Both this spell and Expulso share similar effects, though - unlike the latter - Confringo is sometimes accompanied by fiery explosions.

Immediately after this instance, Voldemort also casted several Blasting Curses at Harry as he jumped into a corridor and escaped Voldemort's wrath. This fails in that the spells bounces off Nagini, due to her magical protection, and instead strikes multiple Death Eaters, though they were only knocked over and otherwise seemed undamaged by the explosive spell.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Harry uses the Blasting Curse against Nagini in an attempt to kill her and possibly to provoke Voldemort to chase Harry, so the snake would stay behind unprotected.

Though it did not burn them and simply knocked them down, leaving them incapacitated.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Professor McGonagall possibly uses the Blasting Curse to duel against Snape (just in case this is not the Blasting Curse, it is referred to as the Fiery offensive spell), defeating Amycus and Alecto Carrow in the process.

This curse may have been the cause of the explosion which killed Fred Weasley during the Battle of Hogwarts.

It was possible that this was the curse used by a Death Eater to kill Benjy Fenwick, as he was blasted into pieces and fellow members of the Order of the Phoenix only managed to find bits of his body.

The Ministry gave an excuse of a 'gas leak' to the surviving Muggles, and thought that Black was the one who used the curse. The explosion was so fierce, it left a massive crater in the street, with the pipes showing.

Pettigrew likely used an extremely powerful Blasting Curse to decimate a street and kill twelve Muggles at once in London, while evading Sirius Black, who was blamed for the crimes and Pettigrew's alleged death.

Hermione used it in an attempt to kill Nagini and facilitate her and Harry's escape from Bathilda Bagshot's house in Godric's Hollow, but broke Harry's wand in the process. Harry used this curse to destroy Sirius Black's flying motorcycle's side-car during the Battle of the Seven Potters. Jacob's sibling used this spell whilst practising duelling with their Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Patricia Rakepick. Used this spell to blast and incapacitate Ben Copper in the Clock Tower Courtyard, after he attacked Jacob's sibling, Rowan Khanna and Charlie Weasley while disguised as R's messenger. Taught this curse to Jacob's sibling whilst training them to prepare for the Cursed Vaults, and previously used this spell against them to help them master the Shield Charm. She used this curse to defeat Samson Wiblin in the All-England Wizarding Duelling Competition. ' Hermione screamed, вЂConfringo!вЂ™ and her spell flew around the room, exploding the wardrobe mirror and ricocheting back at them, bouncing from floor to ceiling Harry felt the heat of it sear the back of his hand.' - Hermione using this curse against Nagini in Bathilda Bagshot's home Caster(s)
