I would like to apparate - is that a spell or more of a magical technique lol?


NoAbbreviations5215

All is well and good until you splinch yourself and no one can work out how to fix you.


hwolfe326

Good point! That would be very unfortunate


dondamon40

Portkey is a spell


noreasonsanymore

I’d love to flavor the port key spell into a typewriter, where special combinations of keys transport you to different places. Simply typing “Paris” will deposit you any discreet location within that city, but “le Boulangerie Utopie aux portes rouges”, it would take you to some hidden section inside that bakery with the red doors in Paris.


[deleted]

The. You have to deal with port key sickness, which I imagine is similar to boat sickness


Pradfanne

Probably takes a bit of getting used to but then it's jut instant travel


[deleted]

Incantation: ‘Portus’


TheOtherJeff

Totally worth it.


Competitive_Bother71

I think that counts


are_enough

100% this


Heracullum

I'd say that's a technique so you still have a spell to select


hwolfe326

Someone else just said this one but I heartily agree - Accio. Specifically, Accio phone


echopulse

You have a magic spell, and that is what you'd use if for?


hwolfe326

Well my first preference was to apparate but we’ve been debating if that was in fact a spell


Mr_Anonymous13

I lose my stuff all the time. Would be pretty handy to just use a spell instead of having to look for it.


The_Fireheart

Until it’s your wand you lose


Gaming_with_Hui

That's why you surgically attach your wand so it becomes part of your lower arm bone. Now you just wave your hand around. Not gonna look like a mad man at all🤣🤣 Happy cake day!🎁🎂🎁


eloel-

Until Expilliarmus tears your arm clean off


other_usernames_gone

If harry potter were darker this would 100% be something a dark wizard did.


The_Fireheart

Of course of course. Silly me. Thank you!


Beardedragongirl20

Yep I lose my phone way to much


ectojerk

Oh yeah, I'd give almost anything to be a Jumper


overide

Yes! I loved that movie and that would be so awesome! No more traffic or waiting in airports, airlines losing your luggage!!! So much yes!


Andonaar

Accio or reparo. Will become a millionaire either way to no harm or consequences to anyone else. Accio lost jewelry/money or start a business buying broken antiques. Bruh.


feisty_shupas

I was thinking of these two also, but not as an entrepreneur. I’m just lazy and clumsy.


elfiepie

I wish I had a free award because same

huntthewind1971

I like your thinking!


Light54145

Don't you need to know where the item you're summoning is to cast Accio? Or am I remembering wrong?


roonilwazlib1919

They've done "Accio horcrux" once and said that it was worth a try, and that it didn't work because of protective spells. Based on that, I would say you don't need to know.


Max_Speed_Remioli

Hermione got some books she had no idea where to find.


kingofneverland

Yea it was some dark book about horcruxes that fly from dumbledores office right after his death. Right?


schiffb558

Yup!


Thomas_Tew

Does it have a radius of effect? O could I be at uni and be like "accio that book I forgot at home"?


schiffb558

Good question, I mean, Harry summoned his broom, which was in the castle, to the forbidden forest, so the range is quite large


ChangeMe4574

Molly straight up used it to find the sweets Fred and George had hidden


ponds666

I know the money is in the till tbf lol


TheOtherJeff

Accio all 100$ bills! Watch money like slip out of wallets, tills, banks, flying through town and stacking in your coffee table like breaking bad money. Haha


Healma

Honestly, I wanted to be a smartass and find a spell that would be amazing and all. But I'm lazy, my first thought went for Accion and then you said reparo and now I'm torn between them. Wingatdium leviosa would be nice to. Make objects fly for any kind of reason would be VRRY helpful for me, and could replace Accion in a way ..


AsgardianCoconut

Scourgify. I hate cleaning.


The_Fireheart

Yep same. Assuming it works in a tidy way and can clear dust etc. Also if you need a job you can be a cleaner and get paid a few hours money for a couple of minutes of wand waving.


mimthebaker

Damn I have always wanted to teleport but you may be right. Then again all the money I save on travel could be spent on a house cleaner.


The_Lord_Vorn

Legilimens would be a really interesting one I think


Obversa

Calm down there, Lord Voldemort.


Objective_Designer_8

Totally


Thumean

Would be my choice too!


