He doesn’t need to.
However, only certain spells define Harry as a wizard.
Throughout the series, Harry seems to like Accio’s efficiency.

It’s the first spell he attempts when trying to find something.
Losing air quickly, Harry uses Ascendio to shoot him out of the Black Lake.
Ascendio seems to pop up in the series exactly when Harry needs it.
Thinking quickly on his feet like this shows Harry’s fight or flight response.
Harry is never afraid to use Stupefy when dealing with a foe.

However, they don’t mention the spell.
Still, Harry does use Dissendium on screen, just way later inDeathly Hallows: Part 1.
It doesn’t work becausethe locket is a Horcruxand can only be destroyed by something impregnated with Basilisk venom.
The fourth movie in the Harry Potter franchise sees Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) returning for his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, along with his friends, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson). There is an upcoming tournament between the three major schools of magic, with one participant selected from each school by the Goblet of Fire. When Harry’s name is drawn, even though he is not eligible and is a fourth player, he must compete in the dangerous contest.
Dissendium seems to be used as an overall opening charm in the film series.
It’s one of the more useful spells he has under his belt.
Harry later learns that Snape is the Half-Blood Prince and that he created Sectumsempra.

Using Sectumsempra teaches Harry not to trust anything inked into a book he finds lying around Hogwarts… again.
You never know what dark magic could be lurking around forgotten items.
Harry is famous for using simple spells effectively for defensive purposes.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione search for Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes in their effort to destroy the Dark Lord as the final battle rages on at Hogwarts.
It makes him feel terrible.
After Snape chooses Draco as Harry’s opponent, the pair begin dueling.
True purpose aside, Rictusempra is a pretty impressive spell for a second-year student.

He would’ve won if Draco hadn’t summoned a snake.
The second installment of boy wizard Harry Potter’s adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
However, there’s something so classic about Reducto.
An orphaned boy enrolls in a school of wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world.
Harry rescues him by using the blast charm to free him.
InHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry teaches Reducto to Dumbledore’s Army.
Using Arania Exumai on a thousand spiders doesn’t exactly work either.

This is one of the best examples of Harry thinking on his feet with his spellcasting.
However, none can hold a candle to his incredibly powerful Patronus Charm.
However, Harry masters it within his first lesson.
As Harry Potter begins his sixth year at Hogwarts, he discovers an old book marked as “the property of the Half-Blood Prince” and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort’s dark past.
On only his second attempt, Harry produces a Patronus so good that it shocks Lupin.
Both he and Hermione are stunned that he conjured it.
Because of this, no one else deserves to teach the charm to Dumbledore’s Army more than Harry.

Then, Harry uses it again during his final battle with Voldemort.
However, this is never discussed in the films.
Instead, Harry uses the spell continuously and successfully, especially in his final duel with Voldemort.
The second installment of boy wizard Harry Potter’s adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A mysterious elf tells Harry to expect trouble during his second year at Hogwarts, but nothing can prepare him for trees that fight back, flying cars, spiders that talk and deadly warnings written in blood on the walls of the school.
Without any explanation, it’s clear why Harry chooses the charm as his signature.
Everyone he faces receives the brunt of his powerful, disarming spell, even Voldemort.
He doesn’t fuss about overcomplicated fancy spells but favors a classic instead.
