honestly I don't blame harry for using expelliarmus all the time, especially in battles.

Why would I learn 50 different complex spells that if I did improperly could potentially cause damage to me and everything around me so if I want to use those spells I have to be able to do it in my sleep when I can learn 1 easy spell that solves nearley all of my problems.

Harry, 1992: oh, neat spell!

Harry, 1995: oh, really neat spell!

Harry, 1997: heyy, just bc I love this spell doesn't mean you should use that against me :/

Harry, 1998: HA, this spell IS the best, and all your wands are MINE now, bitches!

The Expelliarmus spell, known as the Disarming Charm, has been a staple of dueling and defense in the magical world for centuries. By the late 14th century, circa 1379, the spell had become not only a practical tool but also a cultural phenomenon, influencing both magical practice and wizarding fashion.

In the 1370s, magical dueling was a prominent activity in Europe, and wizards were developing more refined techniques for both offense and defense. The Expelliarmus charm, with its ability to disarm opponents without causing significant harm, gained popularity as a more honorable way of resolving disputes, compared to darker or more destructive spells. Its non-lethal nature aligned with the period’s growing emphasis on chivalry and fair play within the dueling community.

Around 1379, Expelliarmus began to shape wizarding fashion as well. The spell’s association with quick reflexes and precision led to the development of dueling robes that were tailored for agility and style. These robes featured intricate designs that symbolized a wizard’s dueling prowess, often incorporating motifs like wands, lightning bolts, or even stylized representations of a wand being flung from an opponent’s hand — an homage to the Disarming Charm.

Additionally, accessories such as lightweight gloves, often enchanted to improve grip and spellcasting speed, became popular among duelists. These gloves were sometimes embroidered with runes or magical symbols that hinted at a duelist’s preference for defensive spells, including Expelliarmus. Wearing such attire signaled not just skill in magic but also a commitment to the ethos of clean, fair combat.

Expelliarmus’ rise in fashion and prominence around 1379 marked an important period in magical history, where elegance and honor were just as valued in duels as raw magical power. It cemented its place as an iconic spell, one that continues to represent both self-defense and moral high ground in the magical world to this day.

Fun fact if you didn't know. You can use expelliarmus on poacher executioner with their fire and electric spell to use it against them!

Snape’s first casted spell on screen is Harry’s future signature

It’s probably just a silly thought but I find it almost poetic that the first spell we see Snape cast with his wand in the second movie was “Expelliarmus” since it will become Harry’s signature later.
