Andy Green (RAF officer)

Wing Commander Andrew Duncan Green is a retired British Royal Air Force fighter pilot and world land speed record holder since 1997, the first land speed record to break the sound barrier.

Early life
He was born in Atherstone, Warwickshire. Green's family moved to Hartlepool in the 1970s when his father was appointed chief fire officer of the local fire brigade. Green originally attended High Tunstall School before moving to Marske-by-the-Sea and beginning study at Bydales Comprehensive School. Green later moved to Kent with his family, where he studied at St. Olave's Grammar School in Orpington. While at a car show in Hartlepool at a young age, Green decided that he would be interested in a career within the military.

RAF career
Green gained an RAF scholarship to Worcester College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1983 with first class honours in mathematics. He qualified as a fighter pilot on F-4 Phantom and Tornado F3 aircraft. In 2003 Green was promoted to Wing Commander. He later became Officer Commanding Operations Wing at RAF Wittering near Peterborough. Green was the captain of the RAF team at the Cresta Run, where he used an experimental French toboggan and held the Inter-Services record for a number of years.

In his capacity as an RAF officer, he has served in West Germany, Iraq, Bosnia and Afghanistan.

Supersonic
Green is the current holder of the world land speed record, and the only person ever to break the sound barrier on land. On 25 September 1997 in ThrustSSC he beat the previous record in Black Rock Desert, US, reaching a speed of 714.144 mph. On 15 October 1997, 50 years and 1 day after the sound barrier was broken in aerial flight by Chuck Yeager, Green reached 763.035 mph, the first supersonic record (Mach 1.016). His call sign was "Dead Dog". As the vehicle exceeded the speed of sound it created a sonic boom.

Green is now working on a new record attempt to break the 1000 mph mark with Bloodhound LSR.

Road car
His next land speed attempt was intended to be for MG in a specially modified MG F called the MG EX255; however, due to the time required for modifications, the project did not finish on time and that attempt never happened.

Diesel power
Since then, Green's most recent challenge was the driving of the JCB Dieselmax car, attempting to take the Diesel Land Speed Record over 300 mi/h. Having tested the vehicle on his own RAF base, Wittering, on 22 August 2006, he broke the previous record of 236 mph (set in August 1973), after attaining an average speed of 328.767 mph during two runs on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Twenty four hours later, Green broke his own record, achieving a speed of 350.092 mph on 23 August 2006.

Honours and awards
He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1998 New Year Honours. He was awarded the Segrave Trophy by the Royal Automobile Club in 1997. In 2006 he was awarded the John Cobb Trophy by the British Racing Drivers' Club for "a success of outstanding character" and an Honorary degree from Staffordshire University in July 2008.

Racing experience
On 14 June 2009 Green gained his first circuit racing experience, whilst raising money for the Bloodhound SSC project, by participating in Round 4 of the Elise Trophy at Snetterton.

Naval Reserve Medal

The Naval Reserve Medal is a decoration of the United States Navy which was created by order of Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson on 12 September 1938. The medal was first issued in 1938 and was an active award until 1958. On 12 September 1958, the Naval Reserve Medal was declared discontinued and was replaced by the Armed Forces Reserve Medal. It is not to be confused with the Naval Reserve Meritorious Service Medal which is a different award that was discontinued on 1 January 2014.

The Naval Reserve Medal was awarded to any commissioned officer or enlisted member of United States Naval Reserve (USNR), the associated National Naval Volunteers, and local naval militia units of the period. To be awarded the decoration, a service member was required to perform ten years of continuous service in one of the aforementioned components in either an active duty, drilling reservist, or inactive status.

An additional award of the NRM is denoted by a service star. The United States Marine Corps equivalent to the award is the Marine Corps Reserve Ribbon. The Naval Reserve Medal originally held precedence just below that of the Navy Good Conduct Medal which, in turn, held precedence just below unit awards. Sometime after 1958, the precedence of the Naval Reserve Medal was moved to rank just below the Armed Forces Reserve Medal making it the lowest ranking medal awarded by the United States Armed Forces aside from the Navy and Coast Guard expert marksmanship medals.

