Incendio!

Wizard with a spell.Image via WikipediaAs Pottermore beta-testers, we can tell you that casting spells is tricky! Or at the very least, you have to get the timing just right or your spell will fail.

To cast a spell, you have to hit the letters indicated, in the right order, at the right time. The bigger the circle is around each letter when you click that letter on your keyboard, the more points your spell will earn you.

This is very useful for Wizard's Duel, in which you compete in spellcasting against other wizards and witches. The skillful can earn many house points with Wizard's Duel, so practice, practice, practice! Especially if you're a fellow Gryffindor (just kidding!)

After a great deal of practice, I can say with pride that I finally cast my first spell - Incendio! which  can be found in the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1.

I'm off to practice spells from some of the more advanced books - The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection and Curses and Counter-Curses.

Until next time, keep practicing your spell-casting!
