The lovely writer behind Ali Caitrin â self-confessed cat lady and tea lover â lists a total of 5 spells she wishes were real, in honour of the wonderful Harry Potter Book Night. Check it out:
The Harry Potter Book Night has finally arrived and what better way to celebrate it than to talk about all the spells we want to become a reality â we can dream right? Well here at MP! we want to help you get into the magical spirit so get your wands at the ready and find out if your favourite spell appears on our list!
Accio
Remember that time you couldnât find your keys, or your phone, or anything else that you needed? Weâve all been there! It would make our lives a lot easier and save plenty of time if the things we wanted could just come to us, your feet wouldnât even need to touch the ground.
Episkey
Ouch that must have hurt! Donât worry whether youâve got a stinging papercut or a broken nose, itâll all be fixed with a flick of a wand. Just remember it only heals minor injuries so try not to get yourself into too much trouble.
Muffliato
Certain conversations are best kept secret but it can be hard to keep anything quiet nowadays. Make sure those nosy neighbours and friends of yours are listening to something else other than what youâre saying and before you know it you can waffle on without a care in the world. Only if it was that simple!
Portus
When you need to get somewhere in a hurry, most of the time muggle transport isnât always the quickest route.Instead imagine only needing touch an old boot to get transported to wherever you want. If itâs good enough for Harry then itâs good enough for us!
Reparo
Last but not least if youâre accident-prone and tend to break things without even trying then this will come in handy more times than youâd probably like to admit. You can pretend that horrible accident never even happened, you can keep it as your little secret!