As the NRM was only available for exactly 20 years and 0 days, and required 10 years and 0 days USNR service, no sailor could possibly receive more than two. Additionally, with World War II (WW II) pulling the vast majority of Naval Reservists into active duty the Regular Navy, the number of sailors to receive two NRMs is fantastically low, with all two-time recipients having had to serve a total of 20 years in the Naval Reserve between September 1938 and September 1958, e.g., before, during and after WW II. Therefore, most one-time recipients served in the USNR after WW II in the 1946-1958 window.

Christian Patriot movement

The Christian Patriot movement is a subset of the broader American Patriot movement that promotes Christian nationalism and emphasizes it as its core goal and philosophy. Like the larger Patriot movement, it promotes an interpretation of American history in which the federal government has turned against the ideas of liberty and natural rights expressed in the American Revolution.

Ideology
The movement originally referred to the Posse Comitatus, a far-right militia organization. The Posse Comitatus followed an ideology based on the teachings of William Potter Gale, who was also a Christian Identity minister, and the majority of the Christian Patriot movement's members still adhere to Christian Identity's white supremacist views. This ideology holds the view that state and federal governments are agents of an arcane conspiracy to deprive Americans of their rights as "sovereign citizens." It also holds the view that this conspiracy can be undermined through various legal pleadings from English common law and other sources, such as a motion protesting the way a defendant's name is typeset in a legal complaint. The ideology persists despite numerous court rulings that have declared its theories frivolous.

Status
The movement grew during the 1990s after the Ruby Ridge and Waco Sieges appeared to confirm the suspicions of Christian Patriots. The movement maintained its ties with the American militia movement of the same period. A highly publicized federal confrontation with Christian Patriots occurred in 1996, when Federal marshals arrested the Montana Freemen.

In 2009, the Southern Poverty Law Center said that militia groups may be experiencing a "Patriot revival."

Wheaties

Wheaties is an American brand of breakfast cereal that is made by General Mills. It is well known for featuring prominent athletes on its packages and has become a cultural icon in the United States. Originally introduced as Washburn's Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes in 1924, it is primarily a wheat and bran mixture baked into flakes.

Creation
Wheaties was created in 1921, as a result of an accidental spill of a wheat bran mixture onto a hot stove by a Minnesota clinician working for the Washburn Crosby Company (later General Mills). By November 1924, after more than 36 attempts to strengthen the flakes to withstand packaging, the process for creating the flakes had been perfected by the Washburn head miller, George Cormack, and the cereal was named Washburn's Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes. Soon after, the name was changed to Wheaties as a result of an employee contest won by Jane Bausman, the wife of a company export manager. Other names passed over included "Nutties" and "Gold Medal Wheat Flakes."

Wheaties began to be advertised on Minneapolis's WCCO radio station (owned by Washburn Crosby) on December 24, 1926, with the first-ever pre-recorded commercial jingle. Its lyrics were sung to the tune of the then-popular "She's a Jazz Baby" by Bill Holcombe and David Miller or possibly to the tune of "Jazz Baby":

Early sports association
Wheaties began its association with sports in 1927, through advertising on the southern wall of minor league baseball's Nicollet Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the contract, Wheaties sponsored the radio broadcasts of the minor league baseball team, Minneapolis Millers, on radio station WCCO and Wheaties was provided with a large billboard in the park to use to introduce new slogans. The first such slogan on the new signboard was penned by Knox Reeves, of a Minneapolis advertising agency. When asked what should be placed on the sign for Wheaties, Reeves sketched a Wheaties box on a pad of paper, thought for a moment, and wrote "Wheaties—The Breakfast of Champions".

Throughout the 1930s, Wheaties increased in popularity with its sponsorship of baseball broadcasting, and by the end of the decade, nearly a hundred radio stations carried Wheaties sponsored events. During these events, athlete testimonials about Wheaties were used to demonstrate that Wheaties was indeed the breakfast of champions. In 1934, athletes began to be depicted on the Wheaties boxes, starting with baseball star Lou Gehrig, and the tradition continues today.

