Also according to the wiki, the spells for the third year can be found in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game), but include the Patronus Charm. So they should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt. This is not canon, since it is all from the video game, and the textbook is not visible on Pottermore.

Apparently this transfigures objects into mice.

The following spells are backed up by book quotes, and are canon.

Flitwick taught Cheering Charms:

"You're late, boys!" said Professor Flitwick reprovingly as Harry opened the classroom door. "Come along, quickly, wands out, we're experimenting with Cheering Charms today, we've already divided into pairs --"

Professor Lupin taught the Boggart-Banishing Spell:

"The charm that repels a boggart is simple, yet it requires force of mind. You see, the thing that really finishes a boggart is laughter. What you need to do is force it to assume a shape that you find amusing.

"We will practice the charm without wands first. After me, please ... Riddikulus!"

Technically, he also taught another spell:

"This is a useful little spell, he told the class over his shoulder. "Please watch closely." He raised the wand to shoulder height, said, "Waddiwasi! "and pointed it at Peeves.

Classes

In the third year, students were able to select from a more diverse list of courses. As a result, not all students shared the same curriculum.

For example, Harry added only Divination and Care of Magical Creatures from the previous year.

Most important of all, he had to buy his new schoolbooks, which would include those for his two new subjects, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination.

Hermione, on the other hand, had quite a few more:

"Well, I'm taking more new subjects than you, aren't I?' said Hermione. "Those are my books for Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, the Study of Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies --"

The courses offered were (elective courses in bold):

  • Defense Against the Dark Arts

  • Herbology

  • Potions

  • Charms

  • Transfiguration

  • History of Magic

  • Astronomy

  • Ancient Runes

  • Muggle Studies

  • Care of Magical Creatures

  • Divination

  • Arithmancy

Not all of these classes involved spells or potions.

Potions

  • Shrinking Solutions:

"Everyone gather 'round," said Snape, his black eyes glittering, and watch what happens to Longbottom's toad. If he has managed to produce a Shrinking Solution, it will shrink to a tadpole. If, as I don't doubt, he has done it wrong, his toad is likely to be poisoned."

  • Confusing Concoctions

They had Potions that afternoon, which was an unqualified disaster. Try as Harry might, he couldn't get his Confusing Concoction to thicken, and Snape, standing watch with an air of vindictive pleasure, scribbled something that looked suspiciously like a zero onto his notes before moving away.

The function of a Confusing Concoction may be explained in the fifth book, if it is the same as a Confusing Draft:

These plantes are moste efficacious in the inflaming of the braine, and are therefore much used in Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts, where the wizard is desirous of producing hot-headedness and recklessness ...

  • Undetectable Poisons

"How's she doing it?" Ron muttered to Harry one evening as Harry sat finishing a nasty essay on Undetectable Poisons for Snape. Harry looked up. Hermione was barely visible behind a tottering pile of books.

Spells

The main textbook is the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3. According to Potterwiki

This is the first book in The Standard Book of Spells series whose contents will not be viewable on Pottermore.

Also according to the wiki, the spells for the third year can be found in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game), but include the Patronus Charm. So they should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt.

In any case, the spells are:

  • Disarming Charm

  • Draconifors Spell

Apparently this transfigures objects into dragons.

  • Freezing Spell

  • Lapifors Spell

Apparently this transfigures objects into rabbits.

  • Lumos Duo Charm

  • Mending Charm

  • Seize and Pull Charm

  • Snufflifors Spell

Apparently this transfigures objects into mice.
