![]() Examples of these animals include the Tebo, the phoenix (whose ability is more closely related to Vanishing), and the Demiguise.ĭumbledore stated that he doesn’t need a Cloak to become Invisible, which could suggest that he is capable of casting an Invisibility Spell on himself. The hair, hides, or other parts of these animals are used for various Wizarding forms of Invisibilty. Some magical creatures have the ability to make themselves invisible. This spell doesn’t actually make a person invisible, but it makes them extremely difficult to see by making them blend in with whatever they’re standing in front of. Invisibility, rather than Vanishing, is the spell Fred and George put on their Headless Hats.Īnother form of Invisibility is the Disillusionment Charm. Invisible Ink is also still on the paper, just impossible to see. The Invisibility Cloak is an example of this effect. This spell effect is different in that the Invisible person or object is still very much present, just impossible for most beings to see. This is not Apparating, although it resembles it it is a natural ability of the elf. House-elves have the ability to Vanish at will. ![]() The phoenix can also disappear from one location and reappear in another. The Diricawl is an excellent example of this. Some magical creatures have natural Vanishing ability. It is unclear whether the Vanishing Spell is actually being used by the Cabinet. Draco Malfoy spent a considerable amount of time and effort repairing the Cabinet and used it to bring Death Eaters into the school ( HBP27). He was out of his mind in the Hospital Wing for a long time after that, recuperating. When Montague was stuffed into the Cabinet, he reappeared some days later, crammed into a toilet. The Cabinet was malfunctioning for years, and people who were sent through found themselves trapped. There is a Vanishing Cabinet on the First Floor of Hogwarts which is linked to another such Cabinet at Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley. Other forms of Vanishing magicĪ Vanishing Cabinet makes things Vanish, sending them to another Vanishing Cabinet to which it is magically connected. The maps and charts that were Vanished in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place also must have moved to a cupboard or other storage place ( OP5). However, in some cases the items made to Vanish with an Evanesco spell certainly would not be lost forever. The potions both Snape and Hermione made Vanish might have ended up in a drain or other disposal location then. In this way, the rest of the mouse is happily existing in some other location, and the tail, while separated by distance, is still linked to the rest of the animal. It seems, then, that anything Vanished does not cease to exist. Splinching, though serious, is not fatal, so the body parts are presumably still connected in some way to the Splinched person. This suggests a connection to the concept of Splinching, where a person who incorrectly Apparates leaves some body parts behind. For example, a mouse made to Vanish incompletely will then exist simply as a wriggling tail. This does seem to fit for most circumstances, but there are a few twists. McGonagall states that Vanished objects go “nto non-being, which is to say, everything” ( DH30). The intent of the caster provides the needed focus on a particular object. ![]() The Evanesco spell apparently doesn’t need an object word (you don’t have to say “Evanesco Potion,” for example). Taught in fifth year Transfiguration ( OP13), this spell is usually cast using the incantation Evanesco which is Latin for “vanish.” McGonagall starts students out with Vanishing invertebrates-snails-and then works them up to mice because they’re more difficult ( OP15). The basic form of Vanishing is the Vanishing Spell. ![]() Various types of spells and items make things vanish, but in different ways.
