It is not known precisely who created the Disarming Charm, though it is known that it was not very popular until [[1379]], when [[Elizabeth Smudgling]] - the most likely [[Spell creation|inventor]] in the [[Book of Spells|opinion]] of [[Miranda Goshawk]] - used it in a duelling contest in Dartmoor.<ref name="WON">''[[Wonderbook: Book of Spells]]'' (See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsuo7ZeE3Bw this video]) (00:20 - 15:20)</ref> |

The '''Disarming Charm''' (''Expelliarmus'') is a defensive [[charm]] that disarms an opponent, causing whatever is in the person's hand at the time, usually a [[wand]], to fly out of his or her hand. |
+ |
==Appearance== |
| − |
|
+ |
The Disarming Charm always appears as a jet of red light; indeed, this is one of the things that makes it recognisable before the effects of the charm are seen. |
| − |
It has been known to knock an opponent backwards in some cases, as well as disarming them. This may depend on whether the spell strikes an opponent's wand or body. |
+ |
==Effects== |
| − |
|
+ |
The Disarming Charm causes whatever an opponent is holding at the time - usually a wand - to fly high out of their reach; and can also be used to block spells, however, more enthusiastic casts can result in the victim of the charm being knocked unconscious in a similar manner to the Stunning Spell. If done too weakly, however, it will merely blow them back a few paces, or make their hair stand on end. If one mispronounces the spell's incantation as ''[[Expellimellius]]'', the victim's sleeves will be set aflame. |

The exact effects of the Disarming Charm vary. Sometimes, especially when aimed at the opponent's chest, the spell manifests itself as a "jet of red light", and knocks the victim backwards as well as disarming him or her. This is what happened to [[Viktor Krum]] in [[1995]] and [[Severus Snape]] in [[1993]]. On other occasions, the charm does not have a colour, and instead simply makes a [[wand]] fly from the victim's hand. When Severus Snape cast the spell on [[Gilderoy Lockhart]], it was shown as a scarlet ring surrounding the wand, with a streak of scarlet light heading towards Lockhart. It may be that the effects are dependant on what it hits - if it hits a wand, the wand is launched, and if it hits a person, the person is launched. |
|

When [[Cho Chang]] spoke the incantation incorrectly, ''[[Expellimellius]]'', it set her friend [[Marietta Edgecombe]]'s sleeve on fire. Sometimes when the spell is done weakly but not incorrectly it can make someones hair just stand on end or blow them back a few paces. When [[Harry Potter]], [[Ronald Weasley]], and [[Hermione Granger]] all hit [[Severus Snape]] with the spell at the exact same time, the force of it was enough to knock him out for at least an hour. |

Interestingly, this spell is one of the most effective way of swaying a wand's allegiance from its present owner to the one who disarmed it from them. |

==Use by Harry Potter== |

{{Quote|Expelliarmus is a useful spell, Harry, but the Death Eaters seem to think it is your signature move, and I urge you not to let it become so!|[[Remus Lupin]] discussing the [[Death Eaters]]' knowledge of [[Harry Potter]]'s signature spell|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}} |

Many people considered the Disarming Charm to be the signature spell of Harry Potter. Despite being taught it by Severus Snape, the teacher he despised the most until the events of 1997, Harry found it quite useful and utilised it often in direct confrontation with another wizard. He became highly proficient with it in [[1994]] when practicing for the [[Triwizard Tournament]]. At the end of the tournament, after he and [[Cedric Diggory]] were [[Portkey|transported]] to the graveyard in [[Little Hangleton]] and Cedric was murdered, Harry faced the newly-restored [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] in a [[duel]]. Voldemort used the [[Killing Curse]] and Harry used the Disarming Charm. Due to the natural brotherhood of [[Harry Potter's wand|Harry's wand]] and [[Tom Riddle's wand|Voldemort's wand]], both containing [[wand core|cores]] from the same source (that source being [[Fawkes]], [[Albus Dumbledore]]'s pet [[Phoenix]]), both duellers' spells proved ineffective, creating the rare ''[[Priori Incantatem]]'' effect which greatly contributed to Harry's subsequent escape.<ref name="GOF">''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''</ref> |
|
| − |
|
|
| − |
Many [[Death Eaters]] witnessed this, and took to believing that it was Harry's signature move. In the [[Battle of the Seven Potters]], they identified him as the real Harry Potter out of the "[[seven]] Potters" once he used the Disarming Charm against the Imperiused [[Stanley Shunpike|Stan Shunpike]]. [[Remus Lupin]] later chided Harry for using ''Expelliarmus'' in battle conditions, but Harry continued to value it; his argument being that hitting Stan with a stunning spell, as Lupin had suggested, could have ultimately killed him after falling from such a height. |

