Causes a surface to become slippery |
Glisseo is a charm that transfigures rough or rigid surfaces to become temporarily smooth and slippery. Hermione Granger used it to turn a staircase into a slide during the Battle of Hogwarts so that she, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley could avoid attacking Death Eaters.
It may also be the spell that transforms the stairs of the girls dormitories at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to prevent boys from entering.
