A speech impediment is a disorder where an individual cannot speak normally, resulting in stuttering, cluttering, or lisps.[2] In the wizarding world, a speech impediment could significantly restrict one's ability to perform spells due to the mispronunciation of certain incantations.[1]

History[]

Wizard Baruffio had a speech impediment, causing him to mispronounce 's' as 'f' and accidentally conjure a buffalo on his chest.[3]
