The 8 Most Powerful OFFENSIVE Spells in Harry Potter (RANKED)

[@harryc657]

Ministry of Magic: a spell that kills people? Any wizard who cast this spell will never be forgiven! (Someone casted a spell that summoned a giant fire demon capable of incinerating a country) Ministry of Magic: This is fine.

[@lucario2able]

But the unforgivable curses are made by intent to harm or kill ot control. You have to be a sicko to cast them really. Also Protego Diabolica is suppose to be a protective spell but Grindlewald weaponized it maybe unlocking another part to the spell nobody knew existed. Plus nobody uses it so it could be banned but not unforgivable.

[@Kartemest]

Maybe only Grindelwald can cast it... it's like a nuclear weapon, sure it's illegal, but that's not a frequently applied law :D

[@Luffy61C4]

In this very case i think i'd agree when you see that threat, i think this kind of defense can be used, but ONLY to deal with that kind of threat, that are that dangerous

[@MariaM-dz9gz]

I think the killing curse is worse for the ministry because there supposedly isn’t a “shield charm” that can stop it. While other charms (like fyendfire) can be deflected, the only way to stop the unforgivable is by using a hard surface to protect yourself (I think this is more clear when you read about the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in Order of the Phoenix). The only reason why Harry can stop it multiple times with a charm when he confronts Voldemort is because they have “twined wands” or during the final battle because Harry owns the elder wand.

[@Aspartem]

@@MariaM-dz9gz I mean... you can't really stop a gun either. Sure, nowadays Kevlar etc. is getting better, but historically you just die if you get shot by a gun. Aveda is nothing more than shooting someone, I'd argue a gun would be more effective, since all the jinxes are so slow other people can simply dodge or deflect them. Ya can't dodge a bullet. They should've just shot Voldi and be done with it.

Gellert Grindelwald is clearly more powerful than Voldemort. The things we see him do are incredible. The main reason why I think Voldemort is often seen as more powerful is that Grindelwald had humanity, something Tom was seriously lacking. The control Grindelwald has is however much greater, and that is what makes him more powerful.

[@snehshah4973]

Hey Harry Potter Theory, can you make a video on Antonin Dolofov and the purple spell produces from his wand? I have been interested in that for a while. Also thanks for the great videos and quality content. It is all very entertaining!

[@Heisenburga]

Teakr yeah, I wonder what the incantation is

[@nocturne311]

The name of the incantation isn't known but I can attempt to break down what it does for you. So, during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Dolohov casts said spell on Hermione. It didn't produce any visible external injuries, suggesting that it instead causes significant internal damage. Hermione, upon assessing the spell, notes that had she not silenced Dolohov prior to his casting it and had he spoken the incantation as well, she most likely would have died. In order to recover from it, she was apparently taking ten different types of potions per day for a while. Dolohov used the spell one other time during said battle - this time against Harry except Harry actually managed to partially mitigate its effects due to conjuring a shield charm right before it made contact. Harry described what the spells effects felt like, stating that even though he partially dulled it with his shield charm it felt like a blunt knife moving across his face, suggesting once again that it produces some sort of concussive force. It also knocked him off his feet. The only other reference we have to this spell is that Dolohov may have used it to kill Lupin during the Battle of Hogwarts as Lupin's body showed no signs of trauma and he died with a peaceful expression on his face, but that hasn't been confirmed. Anyways, I hope that I helped to shed at least a bit of light on this and said even one thing that y'all weren't familiar with in relation to Dolohov's curse. I hope you have a good day as well.

[@Dentom1987]

I think its actually somewhat like Avada Kedavra. Where Avada Kedavra seems to target the soul and cannot be blocked , it seems this curse targets the internal organs but can be blocked.

Protego Diabolica is an extremely enhanced version of Fiendfyre, Gellert Grindelwald managed to tame the beasts of the flame and used them to form a circular structure of flames and you can see in Crimes of Grindelwald in the hard cam shots, that the flames sometimes take shape as a loosely shaped dragon and/or serpents. Such a powerful form of magic, as it acts as a defensive spell while it also can be used as a dangerous offensive spell. It really is just an amazing example of how powerful Grindelwald was, as Voldemort was able to control his Fiendfyre, and made it take the shape of a gigantic snake that does his bidding. But Grindelwald used this as a shield and also a weapon, allowing people that he chooses to safely pass through the flames unscathed. THAT, says more than words can describe just how powerful Grindelwald was.

[@niktniewiem4785]

I think that sectumsempra is the most potent dueling spell ever created. The only reason mighty mages like Dumbledore and Voldemort didn't use it is because Snape hide it and never used it because he himself was scared of how harmfull it is. First of all this is a spell invented by a master of dark arts, potions, incantations etc. Second, no one knows how to protect from it, third, it is seemingly easy to use, so imagine almost anyone being able to use it if they got mad at someone.... the world would turn into chaos. All the other spells here are surely powerfull, but they require vast knowledge and unrivaled power to use them, but sectumsempra has the power to change the shape of the wizarding world. Imagine someone like Voldemort perfecting this spell to be able to use it on multiple enemies at once, dropping them bleeding on the floor in a split second, without them being even aware of how to protect from it.

