"...Mrs Weasley, rapping a large iron pot with her wand. It bounced onto the stove with a loud clang and began to bubble at once... She tapped the pot again; it rose into the air, flew toward Harry, and tipped over; Mrs Weasley slid a bowl neatly beneath it just in time to catch the stream of thick, steaming onion soup."

Food-related charms (incantation unknown) were a branch of charms related to the magical preparation of food.^[1]

History[]

Helga Hufflepuff was noted for her skill in food-related charms, and many of her recipes were still in use at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s.^[1] Queenie Goldstein was shown to be very talented in this branch of magic, preparing meals nonverbally.^[2]

Molly Weasley was also an expert at food-related charms, to the point where her son Ron was under the impression she could create good food from nothing (a magical impossibly, in actuality).^[3] Hermione Granger, despite being well versed with most spells and charms, was not particularly good at this sort of magic, which led to some difficulties during her, Ron, and Harry's hunt for Horcruxes.^[4]

Jae Kim was gifted at food-related charms and cooking in general, and in the 1989–1990 school year school year, he used a charm in order to replicate the taste of Molly Weasley's fudge.^[5]

Known practitioners[]

"She waved her wand over her shoulder; a loaf of bread and a knife soared gracefully onto the table; as the loaf sliced itself and the soup pot dropped back onto the stove, Mrs Weasley sat down opposite him."
