, quote,
1:00:30
Speaker 1: it is an ancient spell in Aramaic and it is
1:00:34
Speaker 1: the original of abracadabra, which means let the thing be destroyed.
1:00:39
Speaker 1: Originally it was used to cure illness, and the thing
1:00:42
Speaker 1: was the illness, but I decided to make it the thing,
1:00:45
Speaker 1: as in the person standing in front of me. So yeah,
1:00:51
Speaker 1: that makes sense, which I mean, I think it's funny
1:00:55
Speaker 1: because a lot of different translations of the books do
1:00:59
Speaker 1: have a that a cadaver come up as abracadabra, so
1:01:04
Speaker 1: it makes sense because it's kind of like variations off
1:01:07
Speaker 1: of it.
1:01:08
Speaker 2: I think people still confuse them kind of to this day.
1:01:11
Speaker 2: They do.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: So. Also, notably, cadavra also sounds very similar to cadaver,
1:01:21
Speaker 1: which we know is a corpse or a dead body.
1:01:25
Speaker 1: In cadaver is derived from the Latin kadare, which means
1:01:30
Speaker 1: to fall. So then we have the imperious curse or imperio.
1:01:39
Speaker 1: This is derived from Latin imperium, which means supreme power, command, rule,
1:01:45
Speaker 1: et cetera. And obviously I mean, as with most Latin
1:01:51
Speaker 1: root words, you can see where this relates in our
1:01:53
Speaker 1: English language today with like words like imperial and empire.
1:02:00
Speaker 1: So coming from that same root, imperio, which is the
1:02:05
Speaker 1: incantation of the curse, is also a Latin word with
1:02:08
Speaker 1: basically the same exact meaning as imperium, but just a
1:02:13
Speaker 1: grammatical difference in where and how you put the words
1:02:16
Speaker 1: in a sentence. So you know, like we have nouns,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: verbs all that that kind of situation. And then lastly
1:02:27
Speaker 1: we've got the cruciatis curse or crucio, and crisiotis is
1:02:32
Speaker 1: Latin for tormented, tortured, or agony, and the incantation crucio
1:02:39
Speaker 1: is also Latin and translate to I torture, So pretty
1:02:44
Speaker 1: spot on. Yep, it's not a lot of confusion there.
1:02:52
Speaker 1: Both words are derived from the root word crux, which
1:02:56
Speaker 1: means cross or steak, like used in execution methods like
1:03:02
Speaker 1: burning or crucifixion, which you can also see the relation
1:03:06
Speaker 1: between crucio and crucifi. So yeah, it's all about torture, sonoys.
1:03:19
Speaker 2: So on our last episode where we talked all about
1:03:22
Speaker 2: Wisdom World theme park food, we asked the question what
1:03:27
Speaker 2: is your favorite Wisdom World theme park food? We got
1:03:29
Speaker 2: a couple answers, so Jerry shared that she said, well,
1:03:35
Speaker 2: if my favorite Wisdom World food means what I have
1:03:37
Speaker 2: had every time I go to a Worsden World theme park,
1:03:40
Speaker 2: then it has to be butter beer hot in cold
1:03:42
Speaker 2: weather and or early in the morning. So again, hot
1:03:46
Speaker 2: rains frozen when it is hot, as I am impacted
1:03:53
Speaker 2: badly by heat, and the frozen butterbeer hopes cool me
1:03:55
Speaker 2: down and doesn't slash around in the cup if I
1:03:58
Speaker 2: drink and walk at the same time. And Jerry also
1:04:01
Speaker 2: loves the French design souvenir mugs.
1:04:04
Speaker 1: They're really cool.
1:04:05
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, she said, there's so much cooler than the
1:04:07
Speaker 2: ones in the Legacy parks. Jerry said one food spot
1:04:11
Speaker 2: that she missed in our fun episode was the food
1:04:14
Speaker 2: truck in London across from Grimmeld Place and the night bus.
