Protective Enchantments are spells used to protect an area. The spells that are cast usually last a long time and shield specific places.

Casting EnchantmentsEdit

In order to protect a place, the caster has to repeat incantations of charms over and over. Popular Enchantments are: Protego Totalum, Salvio Hexia, Repello Inimigotum, Protego Maxima etc. When two or more wizards cast enchantments, the spell collide over the protected area.

Known UsesEdit

• Enchantments are put over many places such as Gringotts, Hogwarts, The Burrow etc.

• • The Dome Effect that happens when people casts Priori Incantatem, as Voldemort and Harry Potter did in 1994.
  • The Fidelius Charm that is cast over houses owned by Order of the Phoenix.
  • The lots of enchantments cast over The Burrow, including the Fidelius, in order to hold William Weasley's and Fleur Delacour's wedding.
  • Hermione Granger cast Protego Totalum, Salvio Hexia, Repello Muggletum, Muffliato, Cave Inimicum, and the Disillusionment Charm in 1997 over her tent site (along with Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter).

Behind the scenesEdit

In the video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the Dome Effect that happened during Priori Incantatem is not seen. Instead Voldemort uses the spell to distract Harry while his living skeletons and his paternal family's grave attacks him.
