Harry Potter 10 Spells Voldemort Technically Knows (But Never Uses)

Harry Potter: 10 Spells Voldemort Technically Knows (But Never Uses)

Lord Voldemort is the greatest Dark Wizard in Harry Potter, and by using incantations almost exclusively, there’s plenty of spells he never uses.

As the greatest Dark Wizard of all time, Harry Potter’s Lord Voldemort performs feats of magic beyond most people’s imagination, even those who’ve dedicated their lives to the arcane arts. His student years at Hogwarts prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Tom Riddle would eventually make a name for himself in the Wizarding World, although few expect him to go down such a sinister path.

Lord Voldemort prefers using dark spells and incantations almost exclusively, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of other varieties of magic, only that he sees no value in simplistic spellwork.

10 Wingardium Leviosa Is Great For First-Years, But Voldemort Can Literally Fly

The Levitation Charm, more popularly known as Wingardium Leviosa, is a basic spell taught in Charms class to first years at Hogwarts. It is extremely simple in both performance and application: the only rule is that the user needs to pronounce it properly.

There is no doubt that Tom Riddle learned Wingardium Leviosa at some point, but he never casts it during the Harry Potter films. Besides, he can literally fly, so the Levitation Charm is far below his level anyway.

9 Impedimenta Is A Bit Too Simplistic For Lord Voldemort

Impedimenta is categorized as a jinx, a type of spell that can cause either positive or negative outcomes depending on the caster’s intention.

It is particularly helpful during dueling matches, as it reduces the opponent’s speed and flexibility of motion without actually harming them. Several witches and wizards have used Impedimenta, including Lucius Malfoy and Harry Potter, but Lord Voldemort isn’t among them.

8 Reducto Sounds Like Something The Dark Lord Would Use (He Doesn’t)

The Reductor Curse allows the caster to atomize their targets, so long as they aren’t protected by any enchantments. Miranda Goshawk warns her readers that “great care must be exercised when learning and practicing this spell,” as it can go very wrong very quickly.

Although Reducto sounds like magic that Voldemort would be into, given its destructive potential and havoc-generating properties, the Dark Lord doesn’t resort to the curse even once.

7 Confundo Causes Confusion, But Voldemort Would Rather Cause Pain

The Confundus Charm (incantation: Confundo) is an overwhelmingly powerful spell that forces the target’s mind into a flurry of disorientation and bewilderment. Inexperienced casters are as capable of employing this spell as the most powerful witches, but with greatly differing results.

Barty Crouch Jr. manages to “confound” the Goblet of Fire, an extremely impressive feat considering the magical properties embedded in the item. Lord Voldemort certainly has enough understanding of charms to cast Confundo, but he’d rather cause pain than confusion.

6 Oppugno Is An Indirect Method Of Offense That Voldemort Would Never Abide

Lord Voldemort’s pride in his magical potential is so great that he refuses to fight his opponents indirectly. In other words, he would never use a jinx like Oppugno, which manipulates nearby objects into attacking a pinpointed target.

Hermione, on the other hand, smartly combines Oppugno with Avis, the Bird-Conjuring Charm, to hurl a “flock of birds like a hail of fat golden bullets” at Ron. This particular jinx is especially effective in satisfying the user’s petty vengeance.

5 Lumos Conflicts With The Dark Lord’s Preference For Dank, Dingy Spaces

Lumos, the Wand-Lighting Charm, is a compulsory part of Hogwarts education. As such, it can be assumed that Voldemort is aware of its existence. Then again, the Dark Lord’s natural habitat includes dingy mansions, dimly-lit caverns, and dusty shacks, so a light-producing spell is counterintuitive to his desires.

It’s possible that Voldemort’s snake-eyes grant him superior nocturnal vision, much like serpents in the real world, making Lumos practically worthless from every perspective.

4 Colloportus Is Meaningless When Voldemort Is The Most Dangerous Person In Any Given Room

Alohomora’s sister spell, Colloportus, is used to lock unlocked doors, thereby hindering anyone trying to manually open them. Many characters in Harry Potter have been shown casting this spell, such as Dumbledore’s Army, Severus Snape, and the Minister for Magic.

In fact, Voldemort’s daughter, Delphini, uses Colloportus during the St. Jerome’s Church battle in The Cursed Child. Voldemort chooses not to cast the spell, though, perhaps because nobody ever tries to break into a room that has the Dark Lord in it.

3 Expecto Patronum Cannot Be Cast By Dark Wizards

The Patronus Charm is explicitly forbidden to users of dark magic – it is suggested that “evil” wizards who cast the spell are likely to be consumed by a swarm of maggots.

Expecto Patronum becomes one of Harry’s favorite charms, and many students at Hogwarts are able to manifest a version of their Patronus by their seventh year. Lord Voldemort would never dream of using the Patronus Charm for any reason because its brightness and purity clash with his macabre sensibilities.

2 Tarantallegra Is Far Too Funny And Frivolous For The Dark Lord

Tarantallegra results in a rather amusing effect when it strikes the intended target. It is referred to as the Dancing Feet Spell, and is (presumably) named after the Italian folk dance, Tarantella.

The most memorable use of Tarantallegra occurs during Draco Malfoy’s mock duel with Harry Potter, but Albus Dumbledore and Antonin Dolohov are also known practitioners. Lord Voldemort enjoys shaming his victims, but not with spells as frivolous as Tarantallegra.

1 The Fidelius Charm Requires Lord Voldemort To Spill His Secrets

The Fidelius Charm is one of the most powerful spells in the Wizarding World, not to mention one of the earliest in recorded history. The convoluted process of casting this spell requires intense concentration and skill. However, if successful, the secret that needs keeping is forever ensconced within the soul of a single person, the Secret Keeper.

The Fidelius Charm is particularly advantageous in maintaining the secrecy of large groups, a concept that’s alien to Lord Voldemort as he doesn’t share anything with anyone, even his devoted followers.
