Charge

A charge is a kind of explosive material possibly invented by Seamus Finnigan. In 1998 Seamus and some other students planted some charges all over the Covered Bridge at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in order to bring it down during the Battle of Hogwarts in the hope that some Snatchers or Death Eaters would be killed while infiltrating the Castle.

Behind the scenes
In a Deleted Scene from the second part of the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Seamus and other students can be seen walking around the holdings of the Bridge and placing charges.
