- "Aunt Petunia's masterpiece of a pudding, the mountain of cream and sugared violets, was floating up near the ceiling. On top of a cupboard in the corner crouched Dobby."
- — Description[src]
The Hover Charm (incantation unknown) was a charm which made the target hover in mid-air for a brief period of time.[1] It was one of the many lesser variations of the Levitation Charm,[3] and worked on both objects and people.

Behind the scenes[]
- Pottermore seems to give the spell a time limit; perhaps house-elves can only cast it for a certain amount of time before tiring, or perhaps the spell truly will only last fourteen seconds; the cause, however, is at present unknown.
- This spell and Levioso have curiously similar effects; it may be that the two are the same, or potential variants.
- In the film, Dobby moves the cake from the table over to Mason's wife's head, where he dumps it.