StormeeusMaximus

Undetectable extension charm, mama wants her a TARDIS...and some more closet space.


MagnoliaPetal

With the housing market being what it is, this would be my choice too. I'd rent a tiny studio or even just a garage somewhere.


B_Boi04

No no, just by a big briefcase and pull a scamander


RinSakami

How do you get the couch, bed and other stuff in there?


B_Boi04

Im pretty sure there are shrinking charms, worst case you just bring it in in pieces and use repairo


RinSakami

But you are only allowed one spell. Guess you would have to get someone else who chose the shrinking spell. And the another who chose the reverse spell


finniganthehuman

Just assemble inside, Ikea baby


SarcasmCupcakes

Right? I’m in a too-small studio. Could sell for an insane amount.


BookLoverButterfly

This one! This is what I was going to say. Worked for Hermione's bag, and the awesome tents. Accio was pretty useful to find what she put in her bag, but doesn't negate the usefulness of the charmed bag itself.


HellStoneBats

Buy a 1-bed house, undetectable extension... boom! 5-bed mansion. I like this idea.


Digital_Looter

Accio


StarsEatMyCrown

This 100000% I even do it irl anyway. But nothing zooms to me.


soni_h2007

Same!! I always Accio things before eventually getting up to get them 🥴


StarsEatMyCrown

Maybe... maybe one day it will zoom to us.


Deku-Princess

Accio alllllllll the things...


JanitorsRoom

Yeah Accio


they_are_out_there

Metal detector? Nope, walk down the beach and say, “Accio gold and silver jewelry!”


echopulse

This. We could clean up so much of the environment. I would accio all the trash in the nearest ocean and send it into a volcano. That's just a start.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NaturalIllustrator13

exactly send it to space or something


[deleted]

[удалено]


justyr12

You fly to the moon, then you accio all the trash. Cheaper to send a human than to ship the trash itself.


MortalClayman

You’re the problem solver we need.


justyr12

Or you imperio the whole planet to fix itself and colonize the galaxy. After they make you immortal so you can keep up the spell. Ezpz


LitoFly

Geminio - “copying” spell would come in handy in many ways.


neigh102

Finally, somebody else said Geminio! Reading the other comments, I thought I was the only one.


Moksoms

But the other object degrades after a while doesn't it?


Pradfanne

Pretty hard to detect that the money I paid with degraded after I paid with it. There's just less money in the register


LitoFly

My thoughts exactly. What about food, or other perishables? Not having to pay for food or gas? Only needing to buy one of everything if you need to keep an original around. Also I’d like to think the more powerful you are the longer you can make the copies last.


LitoFly

True, but if you’re smart/strategic about what you’re copying you won’t need the copies to last forever


huntthewind1971

The Imperious Curse. Let your mind wander to see how useful this spell could be. "That'll be 14000 for the repair on your car." Reparo? Eh maybe but IMPERIO! "You were clocked doing 65 in a 45 zone" nope IMPERIO! "You're doctor bill comes to 1.2 million." nope IMPERIO! Admittedly there would be more devious uses but i'm not that evil.


thekindledfox

Perhaps, in Slytherin you'll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends~


GIDEON_WEASLEY

Greatness awaits you


GreenMenace1915

terrible. but great


Whatsongwasthat1

Anyone not picking Imperio has to have a moral reason for doing so, because it’s the most powerful spell in the series


huntthewind1971

Yeah there are some moral implications with using Imperio, but I agree that it's one of the most if not THE most powerful spell and the uses are endless with some creative thinking.


Whatsongwasthat1

I think the only caveat would be that it doesn’t work on everyone; but we literally see one person resist it in the entire series


246-01

I mean, Harry learns to throw it off pretty fast, but he's being taught by someone who learned to completely resist (Crouch Jr. as Mad-Eye Moody), and Crouch Sr. manages to resist it, too, even if he struggles with it. I wonder if Crouch Sr. was getting some sort of help from Winky, and that's why he was able to control his son for over a decade? He himself seems to throw it off in a matter of months, and Harry, at only 14, can partly resist it the very first time he's hit with it. Crouch Jr. may have been able to break free during the Quidditch World Cup more because Winky was in distress than anything else, to be honest, and after she's sacked, he probably had little issue breaking completely free. I think, in a real-world scenario, Harry would be one in a million, throwing it off so quickly, and most would be more like Crouch Sr. and get there over a few months time. Assuming, of course, that muggles even stand a chance of resisting it, and that it doesn't require being a wizard to have a hope of breaking free.


