Enlarges teeth |
Densaugeo is a hex which causes the victim's teeth to enlarge grotesquely at "an alarming rate".[1]
In 1994, Draco Malfoy tried to use this hex on Harry Potter, but it struck Hermione Granger instead. The effect of the charm made Hermione's teeth grow past her collar.[1] The hex is reversable as Poppy Pomfrey was able to shrink Hermione's teeth back, most probably with the Reducio charm.[2]
[edit] Etymology
From Latin dens, "tooth", and augeo, "I increase" or "I enlarge".
