"Somewhere above him, Hermione whispered, “Mobiliarbus!”. The Christmas tree beside their table rose a few inches off the ground, drifted sideways and landed with a soft thump right in front of their table, hiding them from view."
— Usage of this spell in the Three Broomsticks[src]

Mobiliarbus[1] was the incantation of a charm that enabled a witch or wizard to levitate a wooden target a few inches off of the ground and then move said object in any given direction.[1] It worked on trees[1] and wands.[2]

Known uses[]

On 18 December 1993, Hermione Granger used this spell to move a Christmas tree in the Three Broomsticks to hide Harry Potter, because Minerva McGonagall didn't know that Harry had snuck into Hogsmeade.[1]

Etymology[]

The Latin terms mobilis, meaning "movable", and arbor, meaning "tree".[3]