1:04:17
Speaker 2: That is true, we did forget to include that that
1:04:20
Speaker 2: sells mainly jacket potatoes. Jerry said, I have frequently purchased
1:04:25
Speaker 2: a jacket potato from the spot when Hungary and the
1:04:26
Speaker 2: lines to get into the Leaky Cauldron were very long
1:04:29
Speaker 2: and one can eat while standing in line for the
1:04:31
Speaker 2: Hogwarts Express. Well, Jerry, you'll have to maybe try some
1:04:34
Speaker 2: of the new jacket style potatoes or baked potatoes that
1:04:39
Speaker 2: are available. Was I hit three broomsticks? I feel like
1:04:41
Speaker 2: I should remember.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, I'm also a big fan of this jacket
1:04:46
Speaker 1: potato cart. I like to get a potato and like
1:04:48
Speaker 1: sit at that fountain area and just enjoy it.
1:04:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've never gotten any room from this cart before,
1:04:54
Speaker 2: which is really surprising. Yeah, that might have to happen
1:04:59
Speaker 2: next time I'm at Universal. But anyways, Jerry also said
1:05:04
Speaker 2: that you could also eat while standing in line for
1:05:07
Speaker 2: the Hogwarts Express. Jerry said that she also loves Florine
1:05:11
Speaker 2: Fordes Who's ice cream Parlor. Her favorite flavors are the strawberry,
1:05:14
Speaker 2: peanut butter, and huckleberry and she also said that she
1:05:18
Speaker 2: tried the clotted cream ones and although real clouded cream
1:05:21
Speaker 2: is something I love when visiting the UK, found it
1:05:23
Speaker 2: to be disappointing boof wow.
1:05:25
Speaker 1: So maybe it's good that they're always out of it, Nicole.
1:05:27
Speaker 2: I know I talked about in the last episode that
1:05:29
Speaker 2: I think that that might become my favorite if I
1:05:31
Speaker 2: can eventually get it. But we'll see. I'll have to
1:05:34
Speaker 2: let you know, Jerry, if I ever get a chance
1:05:36
Speaker 2: to try it and what I think of it.
1:05:39
Speaker 1: So.
1:05:39
Speaker 2: Jerry also adds that she loves sitting outside at the
1:05:42
Speaker 2: French Cafe in Epic and had a great tip about
1:05:44
Speaker 2: mobile ordering snacksty Inline at the Cirque Arcana show. She
1:05:48
Speaker 2: also adds that Universal is overall very good about having
1:05:50
Speaker 2: food options for various dietary needs. Although she said there's
1:05:54
Speaker 2: no gluten free option for the butterbeer crep or waffle.
1:05:57
Speaker 2: Jerry says there is a secret gluten free the pancake
1:06:00
Speaker 2: available at the leaky cauldron, and she's going to try
1:06:03
Speaker 2: and ask if they would put the butter beer waffle
1:06:05
Speaker 2: toppings on that gluten free pancake next time.
1:06:08
Speaker 1: She goes that's a good idea.
1:06:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely let us know if that works because I
1:06:16
Speaker 2: would love to share that. From alder Hollows on Instagram,
1:06:22
Speaker 2: they shared that their favorite food are the three broomstick ribs, gingernuts,
1:06:26
Speaker 2: and butter beer is a given and I do believe.
1:06:30
Speaker 2: We also engaged further with alder Hallows and asked what
1:06:33
Speaker 2: is your favorite form of butter beer and alder Hallows
1:06:36
Speaker 2: said hot, so again but there it is supreme. Yes.
1:06:44
Speaker 2: And then lastly, Carolyn shared that the Flour seventy five
1:06:48
Speaker 2: from bar Moonshine is her favorite and she said it's
1:06:51
Speaker 2: one of the best mixed drinks that she's ever had.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: Wow. High praise, very high praise. I did not try
1:06:59
Speaker 1: that one when we all win, I had a sip
1:07:03
Speaker 1: of several of the different ones because we all ordered
1:07:05
Speaker 1: different things. That was not one that I tried. So
1:07:08
Speaker 1: here it is on the bar Moonshine menu. It says
1:07:12
Speaker 1: London dry gin, elderflower licor broot, sparkling wine, lemon juice,
1:07:19
Speaker 1: simple Syrup and lemon spiral. So the discussion question for
