Today is the movie premiere of the movie, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. I’m so excited to watch the movie so while waiting for the right time to see it, I’ve gathered some Harry Potter spells, here is the list.

Accio – Brings an item to a person. It is spoken, often followed by the object the person wants afterward, as in “Accio broomstick.” It also can summon objects when said alone if the person concentrates upon them hard enough or is an experienced wizard.

Alohomora – Unlocking spell, effctive on doors, windows and locks. Hermione used to help her, Ron and Harry get away from Peeves in the “Midnight Duel” sequence (Sorcercer’s Stone).

Aparecium – Makes invisible things reappear again. Hermione tries to get the words Tom Riddle wrote in his diary by trying this spell on it in Chamber.

Avada Kedavra – The worst spell of all … the Killing Curse. Instantly kills the victim. One of the three “Unforgivable Curses,” banned by wizarding law, and punishable by up to life in Azkaban.

Avis – A spell that releases a small flock of birds from the end of a wand.

Cruciatus Curse – A spell that inflicts severe pain upon the victim. Invoked by saying “Crucio!” One of the three “Unforgivable Curses.”

Confundus – A spell to totally confuse a person’s mind and cause him or her to lose their memory. Thanks to Ron’s backfiring wand, Gilderoy Lockhart gets hit with this one, instead of Harry, Ron and Ginny (COS).

Conjuctivitis Curse – A spell that causes the eyes to blinded, burning and red. Conjunctivitis in the Muggle world is a bacterial disease that causes the eyes to become very red, irritated and crusty; it’s commonly called “pink eye.”

Deletrius – Erases the effects of a spell. Read more »

Rumored for years, finally it’s out: Google Chrome OS the new computer operating system from Google. According to their blog:

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
