Aunt Marge[]

Could this be what happened to Aunt Marge? —C Teng 23:39, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I do believe that this is the charm Mr. Potter used on his Aunt Margery 99.246.206.192 19:43, August 23, 2011 (UTC)Wiki Contributor

This jinx's usage on Aunt Marge is only speculation, as there is no exact canon proof which says this was the spell used to inflate Marge. Therefore, this information is only covered in Behind the scenes.RedWizard98 (talk) 12:53, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Spell type[]

This spell is never called the "Inflating Charm" in a canon source. Whoever said that it is, is mistaken. In the Goblet of Fire video game, its incantation is only given and it is identified as a jinx. This article needs to correctly renamed but I have found myself unable to do so, due to old re-directs. Could somebody who can fix this? Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 04:04, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I have managed the title to a barely acceptable name, but it still needs officially fixing. RedWizard98 (talk) 04:17, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Is it actually identified with the official name 'Inflatus Jinx' in the video game? -  MrSiriusBlack  Talk  11:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I looked into it and I don't think it was ever an official name, so "jinx" would need be kept in the lower case if so. Inflatus was just identified to be kind of a jinx. - Kates39 (talk) 12:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
My thoughts exactly. -  MrSiriusBlack  Talk  12:17, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I think that applies to all the other jinxes from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game), such as Orbins/Pullus/Ducklifors.RedWizard98 (talk) 18:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

In fact, I would remove the "jinx" from this article's title and have it simply be "Inflatus", as that is the only official name it is given.RedWizard98 (talk) 18:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Agreed. Rodolphus (talk) 18:19, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I do too. It could be worth going through jinxes too and checking for their official name. Others could need to be changed too. - Kates39 (talk) 18:25, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Well this spell certainly needs to be renamed as simply "Inflatus", because of this realisation. I myself can't do it, due to old re-directs. RedWizard98 (talk) 19:30, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
