The Seize and Pull Charm^[1][2] (Carpe Retractum) is a charm that creates a retractable, magical rope. This can be used to pull objects within a certain distance towards the caster, or to pull the caster towards whatever they affix the spell to. It is generally used on inanimate objects, although it can be used on plants or animals.

Etymology

From Latin carpe, meaning "seize", and the English word retract, which means "pull or draw in".

Behind the scenes

• In the PC version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game), this was Ron's specialty, meaning that he was the only one who could cast it, whereas it was Harry's in the console versions; in the succeeding game, all of the trio can use it.
• In the PC version of Prisoner of Azkaban, the spell appeared purple, while in the other console versions, it was golden.

Appearances
