Throws opponent backwards |
Everte Statum is a spell that can send an opponent flying backwards. Draco Malfoy used this spell against Harry Potter in 1992 at the Duelling Club. A similar effect occured when Lord Voldemort, enraged by Bellatrix Lestrange's death at the hands of Molly Weasley, blasted McGonagall, Shacklebolt, and Slughorn backward.
[edit] Etymology
The use of the Latin word 'Everte' backs this up as it basically means 'to throw out' and “statua”, meaning “image”. The spell can also be "Averte Statim' as in Latin 'Averte' means 'Go away' and 'Statim' 'Immediately'. There have been some arguments about the true incantation.
