"She had blasted a hole in the sitting-room floor. They fell like boulders, Harry still holding onto her hand for dear life, there as a scream from below and he glimpsed twomen trying to get out of the way as vast quantities of rubble and broken furniture rained all around them from the shattered ceiling."
Deprimo was the incantation of a charm used to blast holes in the ground. It was strong enough to shatter the floor of an entire room in a matter of seconds.[2]
↑Given that Harry's Potion class in the game is in between Harry becoming a seeker and before the troll rampage, this is the most accurate possible range, taking into account the faulty timeline of the game.
