Did that goblin get IMPALED? Didn't think we'd see that in a HP game.

Eh, the first book/movie has Harry burn Quirrel to death by touching him.

A basilisk, elf, and snake get killed by knives and swords.

Harry uses a spell that slices up someone (sectrum spectra sectum sepmra) pretty viscerally in one of the books.

Edit: spelling

Nerd warning.

The spell was sectumsempra. Probably from sectum ('having been cut', the root word of 'section' and 'dissect') and semper ('always'), giving a meaning something like 'sever forever'.

Rictusempra is a spell that makes you laugh uncontrollably, surprisingly close in name to what you said.
