"Now, don't forget that nice wrist movement we've been practicing! Swish and flick! And saying the magic words properly is very important, too - never forget Wizard Baruffio, who said 's' instead of 'f' and found himself on the floor with a buffalo on his chest."
—Professor Flitwick in Charms Class
Charms is a subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It teaches general spells and wandwork, including such spells as Wingardium Leviosa, Accio and Aguamenti. Spells taught in this class are typically refered to as "charms," though this term can describe a miriad of spells.
Professor Filius Flitwick was head of Charms for many years. It was rumoured that his expertise with charmwork made him a dueling champion. Though mastering the science of charmwork is clearly essential to performing the greater part of magic, charmwork is seen as a "softer option" by some such as Augusta Longbottom who, incidentally, failed her Charms O.W.L..
Filius Flitwick, Professor of Charms.Charms is a required subject for all students in their first five years at Hogwarts. The spells learned in Charms class are taken from textbooks. Students are taught specific wand movements and proper pronounciation. Often students partner up in class to experiment on one another.
Charms was Hermione Granger's favorite subject until she started Arithmancy in 1993.
