"Pansy Parkinson, to Hermione's delight, missed all her lessons the following day, as she had sprouted antlers."
— Pansy Parkinson after having had this spell used on her[src]

Anteoculatia was the incantation of a dark charm that grew antlers on the head of the target.[1][2]

History

During the 1988–1989 school year, Ben Copper practised this spell along with several other offensive spells on a set of Mechanical Death Eaters on the Training Grounds prior to running into Jacob's sibling.[3]

In 1996, after Fred and George Weasley's dramatic exit from Hogwarts, Pansy Parkinson was hit with this spell, presumably in retaliation for the fact that she and other members of the Inquisitorial Squad had been helping Argus Filch to crack down on the sudden increase in rule-breaking. The next day, Pansy had to miss all of her classes, which pleased Hermione Granger.[4]
