Merlin’s beard/Merlin’s pants"Merlin’s beard, Harry, you made me jump,' said Slughorn, stopping dead in his tracks and looking wary" —Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince. You may have heard of the great wizard Merlin in stories about King Arthur.

Gallopin’ gorgons"Gallopin’ Gorgons, that reminds me,’ said Hagrid, clapping a hand to his forehead with enough force to knock over a cart horse, and from yet another pocket inside his overcoat he pulled an owl – a real, live, rather ruffled- looking owl – a long quill and a roll of parchment." —Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This phrase was first said by Hagrid in the Sorcerer's Stone when he realized he’d almost forgotten to send an owl to Dumbledore that he’d given Harry’s Hogwarts acceptance letter. Equivalent to “oh my God,” “good golly,” or “oh shoot,” gallopin’ gorgons can be used in almost any situation.

I've had enough of it . Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Filch, the groundskeeper of Hogwarts, might be a squib—which means he was born into a wizarding family but can’t do magic—but he’s certainly got a talent when it comes to creating curse words and phrases like the one above. A versatile phrase with no set definition or intended meaning, variations on it may also include “frog brains” or “rat intestines.” For example, “Great sizzling dragon bogies! That battle on Game of Thrones last night was intense!”Dung brains"Someone laughed behind Harry. Turning, he saw Fred, George, and Lee Jordan hurrying down the staircase, all three of them looking extremely excited. Done it,' Fred said in a triumphant whisper to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Just taken it.' 'What?' said Ron. The Aging Potion, dung brains,' said Fred" —Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Not to be confused with a sloth brain potion, a dung brain is similar to the British use of the word “dunderhead,” and it refers to anyone who is acting dumb or not being particularly smart in what they’re saying or doing. It’s the perfect insult for anyone who happens to get on a wizard or witch’s nerves. If your sibling is being a little too annoying for you to properly enjoy the latest episode of Riverdale, it actually might not be nice to call them a dung brain—but it’s good to know what it means!

He’s another one with no proper wizard feeling, or he wouldn’t go around with that jumped- up Granger Mudblood. And people think he’s Slytherin’s heir!" —Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This one is perhaps the worst wizard curse word of them all and is considered a highly derogatory term, not recommended for everyday use—or any use at all, really.

This word is most famously used when Draco Malfoy calls Hermione a mudblood, causing quite a stir. Later on in the books, Hermione calls herself a mudblood in an effort to reclaim the word as a muggle- born witch, much to Ron’s surprise—proving that wizarding curses really do vary based on who says them and how.

Then again, maybe it’s best to leave the name calling up to Ron.
