Werewolves and Magic

Apr 18, 2011 19:05

I know that there is some evidence in canon that werewolves are immune to certain types of magic (from my own memory of canon and also from reading the only other post about werewolves in the archives), but is there any evidence as to what types of magic they would be immune to?

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any. What there is points towards resistance to more physical spells, like Stunners (similar to Hagrid and dragons).

Thank you. That's pretty much what I was thinking (and thankfully works for the plot point I was developing).

Is that transformed or non-transformed werewolves? The only time we see a transformed werewolf is Remus in PoA; Sirius turns into a dog to control him despite having a wand (Snape's) available, which suggests that the wolf form is resistant to Stunners and basic spells of that kind. The only occasions I can think of where we see a non-transformed werewolf hit with something is Greyback in DH (from Bella at Malfoy Manor and Hermione and Ron/Seamus in the battle), and he doesn't seem to have any special resistance. As for Dark Magic spells, nothing much to say either way, really.

Non-transformed, definitely. I didn't think there was much in the way of solid evidence either way, but it's definitely good to double-check, right? Thanks for the help :D
