WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA
(Based on Harry Potter and the
Philosopher´s Stone.)
Professor Flitwick announced in Charms that first year students were ready to make an object fly. The
teacher put them in pairs to practise. Harry worked with Seamus Finnigan. Ron worked with Hermione
Granger. Ron was very angry. Hermione didn´t speak to any of them because of the broomstick incident.
PROFESSOR FLITWICK: DON´T FORGET THAT NICE MOVEMENT.
Standing, as usual, on a pile of book, he showed the movement and he said;
PROFESSOR FLITWICK: SWISH AND FLICK, REMEMBER, SWISH AND FLICK!
It was very difficult. Harry and Seamus swished and flicked but the feather that was supposed to fly to the
sky, was on the desk.
PROFESSOR FLITWICK: SWISH AND FLICK, SWISH AND FLICK! AND SAY WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA
STUDENTS: WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA
Ron was impatient. He flicked and flicked and flicked. The feather didn´t move.
HERMOINE: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! YOU WILL HURT SOMEBODY! YOU ARE NOT SAYING IT RIGHT! IT´S LEVIOSA!
NOT LEVIOSAAAA
RON: YOU DO IT! GO AHEAD! DO IT!
HERMIONE: WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA
The feather started to drift in the air.
PROFESSOR FLITWICK: WELL DONE, MISS GRANGER. WELL DONE! CONGRATULATIONS!
Ron felt he wanted to hit something. All the other children kept trying.
STUDENTS: WINGGUARD LEVIOSA!
Suddenly there were booms, blasts and bangs. Seamus face was black with smoke.
HARRY POTTER: WE NEED A NEW FEATHER!!!
