(Detail)
This is an illustration of the classic Harry Potter spell, “lumos,” being cast with the appropriate hand motion included. Along the left side, we have a description of the lumos spell, along with the Latin derivative. In the top left corner, we have the hand motion for “expecto patronum,” then a description of the spell across the top.
Running down the right side is a description of the “nox” spell (used to extinguish a glowing wand), then the accompanying hand motion in the bottom right corner.
And, of course, the wand is based on Harry’s classic holly/phoenix feather wand.
(I researched….a lot….of Harry Potter Wiki articles for this painting. NO REGRETS.)
