Seize and Pull Charm

Carpe Retractum is a charm that creates a retractable magical rope of sorts. This can be used to pull objects within a controlled distance or pull the caster towards the object they affix the charm to. It is usually used for inanimate objects.



In the game version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Carpe Retractum was Ron Weasley's specialty, meaning that he was the only one that could perform the spell. In the succeeding game, however, Harry Potter can use it as well.

Etymology
