It is impossible to Apparate or Disapparate within Hogwarts. (https://www.tribality.com/2016/01/04/harry-potter-spells-for-dd/)

Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse) Harry Potter Spell Description: Causes instant death to the victim wherever it hits on the body, is accompanied by a flash of green light and a rushing noise; there is no known counter-curse, although there are a number of ways to prevent death by it, such as hitting it with another spell in mid-flight, dodging it, or interrupting the caster. It is one of the three Unforgivable Curses. Harry Potter was saved from this spell a number of times, both by his mother’s sacrifice, because he was an accidental horcrux, and because his wand and his enemy’s were made of the same core. Etymology: During an audience interview at the Edinburgh Book Festival on 15 April, 2004 J. K. Rowlingsaid “Does anyone know where avada kedavra came from? It is an ancient spell in Aramaic, and it is the original of abracadabra, which means “let the thing be destroyed”. Originally, it was used to cure illness and the “thing” was the illness, but I decided to make the “thing” as in the person standing in front of me. I take a lot of liberties with things like that. I twist them round and make them mine.” Avada Kedavra 7th-level abjuration Casting time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V,S Duration: instantaneous You causes one creature you can see within range to die instantly. If the creature you have chosen has fewer than 50 hit points, it dies. Otherwise the spell has no effect. At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the hit point threshold increases by 25 hit points for each spell slot level above 7th.

Bubble-Head Charm Puts a protective globe like an upside-down goldfish bowl over the head to ensure a supply of fresh air in the presence of Stink Pellets and Dungbombs, and to allow the charmed person to breathe underwater.

Crucio (Cruciatus Curse) Harry Potter Spell Description: Inflicts intense pain on the recipient of the curse; the pain is described as having hot knives being driven into the victim. It cannot be cast successfully by a person who is doing so out of pure spite or anger; one must feel a true desire to cause the victim pain. If one casts this spell, he or she will receive a life sentence in Azkaban prison for it, as with the other two Unforgivable Curses. Etymology: Latin crucio means “I torture”. Crucio 4th-level evocation Casting time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V,S Duration: instantaneous The spell inflicts pain upon the target creature. The creature takes 1d8 + spell modifier points of psychic damage for 4 turns, the target creature makes a Wisdom saving throw each turn to reduce the damage in half. If reduced to 0 hit points, the creature is unconscious but stable. The target can be awoken the next turn At higher levels. A higher level spell slot can be used instead and when using a 5th level or higher, the damage occurs additional turns for each spell slot level above 4th.

Expecto Patronum (Patronus Charm) Harry Potter Spell Description: This charm is a defensive spell which will conjure a spirit-like incarnation of their positive emotions to defend against dark creatures; it can also send messages to other witches or wizards. It seems one’s Patronus will take the form of something important to the caster, and can change when one has undergone a period of heightened emotion. Etymology: Patronus means “protector” in Latin; in archaic Latin, it means “father”; considering the form Harry’s takes, this is interesting. The Latin word expecto means “I await” Expecto Patronum 3rd-level conjuration Casting time: Concentration, up to 1 minute Range: Self Components: V,S Duration: instantaneous You summon a spirit protector which appears in an unoccupied space next to you. The spirit appears to be angelic, fey or natural (your choice), but appears incorporeal none the less. The spirit disappears when the spell ends. If a enemy comes within 15 feet of you, the spirit will cause them harm for every turn they are in range. The enemy will suffer 3d8 radiant damage upon a failed Wisdom saving throw, or half upon a success. At Higher Levels. The damage increases by 1d8 for each spell slot level used above 3rd.

Expelliarmus (Disarming Charm) Harry Potter Spell Description: This charm will cause an item that a victim is holding to fly away. If used with more force it can knock out the victim.

Spells Lore: Why are spells different? Harry tumbles back into time, and when he lands, most of the spells he knows don’t work! Welcome to level 1.

J.K. Rowling hasn’t said anything about how spells are created, which I’m using to my advantage. My lore: Spells have to be created before being used. You can think of it like a magical operating system. Creation of spells “patch” the OS, and add or change features. Harry Potter is using the 1990s OS, but in the medieval OS, Expelliarmus doesn’t exist yet and Accio is so different, he’ll have to level up and re-learn it.