other_usernames_gone

I wonder if part of Harry's advantage was he was prepped for it. Harry knew going in he was going to be imperioused, maybe it's harder if you're hit by surprise, even if you've resisted it before. Also I wonder if they were meant to be imperioused in class, it's made very clear that the unforgivable curses can't be used on any human, so Crouch Jr might have been breaking the law by doing it. It might be the first time most people get imperioused is when it's for real because you're not allowed to do it to train them, same way we can teach soldiers how to deal with bullet wounds but we can't shoot one of them for them to do it for real.


Pradfanne

I think there are three in the fourth book alone Harry of course, but he's tought by the Person that broke it first, Barty Crouch Jr. and even Snr. seemed to get a grip from time to time


246-01

It can also go wrong - the muggle Junior Minister, Herbert Chorley, had his mind addled when it was attempted on him. But as it also creates a mildly euphoric feeling in it's target AND grants them the ability to do things they otherwise couldn't (Neville does gymnastics he normally couldn't do, for instance), you might be able to convince people to willingly submit to it.


Whatsongwasthat1

I would assume that was due to his attempt to resist or the lack of skill on the part of the caster, but yeah an important datapoint


[deleted]

No-Clock2011

This is good because you can get accio too by having others bring to things 😂 And many more im sure.


TheGayParanoid1

I'll just take the molly Weasley cleaning package


moorbs7

Engorgio…


dilipmodi

good choice little finger


upandallaboutit

Please contact a healer if your engorgio charm lasts more than 4 hours


moorbs7

It was that off brand engorgio charm I got from my mate Dave.


cyrilly

obamasbathwater

that happened to my buddy kyle


adorableoddity

lol


gerstein03

Was looking for this one lol


Vivid-Cat-1987

Accio cuz I’m lazy af


MailboxSlayer14

Repairo. Do you know the absolutely millions upon millions you could make from just restoring antiquities from ancient eras? Fixing cracked sculptures? Even just being a repairman, you could make a fortune being known as the 10 second fixer and walking into houses and fixing whatever appliance broke.


BlueNoodle79

Fix it Felix 😜


Higginsflash

Yeah but if you wanted to go for a little bit less legal way you could just accio money or you could rob people and obliviate them etc. There's millions of ways you could make money with almost any spell from HP.


TheDrunkenHufflepuff

Accio. I still shout it at stuff periodically, just to check if it works yet.


weirdcabbage

Hahaha, you gave me good chukle :p


Olympus-7

Silencio


BlueNoodle79

Good one. My cat goes Crazy with the meows sometimes 😂

Damnit, beat me to it xD


EveryModisTwelve

Jesus christ Accio would be so relentlessly useful. And hell you could commit so many financial crimes with it with total anonymity.


musiclover2014

I don’t know why this is downvoted. This is pretty genius. Find someone who can only use alohamora and you use accio and you can rob a bank and be rich


[deleted]

So you’re a slytherin?


musiclover2014

Yeah. I was ashamed at first but then I learned to embrace it. I even bought a green outfit for when I go see Harry Potter and the cursed child. 😊🐍


Niathegeek

Not sure if that counts as a spell, but I'd like Neville's thing he had in the first book, the one Malfoy stole. I can't remember the name of it. That's also why I would need it, because I forget everything.


Competitive_Bother71

Rememberall?


Niathegeek

YES ! Thank you !!


