Aguamenti (Aguamenti Charm)
Description: Produces a jet of water from the caster's wand.

(Anti-Cheating Spell)
Description: Cast on parchment or quills to prevent the writer from cheating whilst writing answers.

(Anti-Disapparition Jinx)

(Antonin Dolohov's Curse)
Description: This curse causes serious internal injury, but shows no external symptoms. It is described as cast with "a slashing motion", sending out a streak of purple flames. It is not nonverbal, though Harry could not hear it because Hermione had used the silencing charm Silencio on Dolohov before.

Aparecium
Description: This spell makes invisible ink appear.

Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse)
Description: Causes a jet of green light, and a rushing noise; the curse causes instant death to the victim. It leaves no mark of death, and is said to be painles. There is no known counter-curse or blocking spell although the caster can be interrupted, the victim can dodge the curse, hide behind solid objects (which burst into flame when hit by it), or, if the casting wizard is not sufficiently competent, the curse may be completely ineffective.

Avis
Description: This charm creates a flock of birds that pour forth from the caster's wand.

(Babbling Curse)
Description: The Babbling Curse is not fully understood but it is presumed to cause a person to babble whenever they try to speak.

(Banishing Charm)
Description: Opposite to "Accio". Banishes the object the spell is performed on.

(Bat-Bogey Hex)
Description: Grotesquely enlarges the target's bogeys, gives them wings, and sets them attacking the target.

(Bedazzling Hex)
Description: Similar to a Disillusionment Charm, it can be used to conceal a person or an object. Is also used to make invisibility cloaks.

Cave Inimicum

.
(Cheering Charm)
Description: Causes the person upon whom the spell was cast to become happy and contented, though heavy-handedness with the spell may cause the person to break into an uncontrollable laughing fit.

Colloportus
Description: Magically locks a door, preventing it from being opened by Muggle means.

(Colour-Change Charm)
Description: Changes an object's colour.

Confringo (Blasting Curse)
Description: Causes anything that the spell meets to explode in flames.

Confundo (Confundus Charm)
Description: Causes the victim to become confused, befuddled, overly forgetful and prone to follow simple orders without thinking about them.

(Conjunctivitus Curse)
Description: A curse that causes great pain to the victim's eyes.

Crucio (Cruciatus Curse)
Description: Inflicts unbearable pain on the recipient of the curse. The effects of the curse depend upon the desires and emotions of the character – to produce the "excruciating" pain implied by the name, one must (according to Bellatrix Lestrange) desire to cause pain purely for its own sake or for fulfilment. The extreme pain inflicted by the curse when cast so – without any apparent evidence of physical harm – makes it uniquely suited as a form of torture. This pain has included the sensations of flaming bones and a head that was split open by crude methods without sedation.One of the three Unforgivable Curses.
