Talk:Legilimency

"This is seen quite impressively in the sixth book, when he blocks every single spell before Harry can finish it. It seems, though, that a duel against such powerful Legilimentes can only be successful through an equally proficient use of Occlumency."

Using non-verbal spells would help, however, since it would take split seconds away from the Legilimens ability to know what spell is being cast. In HBP, Snape yells at Harry, "Blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, Potter!" (Ch. 28 Flight of the Prince)

RFC - "Legilimency" or "Legilimency and Occlumency"??
I've merged the old Legilimency and Occlumency articles together, as there isn't much verifiable information for either. I've put them both at "Legilimency", redirecting Occlumency to it. But do people think it would be better to have the combined page at "Legilimency and Occlumency", and have both pages redirect to it? Happy-melon 09:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Shield charms and legilimency
In the article, it is mentioned that legilimency can be blocked by a shield charm; however, doesn't the shield charm also reverse the spell, causing the shield charm caster to see the memories of the legilimens? That's what happened in the Order of Pheonix when Harry casted the shield charm in Snape's lesson. Shmooshkums 18:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you're right. However, given that this particular ship is leaking like a seive and is going to sink in a day or so (see the AfD), I'm not in any rush to correct it.  Happy-melon 19:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
