"No other two colors share such a connection of opposing meanings as these two." Hence, one is bright green and one is bright red, two colours that are described in combination on Kissmetrics, a marketing and analytics site thus: I am only making connections that I haven't seen explained, but I have come to think that Stupefy represents Harry's merciful nature against Voldemort's complete lack of compassion. Stupefy is red, and as it is sort of Harry's unofficial spell of choice I believe it is designed to be the opposite of Voldemort's own chosen curse. Green can be a very varied colour, but it is clear that certain shades are used to imply toxicity, illness and even to represent jealousy and envy (green with envy/the little green monster). I can't find any particular shade described, but it is called a, "blinding green light," when it is used in Goblet of Fire by Moody/Crouch Jnr on the spider. But did she have a rule of 'Evil spells must be green,' or similar? No, I don't think she was this restrictive.Īs I said in a comment, Avada Kedavra involves a bright green flash of light, which I believe was chosen because it has unnatural connotations. JK Rowling never forgot what colour a spell was a changed it, that's for sure. I've looked into this a lot since you asked it, and I think there is definitely significance. It does not store any personal data.Is there any significant to the colours of spells?
