Wingardium Leviosa

Wingardium Leviosa is the Levitation Charm. The swish and flick, and the pronunciation, are the point of Professor Flitwick’s first-year lesson. Hermione’s correction of Ron’s wording is what sends him complaining out of the Hallowe’en feast, just before she faces the mountain troll and levitates its club.
