Jiggery Pokery was one of three spells that Harry Potter uttered the incantations of to scare off his Muggle cousin, Dudley Dursley, in 1992. He claimed that they could set a hedge on fire.

EtymologyEdit

Jiggery-pokery is a British term meaning "underhand or deceitful behaviour".

Behind the scenesEdit

• While Harry seemed to be merely making up nonsense spells, the appearance of the spell in the title Jiggery Pokery and Hocus Pocus, described as containing "mischief-making spells," suggests that it could in fact be a real spell.^[1]

AppearancesEdit

• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (First appearance)
• Pottermore (In book title)
