This dog responds to Harry Potter spells and it is totally magical

Keeley Ryan

We definitely reckon he’ll pass his O.W.L.S.

Someone has trained their dog to respond to Harry Potter spells as commands and it is totally enchanting.

Remus, a longhaired mini dachshund, went viral earlier this year when after a video of him responding to the magical commands was shared on Twitter.

And he has cast a love spell on social media users (and us, to be honest).

He lies down (Stupefy), stands up (Wingardium Leviosa), plays dead (Avada Kedavra) and even sits veeeeery still (Immobulus), all in response to certain spells.

He even knows Alohamora and Lumos (and Nox, naturally).

The little pup, who shares the same name as Hogwarts’ Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Lupin, is even wearing a grey jumper and Gryffindor tie throughout the video.

Los Angeles-based actor and YouTuber Anna Brisbane captioned the video of her adorable dog:

“oh, you trained your dog in German? coolcoolcool. i trained my dog in Harry Potter spells.”

The almost-two-minute video has been viewed more than six million times since it was first posted on January 7.

And, needless to say, Harry Potter fans went wild for the video.

Remus also has his own Instagram account, which you can find here.
