"God Save the Queen"[3] (alternatively, "God Save the King" when there is a male monarch) is a hymn used as the national anthem of the United Kingdom.[4]

History[]

It was famously performed by Jarleth Hobart along with several speeches, just before to his "maiden flight" on 16 July, 1544 – a public demonstration of his self-invented Levitation Charm on himself. He climbed onto the roof of his local church and leapt and, having cast the spell, was left hovering in mid-air. At first, he seemed to have succeeded but, apparently, he did not.[1]

In a Defence Against the Dark Arts class in 1994, Dean Thomas hopped around the classroom three times while singing this song after being put under the Imperius Curse by Bartemius Crouch Junior (disguised as Alastor Moody).[2]
