-Elly Connelly- 

 

Alohomora!- When you lock your keys in your car or are stuck outside of your dorm or house

 

Lumos- When there is a power outage in Oxford and the only place with light is Bagel & Deli

 

Obliviate- Okay, some people don’t need to use this to forget about anything that happened over the weekend

 

Priori Incantato- Use this if you are an opera major and your professor keeps begging you to be louder 

 

Reducto- Perfect for Chem Lab when your team is struggling with oxidation-reductions

 

Rennervate- Use on that person who was the MVP right before he/she broke his/her ankle at rec soccer 

 

Scourgify- When your roommates’ dishes have mold growing in them & you insist they clean them 

 

Silencio- When you really need to get work done 

 

Expecto Patronum- When you are gearing up for finals week or almost step on the seal

 

Incendio- When that one cutie is looking at you in potions class…ummm…Geology 111

 

Wingardium Leviosa- try when you are bored and have a random feather

 

Avada Kedavra- Ehhh, This is the only one we do not recommend using. You should use your power for good. 

 

Call me Elly (short for my last name "Connelly")!

I am a Psychology major with intentions of pursuing neuroscience or medicine of some sort. You can probably find me at local coffee shops on weekends either studying and/or writing my book! What I love most about Her Campus is the opportunity to collaborate with diverse people to create entertainment and share knowledge.
