Though the credits have rolled on the final Harry Potter film, J.K. Rowling's world lives on forever in the hearts of true, ride-or-die Potterheads. The wizards and witches among us know the core Harry Potter spells better than we know our own country's state capitals: "Wingardium Leviosa" levitates; "Expelliarmus," disarms; "Expecto Patronum" defends against Dementors and Lethifolds. Come on, we speak fluent Hogwarts.

Harry Potter superfans come from all walks of life, and we happen to believe there's a massive overlap between the world of HP nerds and the world of beauty lovers. It makes sense if you think about it -- there's fantasy (read: sparkle) in both.

To celebrate all of us Sephora-obsessed, Weasley-loving dweebs, we decided to put together this special list of Harry Potter spells for beauty junkies (just think of it as beauty fan-fic).

You have beauty struggles; we have spells to fix them. Here, 20 original Harry Potter spells that all of us beauty geeks wish we could use IRL.
