"Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's Leviosa, not Leviosar."
The title of this article intentionally uses incorrect spelling or grammar, or American English, or a different language, as this is how it is stylised in a canonical source. Any attempt to change the title to its "correct" spelling or grammar, or British English, or from the original language to English will be reverted, unless another canonical source stylises it correctly. |
A Penny Farthing (properly spelt penny-farthing) is a type of old-fashioned bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel.[1] The second question on the first W.O.M.B.A.T. asked to which Ministry of Magic department, if any, one would report a friend who owned — but never rode — a Muggle Penny Farthing enchanted by her grandmother to "skim an inch above the ground" and "[achieve] speeds of over 100mph." The correct answer to this question was presumably "none of the above", as a law exists to legalize the ownership of otherwise illegal enchanted objects so long as they are not used.[2]
