    As for making invisible people visible?

    A powder that seeks out warm surfices. Throw the powder far enough and it sticks to the next best target. Equally just counter it by setting something near on fire...

    Of the plot variety

    Edit: I see I'm not going to have a problem with that.

    Maybe use the same spell Snivellus did in Prisoner of Azkaban:

    "REVEAL YOUR SECRET!"

    Seriously? That was a spell that he expected to work on a piece of parchment? Quite the genius, apparently.

    Well maybe it makes the invisible, visible once again.

    Paint, water, fire, rain, dust, powder, etc... wide areas coat invisible folks.

    Some sort of "Opacity" charm? But that might also turn Harry's glasses black and then he couldn't see at all.

    If you're meaning transparency of your plot, practice makes perfect, rewrite everything you right until it works for you, then rewrite it till it works for everyone else.

    Try a cutting curse that looks like a scythe (like the laser in Resident Evil), not guarenteed to make them visible but it won't really matter by then. Or if you're againt an invisibility cloak just usee accio.

    Maybe he was casting the spell wordlessly and only said 'Reveal your secrets' for show. ^_^

    Use napalm. Toss a canister of that stuff up into the air and set it off. Bam, everything is covered in a sticky petrol-based goo and watch as your invisible intruder is burned alive.

    Send them a message using your Patronus and aim your curses where it stops/disappears.

    Aim at the only thing with a human shadow!!!!!11

    >_> Look in the direction the cliche' diabolical laughter is comming from... or mabey the sound of sqeaky boots.

    If that don't float your boat send a nice good old exploding hex at the roof before apperating away. Don't matter then.