[@cheesymeatball174]

sectumsempra could probably kill instantly if you aim it well enough and master the spell

[@TAGfrost]

The last one sounded like Amaterasu from Naruto. "Amaterasu produces black flames at the focal point of the user's vision. In most situations, this makes Amaterasu impossible to avoid. However, if the target can move fast enough to prevent being focused on, Amaterasu will miss them when it's cast. Once created, it can continue burning for seven days and seven nights. The flames cannot be extinguished with water or any other normal methods; (usually) only the user can put the flames out. Said to be "the fires from hell" and to burn as hot as the sun itself, Amaterasu burns any material - other flames included - until nothing but ash remains."

[@AnnaInWonderTube]

One of the presumable meanings, of "Abra cadabra" and the most logical one to me as a hebrew speaker comes from Aramaic (an ancient language that greatly affected modern day hebrew) . It means: "let it become/be created as said". Pure and simple. אברא כדברא The process of words becoming reality just like the creation of the world, began with a word. And the spell "avada cadabra" also demonstrates a hebrew/Aramaic origin: ""avad"= lost, doomed, meaning "doomed as said".

[@theinfamouspineapple5852]

Voldemort about to kill Harry: Avada Kedav- Hermione Granger: No NO stop it you're saying it WRONG

[@that_swag_blonde6642]

Haha that is hilarious Hermione be like it’s Avada kedavra not kedavrA

[@31_daffafauzana74]

Number 1 is "Winggardiumm Leviooouuussaaaa" when hermione kill the troll

[@SMD2005]

If u are referring first movie then Ron used that spell on troll and it just knocked him off

[@kingscrub3386]

Whenever I see the picture of Grindelwald at 10:12, I always think of a parakeet lol

[@George_Bland]

What about the one credence uses at the end of crimes of Grindelwald where he blows up a mountain?

[@yiocho220]

Wasn't it pure emotion and power Credence used for the spell? I don't remember him using a incantation when he cast it

[@balkanedukacija1628]

He doesn't use any spell. He can't. He channel his power through the wand. Instead of becoming huge unshaped monster, this way he can focus his power.

[@LPFariy]

It does make sense that after a single target spell ( the killing curse) AoE Spells seem to be more destructiv.

[@namansharma332]

Fun fact: Grindewald can cast crucio better than any wizard in the world.

[@spi6455]

Fact: The strength of the wizard is determined by the CGI budget and current technology available.

[@29885155]

Harry Potter is the best movie and books

[@ravenwhite6843]

@SPstorm:) No the films are average totally disregarded the books.

[@shuvamacharya8001]

@Darth Kenobi agreed

[@shuvamacharya8001]

@Darth Kenobi but I'll consider both as canon but different ones....... And obviously books are the best

[@Слышьты-ф4ю]

8. Anti-building grenade that doesn't hurt the user 7. One-target nerve gas 6. Barbed blades that need specific wound treatment 5. Assault rifle 4. One-target HEAT missile 3. Liquid flamethrower 2. Drop of supernapalm 1. Same but no friendly fire

[@baileygarner6081]

Anyone whose played Hogwarts Mystery knows Depulso needs to be on this list🤣

[@AD-kt5ui]

And flipendo

[@dennisbeers]

I am enjoying your videos. So glad I subscribed!

[@fighterphoenix5789]

I believe sectumsempra has some very narrow conditions for it to work. 1 you can only use it on a personal enemy ( like Snape saw James, or Harry saw Malvoy) . 2 the desire and willingness for a more draconic for of justice and punishment.

[@leomendelsohn2622]

cqan u make a video on the top 15 or 20 or 10 most powerful wands pls pls pls

[@pixelzz8851]

Video idea: What if draco hit Harry with a hex/spell in the bathroom

[@taurauross9576]

Then Snape would have to save Harry for two totally different reasons..one is that Snape's true loyalty is with team harry..the other is that dumbledore told Snape that its important that Harry was to be killed by voldy..an extra one a bonus one is that voldy informed his followers that Harry was his to kill.

[@cantspeal]

The only reason I think snaps saved Malloy in the bathroom was because he did the unbreakable vowel or whatever it is

[@yannis7750]

6:52 from what i've read , abracadabra in Hebrew means "I will create as I speak", or in Aramaic "I create like the word"

[@DarthNash6]

"Bombarda Maxima" definitely sounds more like an anime attack than a Harry Potter spell

[@elizabethfielder574]

It's only seen in the movies, and they aren't canon.

[@slaygoblins]

avada kedavra cant be blocked by magic. you could easily shoot it through the others and kill the user before you are harmed. it also can potentially kill anyone regardless of the power of the target. i get why you wouldnt want to put it at #1 though.

