"Ka-boom! The cell door rockets to the sky."
— Description[src]

Bombarda is the incantation of a charm used to provoke small explosions; one use for this explosion is to blast open sealed doors or to blow bars off of windows. The incantation Bombarda Maxima is a stronger, more powerful variation of this spell.

Etymology

The incantation is Portuguese or Spanish for "bombard" or "blast"[1]; in Latin, the spell means "cannon" or "bomb"[2]
