- "Red, white and blue sparks are currently so thick in the air that it is both difficult to breathe or see."

Blue sparks (incantation unknown) was a charm that precipitated a jet of blue sparks from the tip of the wand.[2] It could also be used offensively as a minor duelling spell.[3] When conjured in large quantities, it was difficult to see or breathe when in the vicinity.[1]
History
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Filius Flitwick taught this charm to sixth year students in Charms class.[4]
The Order of the Phoenix had initially planned to use these as signals for the Advance Guard when rescuing Harry Potter in August 1995,[2] but eventually decided against it, using red and green instead.
Following the American National Quidditch team's win at the semi-finals of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup against Liechtenstein, red, white and blue sparks filled the air so thickly it was difficult to see or breathe.[1]