[@theredstoneminecartsebtrm9258]

How come Avada Kedavra is only #4

[@maksimilian528]

It can’t do damage on a large scale like protego diabolica for example

[@anghainguyen9951]

The spell only stroong as a normal gun while could not be fast as shooting bullet

[@yeen.7209]

@@anghainguyen9951 the killing curse can kill instantly, unconditionally without fail, no matter how little of it or no matter where it touches you, and it can't be blocked unless you are being blocked by someone else, or something inorganic. on the other hand, lots of people have survived gunshot wounds, while there has only been *one* person to survive the curse ever.

[@rossbroomfield5199]

I would say the killing curse is the most powerful spell with maybe the exception of protego diabolica (pd). pd maybe has more potential but it can be stopped. Nothing can stop avada kedavra (ak) save for sacrificial love (which means someone is going to die either way) or being an absolute boss like book dumbledore and moving things in the way!

[@sape616_]

2:27 i think a kick to the nuts is worse

[@Gamepainter]

AK is definitely the most sparing unforgivable curse, its instant, and any other unforgivable curse can kill in worse way. Imagine getting hit in a duel by the cruciatus curse, one would be stunned until they lost their mind or overcame it, just in time to be hit by imperius and told to accept the pain from crucio, or just straight up told to murder their family. I can think of many reasons AK is the least evil of the 3. Still makes sense that the death eaters spam AK in group fights as well

[@cheesymeatball174]

I'd rather be killed instantly by avada kedavra than to be burned alive by something like confringo, or cut to death by sectumsempra. there are definitely non-unforgivable spells that are even worse than avada kedavra, since they kill in a more painful manner.

[@turtleretward1860]

I like how a simple disarming spell is able to repell a killing curse

[@OmarMarrufo-ch7vd]

No, only harrys when faced against Voldemort.

[@vario6492]

I actually thought of Bombarda Maxima before the list started :o nailed it lol

[@Insanityltself]

No its *NYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

[@jimmcneal5292]

Theoretically reducto can be quite dangerous

[@anghuyphamnguyen3096]

I think protego diabolica is more of a defensive spell, because it was meant to protect the user

[@royalheadquarters8449]

I'd like to see it like this: Voldemort is a nuke, as powerful as they get, blasting through everyone standing in his way like its nothing- without the thinking. All mass murder and intimidation. Grindelwald, in my eyes, is very calculating. More like some perfectly planned bombs throughout the enemy base, can do more with less power because he uses it so effectively.

[@kingdavid6286]

Hello if you see this I want to remind you you mean something to the world. You can do something special today. Remember you were put on this earth for a reason. You can be great, but always remember someone cares about you.

[@drdoombo984]

King David but for what reason? Finding that out is hard

[@hvip4]

I was surprised seeing kedavra at #4 but you have made your case

[@dab5577]

I am the 15th human to watch this video

[@Cellia836]

I wish J.K Rolling would write a book, where she goes into more detail about Harry's Parents and their friends, when they where in school, before Harry's time. I think that would be interesting to see, how they came to be. I wonder if she will ever do that or not?

[@tonyparrish5566]

2 ideas for spells. Kadavra Maxima: kills everything in the vicinity, caster is not immune. 2nd I have no name for. It should be a "good" alternative to crucio. It inflicts pain and suffering only equal to that that the target has intentionally inflicted on others. Incantation might use words for "pain" and "judgment".

[@azalyis1979]

i have been watching these kind of videos and have always been thinking of protego diabolica for each top pick and this is the first one ive seen

[@applejohn7264]

“Abra Kadabra” origin is Hebrew (well Aramaic to be more precise) which translate to: I’ll speak and it will be created/happen” !!

[@darrenprestney7009]

please make a video about the names of these spells I am subscribed and also I do mostly agree with you about magic

[@prajjwaltiwari8644]

"I'm gonna put some expelliarmus in your eyes". - Harry Potter in the multiverse of sadness. 👺

[@MoreThan7Digits]

1: Protego Diabolica 2: Fiendfyre 3: Whatever Molly Weasley did do Bellatrix Lestrange 4: The appearing spell (the one that appears things(you can just appear a giant ring of destruction)so that one) 5: fire lasso 6: Avada Kedabra 7: The curse on the gaunt ring 8: Crucio

[@jonathanrodriguez8589]

The spell that the group used to protect Paris from the Protego Diabolica spell is Finite, which looks very similar to the spell that Dumbledore used against the inferi, could Dumbledore have used the same spell? Also, a theory of mine is that Protego Diabolica was the spell Snape used in the Philosopher's Stone as one of the challenges to gaining the stone. If you recall from the books, the fires were purple and black and only a specific potion could be used to be able to cross them. Could both spells from the Fantastic Beasts series have been used in the Harry Potter series?

[@ParsiaBasimfafr]

Kadavra, can also come from the french "cadavre" and english adapted words cadaver meaning corpse

[@matorix003]

Arvada Kedavra can’t be blocked effectively? Harry blocks it all the time tho, so does Dumbledor and a bunch of Aurors

[@MbuleloMacLoudKatise]

So essentially, Grindelwald uses Protego (a defensive spell) with a fire storm and fiendfyre to create a defensive and offensive combination in Protego Diabolica...what a G 🔥
