"Liberacorpus" redirects here.

Levicorpus is a jinx invented by the Half-Blood Prince. It can be performed nonverbally and causes its target to be hoisted upside-down in the air by his or her ankle until the countercurse, Liberacorpus, is performed. The most likely etymology for the name is that Levi comes from levitate and corpus is Latin for body.

On Christmas of 1996, Lupin relates that the spell was especially popular as a prank at Hogwarts during his fifth year, claiming that "there were a few months... when you couldn't move for being hoisted by your ankle" (HpB).