The heyday of Wheaties came in the 1930s and early 1940s, as testimonials peaked from nearly every sport imaginable. Among the many testimonials included were: baseball stars, managers, and trainers; broadcasters; football stars and coaches; circus stars and rodeo; livestock breeders; a railroad engineer; horsemen and jockeys; a big-game hunter; automobile racers; an aviator; a speedboat driver; an explorer; and parachutists.

Wheaties maintained brand recognition through its definitive association with sports, and its distinctive orange boxes. It became so popular that in the 1939 All-star game, 46 of the 51 players endorsed the cereal. In the months following, Wheaties became one of the sponsors of the first televised sports broadcast to allow commercials. On August 29, 1939, NBC television presented the first major league baseball game ever televised between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers to approximately 500 television set owners in New York City over experimental station W2XBS (now WNBC). Red Barber was the play-by-play broadcaster. Although full commercial television would not be authorized until July 1, 1941, the FCC allowed commercials to be inserted in this particular, special event broadcast as a test. Barber had to ad-lib three live commercials, one for each Dodger sponsor. For Procter & Gamble, he held up a bar of Ivory Soap. For Socony, Barber put on a Mobil gas station cap and raised a can of oil. For General Mills, he poured Wheaties into a bowl, added milk and sugar on top (some reports say he also sliced a banana), then proclaimed "Now that's the breakfast of champions." "There was not a cue card in sight", Barber said.

A measure of the product's familiarity is the reference in the 1941 baseball song Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, performed by Les Brown and his orchestra during DiMaggio's record hitting streak. In the song, DiMaggio gets a clutch base hit, and the band awards him "a case of Wheaties".

Ties with Ronald Reagan
Wheaties radio broadcasting in the 1930s touched the early career of Ronald Reagan, who was at the time a sports broadcast announcer in Des Moines, Iowa. He was asked to create play-by-play recreations of Chicago Cubs baseball games using transcribed telegraph reports; his job performance in this role led to his selection in 1937 as the most popular Wheaties announcer in the nation. He was awarded an all-expenses-paid trip to the Cubs' spring training camp in California, and while there he took a Warner Bros. screen test. This led to his eventual film career; thus the Wheaties claim of perhaps leading Reagan into show business, and later politics as governor of California and 40th President of the United States.

Changes and children's promotions
Due to increasing costs in the 1940s of sponsorship of broadcasting, Wheaties began simple commercial sports testimonials on television or radio. These were less effective than the overall sponsorship (especially in the case of television), yet also greatly reduced costs for advertising of the product.

In the early 1950s, General Mills redirected its promotional strategy for Wheaties to focus on children, following its great success in this market with its Cheerios brand. The strategy included sponsorship of The Lone Ranger and The Mickey Mouse Club, as well as the development of a mascot, a puppet character called Champy the Lion, produced by Bil Baird and voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft. Despite these efforts, sales of Wheaties declined dramatically, mainly due to adult consumers' dislike of so-called children's cereals. Children's consumption of Wheaties did in fact increase, but not enough to offset the decline in adult consumption.

Return of sports-related promotions
In 1958, General Mills decided to combat the decline in sales by returning Wheaties to its sporting roots. A three-pronged marketing strategy was devised. The first element was the selection of the brand's first spokesman, Bob Richards, two-time Olympic pole vault champion. The second was the reentry of Wheaties into the sports television sponsorship arena, pioneering the concepts of the pre-game and post-game show. The third was the creation of the Wheaties Sports Federation. The Wheaties Sports Federation promoted physical fitness, training, and participation in athletic events, through direct financial support of Olympic educational programs and the Jaycee Junior Champ track and field competition, and also through educational and instructional athletic films.

