A '''duel''' is a confrontation between two or more [[Wizardkind|wizards or witches]]. The combatants face each other, bow, and then attempt to disarm, injure, or kill each other in order to force submission, and thus a winner is decided. Opponents are only permitted to use [[magic]]al means of combat.
 
  +
 
'''Duelling''' was a practice in [[wizarding world|wizarding]] culture in which two or more [[Wizardkind|wizards or witches]] engaged each other in combat under the condition that only [[magic]]al means could be used. The combatants faced each other, bowed, and then attempted to disarm, stun, injure, defeat, or kill each other in order to force submission, and thus a winner was decided.

There are rules and customs that define how a proper duel is performed and that are normally known to wizards and witches born to magical families, even at a young age. [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]], for instance, told [[Harry Potter]] some of the rules of duelling as a [[first year]] student at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] after Harry was challenged to a duel by [[Draco Malfoy]] in [[1991]]. In the [[1992–1993 school year]] [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] formed the duelling club, in which duelling strips were used in a system similar to that of modern fencing.<ref name="PS">''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]''</ref>.

In a formal duel, one wizard or witch challenges another, although it is implied that duels are not commonplace in modern polite society. If the other person accepts, they then arrange a meeting time and place for the duel. Draco challenged Harry this way in their first year, though it was really an attempt to get Harry into trouble for being out of his dormitories after curfew<ref name="PS9">''Philosopher's Stone'', Ch. 9</ref>. Opponents bow to one another before beginning to fight, as [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] reminded [[Harry Potter]] before their [[Return of the Dark Lord|duel]] in the graveyard of [[Little Hangleton]] in [[1995]].<ref name="GOF">''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''</ref> Lockhart has gone as far as twirling his hands while bowing, possibly trying to make himself look more gentlemanly. However, duellists who do not respect their opponents do not usually bow correctly, as Snape simply jerked his head, while Harry, [[Draco Malfoy]], and Voldemort barely bent their heads at all.

Duellists will often have a "[[second]]" in a formal duel — a person, usually a trusted ally, who will act as a replacement for one duellist if necessary. [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] volunteered to be Harry's second in the aforementioned planned duel with Draco, who chose [[Vincent Crabbe]].<ref name="PS"/>

There is a standard rule in duels that only [[magic]]al means may be used to fight an opponent, and that there is to be no physical contact between the duellists<ref name="PS9"/>. [[Millicent Bulstrode]] broke this rule when she duelled [[Hermione Granger]] in [[1992]] in the [[Duelling Club]]; the much larger girl ended up wrestling Hermione to the ground and holding her in a headlock.<ref name="CS">''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''</ref>

The parties of a duel might also agree to other limits, unless planning to duel to the death, which is only common practice in a war. [[Minerva McGonagall]], for example, informed fellow professor [[Horace Slughorn]] just before the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] that if any [[Slytherin]] attempted to sabotage their defence efforts or to fight them, they would "duel to kill", which alarmed him<ref name="DH">''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''</ref>. This may indicate that duellists generally agree not to use particularly dangerous and/or illegal spells, such as the [[Unforgivable Curses]].

Duels can also be used for training purposes, as was the case in [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] in [[1992]], when [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] founded the short-lived [[Duelling Club]]. Its function was to teach students self-defence while "[[Slytherin's Basilisk|Slytherin's Monster]]" was on the loose. The club did not last long, as Professor Lockhart was incompetent.<ref name="CS"/>

Duel in ministry

Dumbledore duelling Voldemort during the famous Duel in the Ministry Atrium.

"I'd take you on any time on my own. Tonight, if you want. Wizard's duel. Wands only — no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a wizard's duel before, I suppose?"
Draco Malfoy challenging Harry Potter to a duel in 1991[src]

Duelling was a practice in wizarding culture in which two or more wizards or witches engaged each other in combat under the condition that only magical means could be used. The combatants faced each other, bowed, and then attempted to disarm, stun, injure, defeat, or kill each other in order to force submission, and thus a winner was decided.

Rules

Duel harry draco

Duelling Club at Hogwarts in 1992

There are rules and customs that define how a proper duel is performed and that are normally known to wizards and witches born to magical families, even at a young age. Ron Weasley, for instance, told Harry Potter some of the rules of duelling as a first year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after Harry was challenged to a duel by Draco Malfoy in 1991. In the 1992–1993 school year Gilderoy Lockhart formed the duelling club, in which duelling strips were used in a system similar to that of modern fencing.[1]

The challenge

"You have been taught how to duel Harry Potter? We bow to each other, Harry. Come, the niceties must be observed… Dumbledore would like you to show manners… Bow to death, Harry… I said, bow."
Lord Voldemort to Harry Potter in the graveyard of Little Hangleton[src]

In a formal duel, one wizard or witch challenges another, although it is implied that duels are not commonplace in modern polite society. If the other person accepts, they then arrange a meeting time and place for the duel. Draco challenged Harry this way in their first year, though it was really an attempt to get Harry into trouble for being out of his dormitories after curfew.[2] Opponents bow to one another before beginning to fight, as Lord Voldemort reminded Harry Potter before their duel in the graveyard of Little Hangleton in 1995.[3] Lockhart has gone as far as twirling his hands while bowing, possibly trying to make himself look more gentlemanly. However, duellists who do not respect their opponents do not usually bow correctly, as Snape simply jerked his head, while Harry, Draco Malfoy, and Voldemort barely bent their heads at all.

