Harry Potter Spells Actually Work On This One Animal

Can Harry Potter Spells Work on Animals? Maybe.

Do you ever daydream about waving a wand and making things happen, just like they do in the Harry Potter books? Imagine the thrill of mastering spells like Accio, Lumos, or even Expelliarmus! It would be a wizard wonderland HERE ON EARTH!

Let's start with Accio, the Summoning Charm. Picture this: you're cozy on the couch, craving a snack from the kitchen. Instead of getting up, you simply flick your wand and say, "Accio popcorn!" Voila! Your favorite treat comes flying to you. Lazy? Maybe. Awesome? Absolutely!

Then there's Lumos, the spell to light up the tip of your wand. No more fumbling for the light switch in the dark! With Lumos, you can explore hidden passages, read under the covers past bedtime, or just add a touch of enchantment to your evening stroll.

And who wouldn't want to master Expelliarmus, the Disarming Charm? Imagine winning every argument with a flick of your wrist, disarming your opponent (figuratively, of course) and leaving them speechless. I'd eat all the gross ones from Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans!

But here's the thing: as much as we'd love to learn these spells, we're just Muggles. No magical powers for us, right? Well, not necessarily. Enter man's best friend: the dog.

There's this amazing woman on TikTok who's casting a spell on all of us by teaching her dog - named Dobby, of course! - to fall under Harry Potter spells. It's pure delight! OK, maybe the pooch isn't responding to commands like Wingardium Leviosa (levitation charm) or Petrificus Totalus (full body-bind curse), it's still inothing short of enchanting.

"Accio" means "come" because in Harry's world, you say that when you want something to magically come to you. "Expelliarmus" - the disarming spell - means "drop it."When Dobby is told to "go to Azkaban," he gets into his crate.  Azkaban is the prison in the books and movies!  Finally, Dobby plays dead when he hears "Avada Kadavra", which is the killing curse.

Sure, her pup might not be casting spells in the traditional sense, but the joy it brings is undeniable. Who needs a wand when you have a wagging tail and a heart full of magic?

There's something truly special about having a close relationship with your pet. They say a dog is "man's best friend," and it's totally accurate. I have friends and family who truly feel like their pets are a member of the family. Pets will be there for you through thick and thin. Pets are also know for being loyal, which can be a really good feeling in this world. So, what are the most popular dogs right now?

Danspetcare.com has a great article out that names the most popular dogs in the world right now. In it, they describe that special relationship that one has with their pet. "From hunting to sled-pulling to herding and protection, dogs have helped us survive and thrive in countless ways," they explain.

So, what do you do if you're in the market for a new dog? Danspetcare.com has some good advice on how to pick the right breed. They explain that finding the right breed is a big part of that decision. So, ask yourself, do you want a delicate breed or a more meaty, masculine breed? Also, what's the purpose of you wanting a pet? Do you want a pet for protection, or are you looking for a small buddy for some companionship?

Either way, when you're in the market for a new pet, make sure to have lots of questions and ask the right people before settling on your little guy or gal. I remember one of my friends buying the cutest little puppy ever only to see it grow into a huge dog that was almost too big for her apartment.
