- "She whipped out her wand, waved it, muttered something, and sent a jet of the same bluebell flames she had used on Snape at the plant. In a matter of seconds, the two boys felt it loosening its grip as it cringed away from the light and warmth."
- — Hermione Granger using Bluebell Flames against the Devil's Snare[src]
Bluebell Flames[2] (incantation unknown),[1] also known as Cold Fire,[4] was a charm that created magical blue flames with unique properties.[3]
Effects
Hermione placing the Bluebell Flames in a jar
Bluebell flames were bright blue in appearance and were waterproof.[5] Not as dangerous as real fire, these magical flames could be touched, penetrated and held without it burning the holder, though it was known to singe materials such as clothing and plants.[3] As such, it might be safely carried in small objects, such as a jar, without the object being damaged.[6] These unique flames could also be directed to a desired location by its caster, and return to its original position.
Known practitioners
- Unidentified Hogwarts student[7]
- Hermione Granger[6][3][5][8]
- Remus Lupin (possibly)[9]
Known uses
| Caster(s) | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Unidentified Hogwarts student | 1986–1987 | An unidentified Hogwarts student used the bluebell flames and burned all the cushions used in Charms class for the Banishing Charm to be practised.[7] |
| Hermione Granger | November 1991 | Hermione cast a bluebell flame that could be carried around in a jar.[6] |
| She used it to set Snape's robes on fire during the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin of her first year.[6] | ||
| 4 June, 1992 | Hermione used this spell against Devil's Snare when she, Harry, and Ron worked through the challenges surrounding the Philosopher's Stone.[3] | |
| December 1992 | Hermione conjured bluebell flames to heat a cauldron placed in a toilet in second floor girls' lavatory, in order to brew the Polyjuice Potion in it.[5]
| |
| December, post-Christmas, 1997 | Hermione once again contained the flames in a jar to keep both Harry and her warm while retreating in the Forest of Dean.[8] |
Possible uses
| Caster(s) | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Remus Lupin | 1 September, 1993 | This may have been the spell that Lupin used to create hand-held flames to light up the darkened Hogwarts Express carriage on the way to the school at the beginning of the 1993–1994 school year[9] |
Behind the scenes
- In the first film, this spell was replaced by Lacarnum Inflamari when Hermione attempted to distract Snape by igniting his robes, and Lumos Solem to attack the sunlight and heat sensitive Devil's Snare.
The appearance of these flames in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Ron tells Harry that he always liked these flames. In that film, the flames are depicted as normal, reddish-orange fire which levitate without a surface to burn on, though in the book they appear blue,[8] as in the other books.
- The first two video games depict this fire as similar to the Incendio. However, these appearances must not be considered valid, as Incendio produces normal fire, not the bewitched flames that this spell creates.