From the 1960s through the 1990s, Wheaties provided in-box promotions but maintained a focus on athletic fitness and on-the-box sports figure promotions. Since the debut of the front cover depiction of Bob Richards, hundreds of athletes have been shown and promoted, including entire baseball, basketball, and football teams, while also highlighting Olympic successes (including regional Special Olympics editions). Wheaties also does not limit itself to current athletic stars, as special edition boxes have depicted baseball players from the early 20th century, and many athletes who were too early for Wheaties to cover (see Jim Thorpe).

Decline in sales

Immobilus
Immobulus - "This spell is used to freeze an object in place. This spell is from the movie version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

Did Hermione use the spell on the pixies in the movie? I think I do recall it being used in the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Professor Lupin uses it to freeze the Whomping Willow before entering the passageway to the Shrieking Shack). Also, should it be spelled "Immobilus" if it is derived from "Immobile"? neatnate 18:42, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes, Hermione does freeze some pixies sometimes --Omegium 15:50, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It was used to blow up or freeze the bludger in mid-air during the Quidditch game so it would stop it from hitting harry, after landing in the sand, jumping for the Golden Snitch, which he caught. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.3.142 (talk) 23:06, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

locomotor
The article says that "Locomotor" has no Latin roots, but that word is derived from Latin - its parts are "locus" (place) and "movere" (movi, motum: to move) - so the meaning is something like "to move to another place". Compare "Locomotive" etc. --84.135.229.54 28 June 2005 22:02 (UTC) also, isn't locomotor used by flitwick in a previous book before ootp? Peregrine AY17:05, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * fixed Peregrine AY 17:05, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Other spells
I expected this article to be a complete list of spells in Harry Potter - there seem to be a lot of spells missing (Lumos? - wand casts a light, Reparo? - repairs an object, Finite Incantem? - the spell used by Professor Snape in Chamber of Secrets at the duelling club to restore calm, the spell Draco used in Chamber of Secrets at the duelling club to produce a snake, etc). Brianjd

Well then, by all means feel free to add to the list. That is what Wikipedia is all about; constant improvement in content by continuous editing. Sinistro 19:47, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm with both. The list should be improved, but it can give the impression that it was supposed to be complete. I added a small and clumsy note.

That said, I thought avada kedavra was an old phrase that "abracadabra" derived from, not the other way round? -- Kizor 16:41, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Protean Charm-warns people of meetings by making objects grow hot? That seems like a very narrow definition... I thought it was to bind all the fake galleons to one "master" galleon, so Hermione could change them all at once. This list needs to be more professional.
 * I understood the Protean Charm to be on several objects, and to make each object that had the charm cast on it imitate the master object which could be changed. While changing, the objects would grow hot. Sneezygirl (talk) 19:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Formatting
Maybe it would be a good idea to decide on some kind of "house style" to stick with when adding or amending spell information? For instance, looking down the list now, there are times when you might find certain names, Snape for instance, unlinked, and other times you could find them as Severus Snape, which is, I assume, the preferred format? Of course, one could not gaurantee that everyone amending the article would stick to such "standards", but if all the previous entries were of a similar style, it might encourage new editors to stick with it? Perhaps not a huge issue, but feel free to comment. Splaty 14:49, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Legilimancy
Legilimancy is NOT a spell, it is an obscure magical art.Phoenix Song 02:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I disagree with Phoenix, Legilimancy is channeled with a wand. Let me teach you the difference a magical art; and a spell.

Spell : i.e. Reducto, used to shatter people or(things) into tiny pieces. Spoiler Alert: Molly Weasley used the Reducto on Bellatrix Lestrange in order to shatter her into pieces (Deathly Hallows Part 2) A magical art is taught within teachers in Hogwarts.(Normally in harry potter)Another Spoiler Alert: The only lessons that happened due to Ministry of Magic interfering with Hogwarts, and Harry Potter taught Defence Against the Dark Arts to the students who signed up for it. They named it Dumbledore's Army. Below you will find some examples of magical arts currently being taught in Hogwarts.

Examples : -Defence Against The Dark Arts -Herbology -Potions -Flying(Only seen in Philosopher's Stone or Sorcerer's Stone because only for first years) -Transfiguration

Spoiler Alert: In Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix; Severus Snape used the S P E L L Legilimancy to read through Harry's Mind in order to prepare him for Lord Voldemort's liking of torturing his victims into Madness as so said by Severus Snape before the lesson began.

