Summary

I've done a lot of spell videos. The most powerful, the most dangerous, the hardest to cast, but one I've always wanted to make involves taking a look at the most... Messed up.

Not the deadliest. Not the flashiest. But the kind of spell that makes you question why someone would even invent it in the first place.

Fortunately I've gone down the spell rabbit hole pretty deep- I've even made an entire video covering every single spell in the Wizarding World. So I've got a pretty solid grasp on the full spellbook.

Which is why today, we're shining a light on the most messed up, demented spells the Wizarding World has to offer�spells that exist to inflict pain, humiliation, and sometimes just pure, senseless suffering.

Instead of focusing on the obvious ones, my goal for this video will be to dig deeper into the cruel, obscure, and morally bankrupt curses, hexes, and jinxes that most of you probably haven't even heard of.

But before we get stuck in, I do want to highlight one consideration: Sometimes, it's not about what the spell is inherently�it's about how it's used. Something that seems harmless on the outside�like a spell used to mend a broken teacup can quickly become a tool of torment in the wrong hands.

Anyway..

Let's dive into it.
