::New info from ''Pottermore'': the Hover Charm's [http://www.pottermore.com/en/book2/chapter2/moment2/hover-charm entry] implies that it is a separate spell. Note that it is described as making objects "hover", whereas ''Wingardium Leviosa'' is almost always described as making objects "fly". I think a split is in order. -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User_talk:1337star|Drop me a line!]])</sup> 20:30, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

1337star's comment about ''Wingardium Leviosa ''always being described as making the target fly made me wonder... is it possible that this is the [[Flying spell]] mentioned in [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]? I thought it made sense, since they both make the target fly, and presumably if you cast ''Wingardium Leviosa ''on a broomstick it'll float if you want it to, and such, and even though it wouldn't be just like a normal flying broomstick, it'd be similar.

Revision as of 15:52, 16 July 2012

Picture

The hoover charm is Wingardium Leviosa, isn´t it? But I think the picture shown in the article is Levicorpus--Rodolphus 20:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


I´ve removed all Levicorpus mentions now. Can´t anyone upload a moving image OFthe levitating feather in film 1?--Rodolphus 14:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Used

This spell was used non-verbally in the duel between Dumbeldore and Voldemort when Dumbeldore formed a dome of water around Voldemort he "levitates" the water it says in the article or was that another spell???

Link

I corrected a missing link for "Harry Potter" just a minor edit, but I wanted to fix it. =) GinnyPi 02:41, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Levioso

The first source used in the article is from the Warner Bros. website, but the page on that website clearly refers to the Levioso (Levitation spell). It says that Levioso originated in England and so. (You can read it by yourself.)

So, since the source talks about the Levioso spell, I don't understand why is misused in this way. Even if we never heard of this spell in both the books and the films, the official website of the films should be considered canon. Can't we just create a page for Levioso and move the proper information there? --EXE.eseguibile 16:35, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Name

Both Pottermore and Wonderbook: Book of Spells refer to this spell as the Levitation Charm. Both use information straight from Rowling. Should we change the name, or should we wait for Chamber of Secrets on Pottermore and see how, if at all, it covers this issue? -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 23:02, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

I'm for changing the name. It is the most recent source we're talking about, and it unquestionably had Rowling's input. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:26, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