I think thats enough to prove the difference.

I rest my case — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.3.142 (talk) 23:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Diffindo
I totally agree that Diffindo "severs the target", but that's what other spells do, isn't it? The question is just what it does, I don't have the Goblet of Fire at hand to check. But i'd say it rips things apart? --AmiUhle 14:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC) Note: If anyone tries to follow anything Harry Potter from the video games...then don't.  In the CoS video game, you learn Diffindo from Professor Sprout, which of course Diffindo would be considered a Herbology spell..in the game, it destroys thick vines in your path...of course, in The Half Blood Prince, Arthor Weasley used it to bust the boards loose on the Dursley's fireplace...I say it causes a small explosion of whatever you aim the spell at
 * Actually, Arthur does not use a verbal spell to bust out of the Dursley's fireplace. I would say that it is a severing charm, specifically one that makes slashes or cuts, which we see when Hermione accidentally cuts Ron's knee in the Deathly Hallows when trying to free him from rope bindings. Also, the only other spell that is similar to this would be 'Relashio', which forces an object to open or release something, also seen in the Deathly Hallows. Sneezygirl (talk) 19:50, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

There is an error here...
"Sectumsempra

[...] Also used in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by Harry on Malfoy, which he is punished for with detention by Severus Snape (who, in fact, created the spell)."

"by Harry on Malfoy, which he is punished..."

Which he? "which is punished", maybe...

Anyway, as I did not reach the chapter, I'm not sure which is which, but I think this should be corrected...

Vlad 13:49, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Original Research
I removed "There is also speculation that the spell could have been first seen in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when Lucius Malfoy gets angry at Harry Potter over the loss of his house elf that was supposed to serve his family. Malfoy could have spoken the first part "Avada", after which Dobby knocked him back. However, the subtitles for the movie say that Lucius said "Vera", so it is also possible that this incantation was never used until Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

Malfoy isn't stupid enough to try to kill Harry in front of Dumbledore, in public, in broad daylight. Plus, regardless, that's original research, which Wikipedia prohibits the publication of. Superm401 | Talk 21:57, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Added: Lucius Malfoy indeed says "Avada" before being hit by Dobby's power in the movie.

Finite Incantate/um
Appears twice, once as canon and once as non-canon!
 * Not anymore. :P
 * Merged into Cannon. The Computer Mutt 09:13, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Bat-Bogey Hex
I propose the "booger" comparison be removed. Granted, bogey is a British-slang term, but the same can easily be said for booger. If you have a British-slang with an American-slang equivelant on the page, that only helps British people or Americans. There should just be a NON-slang comparison for it. - Gerbon689 08:38, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Lumos and Lupin

 * Also, Lupin would likely have used some more powerful light spell to illuminate the compartment on the train when the Dementors had extinguished all the lights. Instead, the best he could manage was a handful of dim blue flames (PA5). The spell is included here in the interest of completeness, however.

In the, it is written as:

 * There was a soft, crackling noise, and a shivering light filled the compartment. Professor Lupin appeared to be holding a handful of flames

It doesn't mention the color of it anywhere, nor does it sound like the kind of light that lumos creates. --MacAddct1984 13:38, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Copyright Violation
Several of the spell descriptions seem to be taken word for word from The Harry Potter Lexicon despite their usage policy

Slug Vomiting Charm
There seems to be no indication that vomiting slugs was the desired effect that Ron wanted to produce, judging that it's his second year in school and that Ron isn't the most adept of wizards, it's very possible he had his mind set on another spell entirely.
 * ...Ron plunged his hand into his robes, pulled out his wand, yelling, "You'll pay for that one, Malfoy!" and pointed it furiously under Flint's arm at Malfoy's face. A loud bang echoed around the stadium and a jet of green light shot out of the wrong end of Ron's wand, hitting him in the stomach and sending him reeling backward onto the grass.

