Bellatrix's Shattering Spell
Incantation	Unknown
Hand Movement	Point wand at target
Light	Burst of blue light
Effect	Creates explosion

[Source]

This unidentified spell released a burst of blue light when cast; it is used to shatter things, extinguish candles, and presumably cause wreckage in general.

Known uses

• Bellatrix Lestrange used the spell to shatter the windows in the Great Hall in her insane celebratory outburst after the death of Albus Dumbledore in 1997.

Behind the scenes

• This spell may be the Reductor Curse, though because it extinguished all the candles and smashed all the windows simultaneously, it is probable that this is a different spell altogether.
• It may be related to, or the same spell as, the one Voldemort used a year later to begin the Battle of Hogwarts.

Appearances

• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)