Seconds

"Well, a second's there to take over if you die [...] "
Ron Weasley[src]

Duellists will often have a "second" in a formal duel — a person, usually a trusted ally, who will act as a replacement for one duellist if necessary. Ron Weasley volunteered to be Harry's second in the aforementioned planned duel with Draco, who chose Vincent Crabbe.[1]

Limits

Duel graveyard

Priori Incantatem initiated during the duel between Harry Potter and Voldemort in 1995

There is a standard rule in duels that only magical means may be used to fight an opponent, and that there is to be no physical contact between the duellists.[2] Millicent Bulstrode broke this rule when she duelled Hermione Granger in 1992 in the Duelling Club; the much larger girl ended up wrestling Hermione to the ground and holding her in a headlock.[4]

The parties of a duel might also agree to other limits, unless planning to duel to the death, which is only common practice in a war. Minerva McGonagall, for example, informed fellow professor Horace Slughorn just before the Battle of Hogwarts that if any Slytherin attempted to sabotage their defence efforts or to fight them, they would "duel to kill", which alarmed him.[5] This may indicate that duellists generally agree not to use particularly dangerous and/or illegal spells, such as the Unforgivable Curses.

Practice duels

Duels can also be used for training purposes, as was the case in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1992, when Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Gilderoy Lockhart founded the short-lived Duelling Club. Its function was to teach students self-defence while "Slytherin's Monster" was on the loose. The club did not last long, as Professor Lockhart was incompetent.[4]

Notable duels

Duellists Circumstances Outcome
Alberta Toothill vs. Samson Wiblin All-England Wizarding Duelling Competition in 1430 Alberta Toothill won the competition using a Blasting Curse.
Egbert the Egregious vs. Emeric the Evil Battle for the Elder Wand Egbert defeats Emeric and becomes the master of the Elder Wand. It should be noted that he was the only known wizard, apart from Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, to defeat the posessor of the Elder Wand in a duel.
Albus vs Aberforth Dumbledore vs. Gellert Grindelwald Albus and Grindelwald were going to expose the wizarding world and enslave muggles. Aberforth tried to stop them but Gellert was furious with him and tortured Aberforth. Albus protected his brother and a three-way Duel broke out (Duel at Godric's Hollow). By the end of the duel Ariana Dumbledore stepped in and was killed by a rogue spell. Gellert fled and the two brothers were left in ruins.
Albus Dumbledore vs. Gellert Grindelwald Arguably the greatest duel in history. Dumbledore confronted Grindelwald, a powerful Dark Wizard who possessed the Elder Wand and who was gaining power in the wizarding world, in 1945 (Duel between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald). Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, who was subsequently imprisoned in Nurmengard, in what witnesses described as the greatest duel ever fought.[1]
Girl who played Amata vs. Girl who played Asha Before a production of The Fountain of Fair Fortune the Boy who played Sir Luckless broke up with "Amata" and fell for "Asha" As the Ashwinder that portrayed the worm exploding in a spray of hot ash, "Amata" and "Asha" turned on each other and began duelling. Who won is unknown, as the hall was vacated.[6]
James Potter & Sirius Black vs. Severus Snape When Sirius Black was bored after an exam, James Potter then noticed Severus Snape outside and decided to bully Snape to lighten Sirius's mood, prompting Snape to get his wand out upon seeing them. Snape was disarmed by James and hit with a Scouring Charm when Lily Evans  came to his defense. However, Snape regained his wand and shot a misaimed Sectumsempra spell at James, resulting in James and Sirius together suspending Snape in mid-air and humiliating him further after he called Lily a mudblood in his frustration.

Gilderoy Lockhart vs. Severus Snape A demonstration for the Duelling Club in 1992. There was also small duels between Harry and Draco, Seamus Finnigan and Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom and Justin Finch-Fletchley, and Hermione Granger with Millicent Bulstrode. The outcomes of these duels were Harry getting knocked down but placing a Tickling Charm on Draco, Ron's broken wand had knocked Seamus over, Neville and Justin were lying on the ground beaten and Millicent had Hermione in a head lock and both their wands on the floor. Snape easily defeated Lockhart, who was made to look even clumsier than usual.[4]

Albus Dumbledore vs. Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Umbridge, John Dawlish,Percy Weasley, & Kingsley Shacklebolt In 1996 after Dumbledores Army got exposed to Umbridge, Dumbledore blamed himself for the organisation to protect Harry and Fudge ordered Dawlish and Kingsley to arrest Dumbledore. Dumbledore incapacitated Fudge, Umbridge, Dawlish, Percy and Kingsley despite the fact that Kingsley (Who was the only notably powerful one out of them) was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, as it would raise suspicion by Fudge. This allowed Dumbledore to escape from Hogwarts with Fawkes before they could recover.
