The Colour Change Charm is a spell that causes an object or animal to change colours.

History

1991

"Sunshine, daisies,
butter mellow,
turn this stupid,
fat rat yellow.
"
Ron Weasley[src]

When Ron Weasley was eleven years old, his brothers Fred and George convinced him to believe that a nonsense poem was this particular charm. The incantation was supposed to turn Ron's rat Scabbers yellow, but being a fake incantation, it caused no change whatsoever. Later in the school term, Hermione Granger also performed this charm during Harry's first Quidditch match on a bedsheet that Scabbers ruined.

1996

During Harry Potter's Charms O.W.L. in 1996, he accidentally switched the incantations for this and the Growth Charm, so that instead of turning the rat orange it grew to the size of a badger before he could reverse his mistake.

1997

Harry Potter used this charm when he came of age to change the robes of the Chudley Cannons posters in Ron's bedroom to bright blue.

Behind the scenes

  • In Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the incantation is "Multicorfors" (MUL-tee-cor-FORS) and changes the color of the victim's torso.
  • Harry Potter may have used this charm as a child to turn his teachers wig blue, when he unknowingly performed underage magic.
