- "I don't reckon it can be done. There's nothing. Nothing. Closest was that thing to dry up puddles and ponds, that Drought Charm, but that was nowhere near powerful enough to drain the lake."
- — Ronald Weasley helping Harry Potter research for the second task in the Triwizard Tournament[src]
The Drought Charm (incantation unknown) was a charm used to dry up small bodies of water, such as puddles and ponds. It was not powerful enough to work on larger bodies of water, such as lakes.[1][2]
History[]
Jacob's sibling demonstrating this charm in class
- "Welcome back to Charms class. Today we will discuss the Drought Charm. A clever way to prevent getting your shoes soaked by a puddle. It's ineffective to against larger bodies of water, so don't try to empty a lake. With the Drought Charm, watch as we turn water into... well, nothing."
- — Professor Flitwick to sixth-years[src]
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Filius Flitwick taught his sixth-years how to cast this particular charm in Charms class.[2]
Ron Weasley discovered this charm while helping his friend Harry Potter look for a way to get through the Second Task of the 1994–1995 school year Triwizard Tournament, but decided against using it, as it would be ineffective against the Black Lake.[1]
