Dear Hedwig, I have been studying my spell books over the summer and was interested in a particular spell known most commonly as the Doubling Charm. I wanted to use this spell to create a copy of my favorite broomstick but every time I scream "GERONIMO!" I get thrust forwards and I also hear what sounds like horses running very fast inside my head. It literally feels like a giant galloping on a massive horse is picking me up and throwing me into a wall. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Do you have any suggestions that can help me master this spell? ~Tired of being flung into walls
Dear Tired of being flung into walls, I have to admit that your particular problem has made me laugh until it hurt. Apparently you seem to be saying the incantation incorrectly, I believe the incantation you are looking for is Gemino. Perhaps you should get yourself a nice pair of glasses. Try saying "Gemino" from now on, I am willing to bet that your invisible giant will stop throwing you into walls. ~ Hedwig
