The Informous Spell[1] (Informous) was a charm that added a page with information regarding the charmed creature to the caster's Folio Bruti.

Etymology

  • The prefix inform is English meaning "give someone facts or information"[2]; the suffix us is also English, and is "used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people as the object of a verb or preposition"[3].

Behind the scenes

  • The incantation can also be spelled "Informus", which better suits the etymology.
  • It is unknown whether a magnifying glass actually hovers over the target when the spell is cast, or if this is perhaps merely to show the effects of the spell better.