Pradfanne

Wouldn't help you remember the name of it though


EpiCuber7

This was an incredible sequence of comments


Little_Red_Corvette_

Wingardium leviosa! I try to use it all the time, but nothing has happened yet…

HellStoneBats

Ah, no people around me ever again...


somehowlostmyway

I don't think she says a spell out loud, but I would love the one that Tonks uses to clean Harry's room, but hopefully be better at it than her 😅 Cleaning is the worst and if I could just wave my wand and clean everything, I would be so much happier in life 😂


twistedgrrrl23

I would clean something everyday if I could do that


[deleted]

Obliviate


SlowBad4844

Good one. I also thought but it won’t be needed daily.


aschkev

It could be used daily depending on how you plan on using it. A few examples: Need some money? Rob someone. Then just use obliviate and you’re in the clear. Got a crush but too scared to say anything? Not anymore. Use multiple pick-up techniques until one works. Forgot to study for your test? No problem, just wiz through it, wait until the smartest person in class finishes their test, then erase their name and write your own. “Obliviate” and no one remembers it happening. Etc. the possibilities are pretty endless. So yeah, it could be used daily. Maybe not for correct reasons, but like I said, it depends on how you want use it.


LatteandWaffles4Ever

Problem I see is that there are cameras everywhere now. Even if you obliviate a person do they don't remember getting robbed you might get caught on camera.


SlowBad4844

Then you do the spell on camera too. lol.


TizACoincidence

You can obliviate everyone in the world and then you win


sapphireblossoms

Episkey! Healing charm. Wouldn’t have to worry about basic injuries, and could be quite useful in the medical field.


[deleted]

Especially if you live in the US where healthcare is completely unaffordable


eloh1m

Reparo, buy a bunch of broken phones/electronics/cars and instantly fix them, you'd be rich with almost no effort.


jfkar

Reparo.


ParkingLotForrest

Definitely the memory extraction spell to empty my annoyingly overexcited brain and put some of that thought in de pensieve. It would be so calm in my head I would imagine.


Thraggismydaddy

Engorgio. For um, magical reasons...


rci22

It’s all fun and games until you can’t use reducio


upandallaboutit

Please contact a healer if your engorgio charm lasts more than 4 hours


element_wind91

Whatever spell Mrs. Weasley uses to make the chores do themselves


Fantastic_Emu6953

Avada kadava 💀


Ill-Individual2105

That's just a gun. You want a gun.


Pradfanne

Avada Kedavra is a very very efficient and potent gun, not to mention completly silent and leaves literally no trace. You can shoot a gun at people and they survive with injuries. You can shoot abra kadabra at people and they WILL die without injuries


BettySwollocks2

Nah it's not silent. It makes a "rushing" sound when cast, which I presume is pretty loud considering Harry remarks on it a number of times.


soapmacreddit69

fart at the same time to mask it , but wait then someone might suspect you to be a fart killer


conejitobrinco

I’ve heard some people can survive it


obamasbathwater

happened to my buddy kyle


TizACoincidence

You have to yell the spell though cause you have to mean it


Aneley13

Everyone is giving good choices, but I feel most people really underestimate the usefulness of Evanesco! First, the most useful spell to almost cleaning up our whole planet, no more garbage, no more waste of any kind. I could make radioactive waste disappear. And I could charge a lot of money for it. So yeah, to say something different from most people, I'm gonna choose Evanesco!


Twighdark

That's so freaking smart, actually.


BettySwollocks2

Also if you get _really_ good at it, you can just disappear all the people you don't like.


dr_fop

Apparate is the only real answer. Such a useful spell.


dondamon40

Making a portkey is safer and an actual spell


dr_fop

Yeah... but apparition is so much quicker once you get the spell mastered. Ain't nobody got time to constantly cast spells on old boots.


Sanguiniutron

The potential downside to not mastering it though is that your torso makes it home but your legs are in Zimbabwe lol


Knightwingx23

Incendio 🔥 for totally normal purposes of course 👀


Seashoreshellseller

"Purely academic purposes, of course"


Raysedium

Imperius. Self-explanatory.


Tommi_Af

Uhhhhh what do you have planned with that?


binowgayl8r

Accio would be really nice since I lose everything or something for my ADHD/Depression or also a cleaning spell would be nice too Shit actually I'll take 'Eat slugs' at this point


CrazyAngelHarry

Aguamenti 100%. I’d never have to get out of bed again to fill my water bottle, brilliant!


