"It was as though the broom was trying to buck him off."
— Description.[src]

A Hurling Hex (incantation unknown) is a hex that is used to cause broomsticks to vibrate violently in the air and try to buck their rider off.

History

1991

It is thought by some that, In 1991, Quirinus Quirrell cast a wordless and wandless version of this spell on Harry Potter's broom during his first Quidditch match. However, this is unlikely considering that he was described as jinxing the broom, not hexing it.

1993

"We've checked for most of the usual curses, but Professor Flitwick believes the broom might be carrying a Hurling Hex."
Minerva McGonagall.[src]

In 1993, Filius Flitwick suggested that Harry Potter's confiscated Firebolt might have been jinxed with this spell.
