Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing what exactly those GOLD flames were that Harry shot at Voldemort during The Battle of the Seven Potters.

Throughout the series, we are introduced to a many number of spells, charms and curses. And, typically, when a witch or wizard casts or conjures any magic of this kind, it's associated with an incantation and some physical manifestation of magic shooting out of the caster's wand. For example, the most well-known dark arts spell of all time is The Killing Curse, one of the three Unforgivable Curses, which is conjured with "Avada Kedavra" and results in a jet of bright green light coming out of the witch or wizard's wand. By contrast, there are also many famous spells that are conjured for good, such as the Patronus Charm, which can be cast by saying "Expecto Patronum" and which releases magic in the form of an animal, unique to each witch or wizard, and made of a silver, vapour-like substance.

So, while we typically know what spell an individual is trying to conjure based on the incantation and what comes out of their wand, this isn't always the case. In The Deathly Hallows, we once again see Harry come up against Lord Voldemort, and the resulting magic is confusing...at least at first.