When Voldemort attacked Harry, his wand recognised Voldemort as an enemy, despite the fact that the Dark Lord was using [[Lucius Malfoy's wand]] instead of his own in order to avoid causing Priori Incantatem. Harry's wand shot "a spurt of golden fire" at Voldemort, destroying Lucius's wand and allowing Harry and [[Rubeus Hagrid]] to escape to safety..<ref name="DH">''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''</ref> In his final duel with Voldemort during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], Harry again used a Disarming Charm against Voldemort's Killing Curse, repeating the event of 1995 with the exception of [[Priori Incantatem]] taking place. |

==Priori Incantatem== |
| |
+ |
If two wands with the same core are forced to do battle with each other, the effect is a magical connection called [[Priori Incantatem]]. All three of the times Priori Incantatem occured between [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] and [[Harry Potter]], the latter was using the Disarming Charm. Indeed, in the final fight between Voldemort and Harry it was the Disarming Charm that allowed Harry to win. |
| |
==Etymology== |
|
==Etymology== |
| − |
The former half of the word "expelli-" bears resemblance to the Latin "expello" meaning "I drive away, eject or expel" or " to remove or repudiate" (though it may simply derive from the English "I expel" also). The latter half "-armus" is derived from "arma", a Latin word meaning "weapon" where the English word "army" comes from. Therefore, "Expelliarmus" mean "I remove your weapon [from your hand]. |
+ |
English ''expel'', meaning "remove" and Latin ''arma'', meaning "weapon" or "the weapon". |

* In the [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]] episode '[[Wikipedia:The Shakespeare Code|The Shakespeare Code]]', the spell is mentioned in connection to the Harry Potter books, with the Doctor stating "good ol' [[J. K. Rowling|JK]]" after Shakespeare uses the word Expelliarmus to conclude a 'magical' formula to banish the episode's villans, the Carrionites, from Earth. |

* ''Expelliarmus'' has a surprising (possibly the highest) number of conflicting portrayals across the Harry Potter video game adaptations. In ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', ''Expelliarmus'' conjures a shield, identical in its effects to the books' ''[[Shield Charm|Protego]]'' (used to repel the opponent's attacks), and does not physically "disarm" the opponent at all, though it is still called the "Disarming Charm". In ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', ''Expelliarmus'' was used to finish (disarm) opponents. It doesn't appear in ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (video game)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'', and in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' it is only seen in a cutscene and as part of [[Priori Incantatem]]. In the ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (video game)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'' video game, it appears as a projectile cloud of blue and violet energy which blasts the victim off their feet, but does not send their wand flying. In [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (video game)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1]] it acts somewhat like ''[[Stunning Spell|Stupefy]]'', knocking the foe to the ground with a burst of golden light for a short period of time. In [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2]], it does not inflict damage (unlike in Part 1), but it breaks an enemy's Protego. |
+ |
*This is the signature spell of Harry Potter. |
| − |
* In the film series, ''Expelliarmus'' is used many times. Snape uses it first in [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]] in the Duelling Club, blasting Gilderoy Lockhart through the air without actually disarming him which appears as a light golden light. In ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', it regains its official effects, used many times to simply knock the wand from the target's hand which is a blue light that does not physically assaulting the target, except for when used by Harry against Snape, though this could be attributed to Harry using Hermione's wand at the time, an act which can have unpredictable effects for any wizard. |
+ |
*When [[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] used this on [[Severus Snape|Snape]], it appeared as white lightning, and hence was probably a variation of it rather than the spell itself, or else an entirely different disarming spell. |
| − |
* Upon meeting with Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore used a [[Lightning disarming spell|possible variation]] of the Disarming Charm, which seemed to be a much faster version of the charm. |
+ |
*The [[charm]] is described in ''[[The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2]]'', and has [[Expelliarmus spellbook|a spellbook]] purely for itself. |
| − |
* In [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]], the text incorrectly uses the word ''Disarmed'' with a capital 'D' in referring to Ron's non-magical grappling of [[Peter Pettigrew]]'s wand from the latter's grasp at [[Malfoy Manor]]: ''The silver tool that Voldemort had given his most cowardly servant had turned upon its Disarmed and useless owner...'' (chapter 23). Like other spells and incantations, ''Disarming'' is normally capitalised in the books. This error possibly occurred as a result of over-enthusiastic application of this style by the [[J. K. Rowling|author]] or [[Bloomsbury|publisher]] during the copy-editing process. |
+ |
*In the second film, it appears as a golden ring; from the fifth film onward it was a ball of blue light. |
| − |
*Though no mention of a particular hand motion is mentioned in the books, in the films, the caster often twirls his or her wand in a tight spiral motion. |
+ |
*In the video games, the Disarming Charm worked rather like a Shield Charm, rebounding an opponent's spells upon them. |
| − |
*A [[Expelliarmus spellbook|spellbook]] for this spell could be found behind a portait in [[Hogwarts Castle|Hogwarts]]. |
+ |
*The Disarming Charm is mentioned on [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]], when Shakespeare uses it to conclude a formula used to banish the villains from earth. |
| − |
*According to ''[[Pottermore]]'', the hand motion is thus:<br/>[[File:Disarming-charm.png]]<br/>In ''Wonderbook'', the hand movement is a sharp slash to the right. |