--MacAddct1984 23:39, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it was. We see that when Hermione says this when they are at Hagrid's cabin later that day: "That's a difficult curse to work at the best of times, but with a broken wand--". So, with this, we can see that this is an actual curse, that simply fired the wrong way. I'd also say this is further supported by Lockhart's attempt to obliviate the boys, and the spell still working, but shooting out the wrong end and exploding most of the tunnel. Sneezygirl (talk) 23:39, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

Fidelius Charm
What happens when the Secret-Keeper dies before revealing his secret? Is the secret revealed or forever concealed?
 * Simply put, we don't know. Since now this has happened, however, we will probably find out in the next book. You may also consider asking J.K.Rowling in a chat interview or some other way. Sinistro 09:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Avada Kedavra / Abracadabra / Hebrew
It looks to me like the Hebrew versions of both spells are exactly the same. I'm removing one until someone figures out what the other should be.

According to the caption in the CoS movie, Lucius Malfoy begins a spell "Vera," not Adavra.

'''Jason Isaac's voice says "AVADA" very clearly. The caption is incorrect.'''

Snape's spell on Dumbledore
HBP clearly mentions a flash of green light going out of Snape's wand after he said "Avada Kedavra". The last paragraph is therefore mistaken.
 * Yeah, which is why I removed it. It also said that the spell threw Dumbledore back and out the window. While the book is a little unclear about how the scene plays out, it just says he was lifted up in the air and then limp body ended up falling backwards and out the window -- MacAddct1984 15:20, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but there is controversy about whether or not snape actually used Avada Kedavra on Dumbledore or whether he actually used Levicorpus.

Pronunciation guides
Do we really need the pronunciation guides for some of the spells? Most, if not all, are pronounced exactly like they're spelled. If there are going to be pronunciation guides, can they at least be in the International Phonetic Alphabet so there's some level of continuity? For example, "ah", "uh", "o", and "er" can all be used to spell the same sound, when ə is both more accurate and less confusing than having four different spellings for the same sound. --Icarus 04:44, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Vera Verto
The spell's previous entry (a direct copy from The Harry Potter Lexicon) stated:

 * Fera Verto (FAIR-uh VAIR-to)
 * "fera" - L. wild beast + "verto" - L. transform
 * The spell transforms an animal into a cup or goblet.
 * Taught in second year Transfiguration in the CoS film
 * The subtitles indicate that this spell is written "Vera Verto," but this seems unlikely, since "vera" is completely unrelated to the spell while "fera" fits perfectly.

The presumption that the spell incantation actually given in the film (Vera Verto) is wrong (and instead must really be Fera Verto) is original research as well as uninformed. "Vera", far from being "completely unrelated", is very similar to verre, the French word for "glass" in both its "drinking vessel" and "material" senses. (Verre, in turn, is akin to Italian vetro and Latin vitro, which also mean "glass".)

"Fera" (from Latin for "wild animal/beast") being a "perfect fit" is arguable on a couple of points. The pertinent film scene clearly stated that the spell was "to turn animals into water goblets" --not just wild animals-- as demonstrated on Scabbers the rat. Also, spell incantations in HP have consistenly followed a pattern: The words of the incantation describe the spell's effect, while the spell's target is simply indicated with a wand gesture and only optionally verbalized. (For instance, "Accio" aimed at the object being summoned works as well as "Accio Firebolt" or "Accio Horcrux"; the same goes for "Reparo" and "Oculus Reparo".) Fera Verto, then, would seem insufficient or incomplete-- suggesting "to turn a (wild) animal" without describing what it is to be transfigured into (a glass? a teapot? a button?). Vera Verto, on the other hand, fits the pattern of an incantation that encapsulates in a word (or two) what its spell does.

