Legilimency is, in the fictional realm of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, a branch of magic involving the practice of extracting emotions and memories from another person's mind, in a manner akin to "mind reading". This neologism was created by joining forms of the Latin words legens (reading) and mens (mind) with -mancy (which means divination).
Someone who practises Legilimency is known as a Legilimens. A skilled Legilimens would be easily able to detect truth or deception and would also be able to tell what a person was thinking or remembering. The art of closing one's mind off from magical intrusion is known as Occlumency.
