Charms can be some of the most powerful and game-changing spells in existence. The [[Fidelius Charm]], for example, can completely hide a person or a place in such a way that no one can find them unless they are given the location by a Secret Keeper. [[Memory Charm]]s can be so strong that they completely remove a person's memory or even damage his or her mind permanently. Spells such as [[curse]]s, [[jinxes]], and [[hexes]] are referred to as "[[dark charms]]".<ref>''[[The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1]]'' on [[Pottermore]]</ref> |

- "Charms differ from Transfiguring Spells in the following manner: a charm adds certain properties to an object or creature, whereas a transfiguring spell will change it into something utterly different."
- — The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1 by Miranda Goshawk[src]
A charm is a spell that adds certain properties to an object or creature. Charms are distinguished from transfigurations in that a charm adds or changes properties of an object; it focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is.[1] For example, the Colour Change Charm causes something to flash different colours; the Levitation Charm causes an object to levitate; the Cheering Charm improves upon a creature's mood.
An object that has a lasting charm placed on it is called bewitched, though charms in general appear to last longer than other spells.
Nature
- "Lapses in concentration while charming can result in painful side effects — remember Wizard Baruffio, who said 's' instead of 'f' and found himself lying on the floor with a buffalo on his chest."
- — The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1[src]
Charms can be some of the most powerful and game-changing spells in existence. The Fidelius Charm, for example, can completely hide a person or a place in such a way that no one can find them unless they are given the location by a Secret Keeper. Memory Charms can be so strong that they completely remove a person's memory or even damage his or her mind permanently. Spells such as curses, jinxes, and hexes are referred to as "dark charms".[2]
Successfull casting of a charm is achieved through concentration, precise wand movements, and the proper pronunciation of an incantation. When a charm is casted poorly it will fail and the caster runs the risk of it backfiring.
