In the graveyard Voldemort threw a couple of spells Harry's way. He started with Cruciatus curse (physical torture) and followed up with an Imperius curse (enables total control over the other person's actions). Harry cast Expelliarmus(disarming). At the same time Voldemort cast Avada Kedavra(killing curse). In the very first book we learned that Voldemort and Harry had wand cores from the same source. This source was Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes. This made the wands "brothers" and they would not destroy each other's owners. Instead of the spells being cast, a magical effect (not a spell) called Priori Incantatem occurred. The two wands were connected by a golden beam of energy with a bead flowing in the beam. It basically came down to a battle of wills pushing the bead through the beam. When Harry was able to will the bead to Voldemort's wand, it caused his past spells to start spilling from his wand. Since the last several spells Voldemort had cast successfully were murder, ghost-like echoes of his victims burst out. Voldemort was taken aback just long enough for Harry to reach Cedric's body and the portkey for an escape.

Harry first uses a wand when he is in Ollivander's wand shop and then again in his Charms class when he is learning Wingardium Leviosa, however we don't actually see him successfully use the spell.
The first time Harry uses an actual spell is in chapter fifteen of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when he sends red sparks into the air to tell Rubeus Hagrid he had found something in the forest.
Harry Potter's first spell is Wingardium Leviosa which he learns in Charms class.
In the film and the book it is Serpensortia.
you only use counter curses for curses. The most common spell blocking spell is Protego.
You need to say "dissendium"
Harry Potter's patronus takes the shape of a stag, the animagus and patronus form of his father. The Patronus spell is used against Dementors but can also be used as a method of communication.
In Harry Potter, the spell "Reducto" essentially breaks it. For example, in Order of the Phoenix, Parvati Patil reduces a table to ashes, while Harry uses it in GOF to break apart the hedges in the maze. It basically damages it, depending on the object you use it on.