Mercury McKinnon 08:00, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Memory Charm
I doubt this requires its own section, since we do know its incantation... Note: The incantation that Professor Lockhart said in Cos was "Obliviate", the memory charm to make Ron and Harry lose all their memories so he [Lockhart] could take the fame for finding the CoS

Page move
Was there any reason to move the page? Was there any discussion of that? I don't really like the new title, I think it's a bit long and klunky. I'm going to move it back, please don't move it again without discussing it here first. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 04:59, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm not going to after all, because it appears the page is getting broken up, and I don't want to take the time to deal with that right now. I still think this page name is a bit klunky. What should happen is that this page goes back to Canonical spells in the world of Harry Potter, and that the new sub-pages are broken out from that article and linked to from that article, rather than moving the entire article to Spells and spell-like magic in the world of Harry Potter and then doing the breakouts.Ëvilphoenix Burn! 05:04, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Capitalization
I started lowercasing all the instances of the word "spell" in section titles, as Wikipedia consistently used downstyle in titles, but then I noticed that even in the page titles the word "spell" seems to be capitalized. Is this a consistent style decision made somewhere? Why? —Brent Dax 19:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Page merge
Just wanted to say that I'm still on track, and will be merging in a couple of days. Real life got in the way for a bit, and it turned out that the end result needs some more work. --Kizor 21:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Levicorpus
The spell to hang people by their ankles.Allegedly invented by Severus Snape. It is canon. But I believe that’s impossible. James used Levicorpus on Snape in their 5th year. Advanced Potion Making isn’t on The booklist until 6th year.

Dennis Timbrell

Dennis Roy Timbrell (born November 13, 1946) is a politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) from 1971 to 1987, and was a Cabinet minister in the Progressive Conservative governments of Bill Davis and Frank Miller.

Background
Timbrell was born in Kingston, Ontario and educated at Woburn Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, Ontario and York University in Toronto. His brother Robert was an actor and performer, better known by the stage name Rusty Ryan.

Timbrell worked as a teacher before entering provincial politics, and served as an alderman in North York from January 1970 until September 1, 1972.

Provincial politics
Timbrell contested 1971 provincial election as a candidate for the PCs, and won election in the Toronto constituency of Don Mills. He was re-elected without difficulty in the campaigns of 1975, 1977, 1981 and 1985.

Cabinet
He became a minister without portfolio responsible for youth in the Davis government on February 26, 1974, and was named as minister of energy on January 15, 1975. On February 3, 1977, he was promoted to minister of health. After serving in this high-profile position for five years, he became minister of agriculture and food on February 13, 1982.

First leadership campaign
Following Davis's resignation as PC leader and as premier, Timbrell sought the party leadership at the January 1985 leadership convention. He positioned himself as a centre-right candidate, further to the right of Red Tory rivals Larry Grossman and Roy McMurtry, but not as far to the right as Frank Miller, and therefore the candidate best able to continue Davis' pragmatic, successful style of government. (In fact, many media pundits at the time referred to Timbrell as a "clone" of Davis; playing to this, some of Timbrell's supporters at the January 1985 convention wore buttons that depicted a caricature which morphed the facial features of both Davis and Timbrell into one person). Timbrell was the only candidate to favour eliminating rent controls during the campaign. His supporters included Keith Norton, Leo Bernier, Margaret Birch, Robert Eaton, Gordon Dean, Bob Welch and Norm Sterling.

Timbrell placed second on the first ballot, but was eliminated when he fell to third place on the second ballot, six votes behind Grossman who had the backing of McMurtry's campaign. Dr. John Balkwill in 1987 claimed that 30 to 40 Miller supporters were instructed by the Miller campaign to vote for Grossman on the second ballot to prevent him from advancing. Lou Parsons, a senior Miller adviser, later acknowledged, "We wouldn't have won it against Dennis [...] Our winning strategy was always to be against Larry ... and in the end we were lucky."

Timbrell reluctantly endorsed Grossman after the results were confirmed by a recount. He however did not bring enough delegates on the third ballot and that resulted in Miller's victory. He was retained in Miller's Cabinet as minister of municipal affairs and housing with responsibility for women's issues.

