The Lumos spellbook was a book containing information on, and instructions of how to perform, the Wand-Lighting Charm.[1][2]
Behind the scenes[]
- "The Ministry for Magic is conducting more raids, and I have a few more - ah - items like this at home, that might embarrass me."
- — Lucius Malfoy describing the supposedly dangerous contents within this book[src]
- "Wow, the Lumos spell! Maybe I could use this to find my way out."
- — Harry Potter upon finding the book[src]
- In the console versions of the Chamber of Secrets video game, Lucius Malfoy implied that this book contained ethically questionable Dark magic, and therefore wanted to sell this to Mr Borgin to avoid Ministry persecution or accusations, but in reality the Wand-Lighting Charm is a common and very safe spell to use, and is not a dark charm in any measure. In the game, Harry Potter (the player) must retrieve the book from the Hand of Glory in order to learn the charm and exit the shop.[2]
- In the console versions of the Philosopher's Stone video game, Professor Quirrell tasks Harry Potter (the player) with collecting this spellbook from a spell challenge in a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.[1]
- During the 2010s, a Calamity Investigator read "a book exclusively centred on casting the single spell - Lumos" in order to help improve their chances of returning Foundables from Traces during the Calamity.[3] It is likely that this book was the Lumos spellbook.
