Cast a Harry Potter Spell was created by Jasmine at Flip That Page. I love taking parts in bookish surveys and when I first read this post over at Mel at The Daily Prophecy I knew that I had to take part too.
So what is this survey about? Basically, it’s a survey of sorts, where I give you a certain spell from the Harry Potter series, and you answer with the title of a book you’d like to cast the spell on.
So without further ado...
Reparo
fixes damaged objects
fixes damaged objects
Lumos
creates a narrow beam of light
A book that deserves more attention: Past Perfect by Leila Sales. After looking over my list on Goodreads, I really want to know why more people haven't read this book, it was an absolutey hilarious read. I recommend everyone should read this, when they need a quick pick me up!
Nox
counters the effects of Lumos
An overhyped book: I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore.
Accio
summons an object from a significant distance
A book you’re anticipating: Ashes to Ashes (Burn for Burn #3) by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian. The second book in this series was just seriously insane, with both authors bringing so much that I hadn't anticipated. Also my poor heart barely made it through. So I kind of need to know what happens in the next book like now!
Expecto Patronum
conjures an incarnation of positive feelings
A book that made you cry, or at least want to: Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison. Oh boy don't get me started on this book, otherwise I'll have to bring out all the tissues again. This was such a gorgeously written story, I remember staying up really late just sobbing away.
Morsmordre
conjures the Dark Mark
A book you wish to mark as one of your favorites: You Look Different in Real Life by Jennifer Castle. This book was so unexpected, it was written so eloquently and just left such a great impression with me.
Petrificus Totalus
petrifies victim
A book you wish to keep forever: Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot.
Protego
shield charm
An intimidating book you keep putting off: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
Riddikulus
used against a boggart
A book with a deceiving synopsis: Right of Way by Lauren Barnholdt, this book totally fooled me.
Wingardium Leviosa
levitates objects

I hope you guys had fun reading this survey, I'd be interested to know which books you would feature under these spells. I will be back next week with part two of Cast a Harry Potter Spell, where I will be discussing...

I've seen this tag on a few different blogs lately and I love it - it's such a great way to discover books I hadn't heard of before. I look forward to part 2! ;)
Cute survey! You should not be intimidated by TFIOS. It's awesome and yeah kinda sad, but really really good. And addicting, so you'll read it super fast. And I CAN'T WAIT for Ashes to Ashes either!!!! Love that series!

I loved Sales's latest and I'm excited to hear that you enjoyed You Look Different in Real Life because I plan to read that one sometime next year. I haven't seen this survey around, but great responses, Jasprit!(:
What an awesome survey! With you all the way about I Am Number Four. Got about halfway and was thoroughly bored :/ Will be checking out Leila Sales book too :D
How much fun is this?! I LOVE IT SO MUCH JASPRIT! I agree with you, I'm definitely intimidated by The Fault in Our Stars as well. I've heard so many great things about it and I know it's going to make me cry and I just can't work up the courage to pick it up just yet! Maybe we can do it together, it could be less intimidating with two of us tackling it.... :)
Heh -- this was adorable. I definitely Protego-ed TFiOS for AGES until my spell finally broke and I HAD TO read it. Oh, and I really loved the Heather Wells series, too! So much fun and I liked the whole set-up.
It's so funny, I've had PAST PERFECT as an egalley way back when S&S still had their Galley Grab program going, but never got around to it. The setting/premise seemed like it could go either way, so even though it got great reviews, I had this...block about it, hah. But after reading and loving THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE, I'm definitely going to read PP soon!
I keep putting off TFIOS too, btw. I think John Green is probably an author you either love or loathe, and I'm weirdly reluctant to find out which I am. Also, you have to be in the mood to cry, from what I hear.

Awesome post sweetie :D Ahh. You need to get The Fault in Our Stars read. <3 It is amazing.
This is such a cute survey! I love Harry Potter, so it's very exciting to see the spells used in a fun way. :-) A book I think deserves more attention is Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert.
I'm also waiting (impatiently) for Ashes to Ashes. The first two books just grabbed me, yanked me around- and then by the end of the second I found myself in much need of more pages. ^^ I'm also looking forward to Jenny Han's other book "To All The Boys I've Loved Before".
I hadn't seen this post around before and it is such a fun idea! I loved reading it and can't wait for part 2!
I like what you shared, Jas! Like you, I've been putting off reading The Fault in Our Stars and I have to agree... I Am Number Four is an overhyped one.
This is such a fun post! I agree Past Perfect is one of those books that definitely deserves some Lumos love. :-) I hope you enjoy TFIOS when you do read it!
Oh I totally agree about the intimidating book that you keep putting off. That would be mine too. ;) And I haven't really paid Past Perfect much attention before, but it sounds like fun, so I'll definitely be sure to add it to the list now. Thanks, Jasprit!
I enjoy the Cast a Spell posts very much. I just ordered the first book in the Shopaholic series recently, because I loved the movie and thought it time to read the books. Good to hear that the other books in the series get better:)
Ha! This is too freaking cute. I have no doubt that Past Perfect deserves more recognition.. I loved This Song and really want to read more of that authors works.
