The Banishing Charm is the countercharm to the Summoning Charm. As Accio summons objects to the caster, Depulso sends objects away.
Fourth year students studying Charms at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry learn this spell. Harry and his classmates practiced this spell in their fourth-year Charms class. Flitwick found himself being Banished around the room by Neville, whose aim wasn't very good.

Behind the scenes
- Although the incantation is not revealed in the books, it appears in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
- The Wizard in the Wizard and the Hopping Pot may have used this spell to try to force the pot out of the house.
Etymology
From the Latin “depulsio”, meaning “driving away”. Also is similar to repulse meaning "drive away with force". It could also be seen to be derived from the English word pulse (as in a pulse of energy.) and the prefix "de" which would make it mean "a negative pulse of energy."
