[[Giant]]s and [[dragon]]s have considerable spell resistance due to thick hides that repel all but the most concentrated and powerful spells, although they are still vulnerable to attacks on their eyes by spells such as the [[Conjunctivitis Curse]], possibly owing to the eyes being weak. This attribute is also share with [[Half-giant]]s, such as [[Rubeus Hagrid]], who was able to resist stunning in 1996, although to what extent [[Half-giant]]s can resist is unknown. [[Shield Hat]]s, [[Shield Cloak|Cloaks]], and [[Shield Gloves|Gloves]] also protect the wearer from minor to moderate [[hex]]es and [[jinx]]es, but would provide little defence against the [[Unforgivable Curses]]. |

Spell resistance is ability to shrug off or protect yourself from the main effects of a spell. Wizards and witches may have natural spell resistance such as Harry Potter's and Barty Crouch Jr.'s spell resistance of the Imperius Curse. Young witches and wizards may often lose control of their magical skills when they are under emotional strain. This may have a defensive use when in danger. Magical creatures and beings may also have a natural ability to resist spells such as Giants and Half-Giants.
Giants and dragons have considerable spell resistance due to thick hides that repel all but the most concentrated and powerful spells, although they are still vulnerable to attacks on their eyes by spells such as the Conjunctivitis Curse, possibly owing to the eyes being weak. This attribute is also share with Half-giants, such as Rubeus Hagrid, who was able to resist stunning in 1996, although to what extent Half-giants can resist is unknown. Shield Hats, Cloaks, and Gloves also protect the wearer from minor to moderate hexes and jinxes, but would provide little defence against the Unforgivable Curses.
It is doubtful whether all spells could be resisted by a person of wizard blood only, such as the Stunning Spell, or any number of hexes and jinxes. The spell Muggulus Reppellum would repel muggles away, but not wizards.
Magical Protection
If somebody willingly gave their life for another person or people they would be protected. This is called Sacrificial Protection .
Examples
- Lily Potter willing gave her life for her son Harry Potter so when Voldemort sent a Killing Curse at him it just rebounded and hit him.
- When Harry Potter gave his life during the battle of Hogwarts his friend Neville Longbottom should have died as Voldemort paralyzed him and set him on fire, but Harry Potter's magical protection let him break free of the spell and kill one of Voldemort's horcruxes.
