- —Professor Lockhart toHarry Potter[src]
TheVerdimillious Duo Spell (Verdimillious) was acharm that emitted green sparks from the tip of thewand. It was a more powerful version of theVerdimillious Charm. It held a number of useful purposes and was rather easy to cast.[1]
History[]
ProfessorQuirinus Quirrell taught thischarm to hisfirst-yearDefence Against the Dark Arts class in the1991–1992 school year along with theVerdimillious Charm andVerdimillious Tria.[3]ProfessorGilderoy Lockhart later revised it with hissecond-yearDefence Against the Dark Arts classthe next year.[1]
Effects[]
The Verdimillious Duo Spell created green sparks that had multiple uses. One such use was to do damage to an opponent, hence proving very useful induelling.[1][2]
These green sparks could also be used reveal objects hidden byDark Magic in a blinding flash of white light, thereby illuminating the entire room for a short time. Unlike its precursor, objects revealed by The Verdimillious Duo Spell remained tangible and visible even after the light faded. Nonetheless, green sparks would still be floating around the enchanted objects for a while after the light disappeared.[1]
