- "There are several ways to become a werewolf, they include […] being cursed by someone who you have wronged in some way — called Lycacomia Curse […]."
- — Arsenius Jigger, The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts[src]
The Lycacomia Curse (incantation unknown) was a curse used to induce lycanthropy.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- The Lycacomia curse has so far only appeared in A prop made for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with the bulk of what can be seen of the book's text being taken from the 1995 video game The Beast Within. As such, the Lycacomia curse cannot be considered canon in the Harry Potter universe, as it has been established that lycanthropy cannot be induced with spells, but only with cursed werewolf bites inflicted by werewolves themselves.
