Harry Potter Lethal Harmless Spells

#1
It's been done to death in HP fics where Harry or someone states that you can use any spell lethaly. So heres a thread where you list a few harmless spells and how they could be deadly.

Example:
chuckg said:
Anti-Cheating Charm: Since it doesn't say what kinds of exams it can be used for, define the exam as a breath-holding contest. Breathing without formally withdrawing from the exam first is cheating. "Forget" to tell target that exam is being held at all, much less procedure for formally withdrawing.

Alohamora: Focused to open the target's heart valves all simultaneously and keep them that way. Target dies of massive heart failure.

Bubblehead Charm: Hit the target with a smoke bomb from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, then use a bubblehead on them to keep the fumes from dissipating. Target dies of smoke inhalation.

Point Me Charm: Put the 'Point Me' on a lawn dart, then launch your new guided missile into their head. For extra lethality, use poison tip.

Reparo: Start with one small plastic garbage bag. Coat inside with glue. Then shred bag until its barely a plastic necklace, with tattered scraps hanging off of the neck of the bag. Slip "necklace" over target's head and quickly cast reparo charm, leaving target stuck with intact plastic garbage bag glued over their head.

I'll have to retract the Point Me one; on going back and rechecking, the canon version only makes the caster's wand point north, and I haven't got any ideas there. Its the fanon version that guides to any one designated object.

Outside of that, yes.

And hrm, spells, spells...

Color-changing charm.
Cheering charm.
Sticking charm.
 
#3
Color changing charm: Line a dark hall with traps and color change an opponents eye fluid black as they walk in.

Cheering charm: Lock the in an air tight room or such and let them sufficate on their own breath after a while. / Use it to give away their posostion to another enimy.

Sticking charm: Stick them in place to get him by a truck or mauled by an animal.

Living to non-living transfiguration:
Turning the heart/brain/whatever to stone. Laugh.

Cheering charm:
Make him laugh so hard he can't breath.
(Not too sure on that one: Would he faint before dying?)

Wingardium Leviosa:
A classic: Make it fly, very, very high, and drop it.

Accio:
Accio someone through barbed wire: Hahahaha!

Aguamenti:
Directly in the mouth to drown your enemy.
(Not so harmless but hey, fun!)

Anapneao (unblock's target's airway, allowing them to breathe) - used on someone wearing a gas-mask in a place full of poison gas.

Aparecio (causes invisible ink to appear if present) - cover someone's glasses/goggles with invisible ink, then use when they're playing quiddich

Bat-Bogey Hex - engorgio someone's nose to be larger than the rest of their head first.

Caterwauling charm (causes high-pitched shriek if anyone enteres area of effect) - cast on a field of sleeping but uprooted mandrake.

Descendo (causes something to lower) - used on the ceiling above someone

Sonorous: Cast it on a mandrake. You just killed every human being without hearing protection for half a mile.

... cripes, somebody write a fic where Harry uses this as a WMD to wipe out an entire Death Eater army. :)

I read a scene in a snippet collection where Snape does this. Okay, just the Inner Cirlce + Voldemort.

-Impermeable Charm: Keeps liquids from getting onto a surface. You could use it on someone's throat and either choke them or prevent them from being able to drink any water.

-Leg-Lock Jinx: Use it on someone in water, and they'll drown.

-Defodio (Gouging Spell): Can carve or dig out materials, such as stone and steel. Use it to carve out someone's organs.

-Engorgio (Engorging Charm): Causes objects to swell in size. Using it on any number of human organs could be very fatal.

Sonorous WMD 2.0: Cast on something that's already an extremely loud noise, like a jet engine or an exploding bomb. Watch every eardrum within miles implode. Best advice is to first silence the area around your own ears first.

Accio someone's heart out of the ribcage, if possible.

Lumos: Use in a cave and get mauled by a previously sleeping bear.

Scourgify (cleaning charm): Use on someone who was bleeding to clean up the blood on their body, also removes the clotted blood so a fatal wound reopens and the person dies of blood loss.

Portus (portkey spell): Set the portkey to any potentially lethal location like above an active volcano. Was used quite effectively in one story 'To Make a Wish'.

If I'm not mistaken, I've already read a fic where Harry did that to Bellatrix.

I'm not positive which it is, but I THINK it was Harry Potter: Rogue by kb0 @ FF.Net.

You're doing it a bit wrong. While doing that spell to someone's throat could choke someone due to you essentially drying his/her throat (swallowing food needs lube too), you'll have to enchant the whole digestive system especially the large intestine if you want to dehydrate someone.

That said, i'd want to see how you kill someone via Protego if it hasn't been done. And not by deflecting Avada Kedavra or anything, just plain old Protego.

Creating a small Protego in their throat to preventing them from eating or drinking. Or a Protego over their anus to prevent egestion.

Vanishing spells: vanish a pillar or roof support, watch as the building collapses and kills everyone inside.

... or at the bottom of the bladder, to stop fluid release. Both of the latter are rather slow, though.

Instant death is inherently cooler, and takes less effort.
 
#22
Hm... Just what does Protego repel, anyway? Any matter, magic spells only, or hostile magics only? If it repels all magic spells, use it to prevent healing. If it repels any matter, well the killing potential is very great. Going with the two aforementioned examples, I'd rather make a micro-Protego to induce aneurysm in the brain by repelling blood in a micro-capillary in the brain and creating a potentially fatal lesion (at least taking out the motor/sensor ability of the victim).

Patronus: Send a patronus at someone with a pacemaker shorting it out.

Accio: Accio Kidney Stones

Engorgio: Engorgio Kidney Stones

A Boggart: Since a young age I have had a tremendous fear of nuclear bombs going off. If boggarts existed and I was in front of one, it would turn into an exploding nuclear bomb 100 times the size of any that actually existed that would end the life of everyone on the planet. Considering boggarts can mimic other magics like the Dementors, it is not a stretch to assume they could mimic existing technology magnified tremendously.

There is a theoretical limitation on power. Otherwise spells that cause explosions could do the same thing.

At least 70% of all spells listed in this thread also fall under that limitation. It hasn't stopped any of them yet.
