Hagrid told Jacob's sibling to use a Fire-Breathing Potion to safely rescue the dog. ![]() 1985–1986 school year įang ended up in the same room as a Devil's Snare. The plant attacked and the student was able to briefly hold it off with the Wand-Lighting Charm while calling for help. Merula was jealous over the praise the student had received in their initial classes and angry that they had stopped her from bullying Ben Copper. Later in the year, she tricked Jacob's sibling into entering the storeroom under the belief they were getting Pickled Slugs for Professor Severus Snape, in order to recover lost house points. In 1984, Merula Snyde was shown a Devil's Snare in a storehouse by fourth-year Slytherin students shortly after her arrival. Some fourth-year Slytherins showed it to me when I first arrived." - Jacob's sibling trapped with Devil's Snare Jacob's sibling: " What is that thing?!" Merula Snyde: " A deadly plant called Devil's Snare. It would stop its movement in the environment in front of bright light and would recoil away from the heat of fire, so a well-placed fire or light based spell such as the Bluebell Flames, Fire-Making Spell, Wand-Lighting Charm or Lumos Solem Spell would effectively drive it away from its victims. Devil's Snare preferred a dark, damp environment. Struggling or resistance to Devil's Snare would cause the plant to exert a greater force of constriction. If the victim was able to maintain their presence of mind and relaxed, the Snare would relax its grip on them. The harder a person struggled against Devil's Snare, the faster and more tightly it bound them.

It was composed of a mass of soft, springy tendrils and vines that possessed some sense of touch, and resembled the Flitterbloom.

Harry Potter: " Well, hurry up, I can't breathe!" - The Trio falling victim to the Devil's Snare "A priori" is a Latin phrase which means "from the earlier." This spell will cause the user's wand to regurgitate ghosts of its previously cast spells. "Priori Incantatem" - the reverse spell effect. The Latin word "homo" means "man," and "revelare" is the verb "to reveal." The spell will literally "reveal humans" if they are hiding nearby. The "ard" section of "wingardium" is likely from the Latin "arduus," or "steep/elevated." And finally "levi" means "to lift." "Homenum Revelio" - spell that tells you if humans are present "Wing" (while not Latin) clearly invokes imagery of flight, and the charm causes objects to fly.