Second leadership campaign
The Progressive Conservative Party under Miller's leadership was reduced to a narrow minority government in the 1985 election. Following a cabinet shuffle on May 17, 1985, Timbrell retained his previous postings and was additionally appointed provincial secretary for resource development. Miller's government was defeated in the House in June, 1985. In opposition, Timbrell served as House leader of the Official Opposition and his party's critic for education and women's issues.

Miller resigned as leader, and the party called another leadership convention for November 1985. This contest was an extremely divisive struggle between Timbrell and Grossman, which exposed deep divisions in the party. A third candidate, Alan Pope, drew attention to the animosity between the candidates with his slogan, "Don't choose sides, choose Pope". Alan Eagleson was a co-chairman of Timbrell's campaign.

In this leadership race, Timbrell announced he would not support the full funding of Catholic schools (which had previously been agreed to by all parties in the legislature) unless amendments were put forward guaranteeing entry to non-Catholic teachers and students. Norm Sterling, an inveterate opponent of Catholic school funding, derided Timbrell's position as opportunistic and crossed over to Grossman.

Pope finished third on the opening ballot and some believed that he could have given Timbrell a second-ballot victory over Grossman, though Pope chose not to endorse either side. Grossman defeated Timbrell on the second ballot by nineteen votes, effectively ending Timbrell's career in provincial politics. He did not seek re-election in 1987, as his two unsuccessful leadership bids had left him with a debt of $250,000.

Despite no longer being an MPP, Timbrell was seen by many as the front runner to succeed Grossman in the 1990 Ontario PC Leadership Race, but he chose not to run, instead supporting the candidacy of Dianne Cunningham, who would eventually lose to Mike Harris.

Private sector career
Timbrell served as president of the Ontario Hospital Association from 1991 to 1995. He also served as a director of the St. Joseph's Health System (Sisters of St. Joseph, Morrow Park) from 1986 to 1988 and a director of the Toronto School of Theology from 1986 to 1992 and in 1997–2003 (vice-chairman from 1991 to 1993 and in 1997–2000, chairman from 2000 to 2003). He has served as a director of various corporations, including Cabot Trust, Confederation Leasing, Confederation Trust, Ontario Blue Cross, United Telemanagement (Canada) Corporation and Eco Power Solutions Inc.

From 2001 to 2005 Timbrell was engaged by the Ontario Ministry of Health to act as Supervisor of The Ottawa Hospital and then Investigator of The Niagara Health System and Hotel Dieu Hospital (St. Catharines) as well as Investigator of the Grand River and St. Mary's Hospitals in Waterloo Region. His work with the leadership of these hospitals resulted in renewed/revised mandates which emphasized the unique attributes of each institution while ensuring minimal overlap and with co-ordination of their respective areas of expertise. In Ottawa Timbrell oversaw the recruitment of a complete new Board of Governors, drawn from the vast region served by TOH; having dismissed the incumbent CEO of the Hospital, he appointed a new President from the ranks of the Senior Team and created the position of Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer.

All of the Hospitals for which Timbrell was Supervisor or Investigator have gone from strength to strength in the last twenty years. He was originally appointed by a PC Government and successfully continued his roles with a Liberal Government. In his earlier role as President of the OHA, he established a very productive relationship with NDP Health Minister (now Senator) Frances Lankin which contributed to significant improvements in Ministry programs and policies directly affecting all hospitals in Ontario.

Federal politics
In 1997 and again in 2000 Timbrell campaigned for a seat in the House of Commons as the federal Progressive Conservative candidate in the eastern Ontario riding of Prince Edward—Hastings In the 1997 federal election, Timbrell placed second to Liberal Lyle Vanclief, with 21.5% of the vote. In the 2000 election, Timbrell placed third with 20.3% of the vote.

Recognition
In 2006, Toronto City Council voted to name the community recreation centre, aquatic centre, library and child care facility, located at 29 St. Dennis Drive, Don Mills the "Dennis R. Timbrell Resource Centre in Flemingdon Park".

Timbrell has received the following forms of recognition:

1977 - Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal

1978 - Officer of The Order of St. John of Jerusalem

1992 - Canada Confederation 125 Medal

1993 - Knight of Malta

2012 - Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal
