"Professor Umbridge opened her handbag, extracted her own wand, which was an unusually short one, and tapped the blackboard sharply with it; words appeared on the board at once"
— Description.[src]

This spell (incantation unknown) is a spell used to cause words to appear on a blackboard.

History

1995-1996 school year

Severus Snape and Dolores Umbridge both used this spell multiple times throughout the 1995-1996 school year to write instructions on their blackboards.

Known Practitioners

Behind the Scenes

  • In the Order of the Phoenix film, Umbridge brandished her wand from across the room to cause chalk-like writing to appear on the board as if an invisible chalk was writing on it. The sound of chalk writing could even be heard while the words appeared.
  • It is possible that this is the Locomotion Charm.
  • This spell seems to variate according to its caster's ability, as Severus only needed a single flick of his wand while Dolores tapped the blackboard sharply.[1]
