Regular Human-Presence-Revealing Spell

The Human-presence-revealing Spell"A transcript of a web chat with J.K. Rowling" from The Leaky Couldron (Homenum Revelio) was a charm which revealed the presence of other humans in the surrounding environment. The spell indicated a body by a marker. It was also a variation of the Revelio Charm.
==Effect==
This spell created no flash of light when cast. When this spell was cast on a person it created an odd sensation. According to Harry Potter, it felt like "something was swooping low over him, immersing his body in its shadow".Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 21 (The Tale of the Three Brothers) 
==History==
During the 1988–1989 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Patricia Rakepick taught her fifth-year students this charm in Defence Against the Dark Arts, in preparation for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels that year.
It was used in 1991 and 1993 by Dumbledore, nonverbally, to detect Harry and Ron under the former's invisibility cloak.
On 1 August 1997, Hermione Granger used this spell at 12 Grimmauld Place after escaping pursuing Death Eaters Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle. 30 December 1997, Death Eaters Selwyn and Travers ambushed Lovegoods house and Travers used this spell to locate Harry Potter. It is possible that it was related to the spell Specialis Revelio, and it is very likely that the spell couldn't detect magical creatures such as house-elves, goblins, etc.