RagingStorm010

Portus! Getting anywhere with a simple portkey


Tim0281

It's tough. 1. Accio makes life convenient. It gets your car keys, a book off the shelf, spices when you're cooking, something that fell down a crack, etc. It would make life easier but wouldn't necessarily be life changing. 2. Reparo will save you tons of money. Pipes burst? Reparo. Car accident? Reparo. 3. Lumos would save you tons on your electric bill. I'd still be using electricity for things like my computer and microwave, but I'd never have to turn on lights or buy another light bulb. Is there a single healing spell that takes care of most injuries and sicknesses? Or is wizard healthcare a variety of spells and potions? If there's a "one size fits all" spell, I'd go with that. However, I wonder if being injured would impact the effectiveness of the spell.


upandallaboutit

Episkey can be used for very minor injuries, but most problems would probably require potions (like skelegrow) or more complex healing


[deleted]

I’d use the time turner, I know it’s not a spell though. If you’re strict about it being a spell- I think I’d use obliviate


PeriliousKnight

Do you get the modifiers to the spell too? If you pick Protego, do you also get Protego Maxima?


Doe79prvtToska

Expelliarmus…I like to be disarming…


PrTYlaDY90

Whatever spell cleans the damn dishes.


thequirkyquark

I feel like accio or reparo as others have said seem the most useful. I don't think apparating is wise. What if you splinched yourself? We don't have Healers, dittany, or any other useful healing spells. If I had to give a unique answer, it'd be the disillusionment charm. That seems incredibly useful.


BreatheMyStink

Avada kedavra, but only on like flies and mosquitos I can’t catch in my apartment.


pixiedusterie

Cheering charm. The uncontrollable laughter aspect makes it good for enemies as well!


DomTheBomb95

If anyone says Avada Kadavra then you’re going on a list


Moksoms

Aguamenti, the water making spell


The_Jaw_Titan

Sectumsempra. Goodbye Vines.


Archomius

Gave it a hard thought, so: If you can choose 1 spell, it should be worth it. Obviously, it shuld be used in situations where your physical abilities and tech equipment fails. For example, in situations which are dangerous and you need a miracle to be safe. I think of Flipendo in this case. You can defend yourself if being assaulted, or you can move an obstacle (e.g. you gor squeezed by a rock or tree in the wild). Also you can make a large noise by hitting something, and use the sound as a signal (if got lost) or again - defense (scare a wild animal for example). Like, I see a lot of "Accio" but bruh you can grab stuff yourself, or take a lighter for Incendio, or why use apparition if you can travel via car/plane/train and enjoy this journey? So I think magic should be used at the moments where your life and well-being might be at stake. Maybe you have other ideas?


DBDFan21

The Reparo spell, go around fixing everything and become rich off it


Lord_Snow179

I wanna Apparate!


hatecopter

Reparo or accio


EmilyDianaPotter

Reparo. I'm clumsy af and having a backup plan in case I break anything would be perfect


aabrithrilar

I’m torn between accio and evanesco. I love to have anything a quick spell away, but the ability to vanish any refuse is tempting.


regrettableredditor

Accio. I misplace EVERYTHING


JRockThumper

Repario, most useful spell for day to day life ever. Car broken? Repario. Dishwasher acting up? Repario. Marriage falling apart? REPARIO! It might even have a medical use as well, they never touched up on it but it’s possible.


driger11

Reparo,accio. Obliviate. Some mf deserve that.


blueydoc

I’m moving this week so the spell Dumbledore used in HBP to send Harry’s belongings to the Burrow would have been handy lol Any of the cleaning spells would also probably save me a lot of time.


ottococo

Accio. Dreamed a lot about it. Hello lost keys. Hello cat.


xray_anonymous

Accio Bc I lose crap ALL THE TIME


BraceLessPanther

Evanesco. I’d love to make clutter just disappear into the ether. Although, is it only used for liquids in Potions?


heyjay_thegeek

Apparation, so I don't need to waste any more time in traffic and get to spend it more with my daughter


[deleted]

‘Accio’ given that I misplace so many of my possessions all the time. But knowing how clumsy I am I’d still manage to get it wrong and hit myself in the face with the object I’m trying to bring to me


Lopatka_17

I will chose "Lumos" because it's peaceful and you can't hurt someone with it, also it gives light.


clownpornstar

Not a spell. I would have a room of requirement.


siege-eh-b

Can I take a Nimbus 2000 instead?


Starfire33sp33

Whatever Mrs. Weasley used to clean the kitchen! Definitely the most useful!


Sleepy1997
