The Charms Practice Hall has been sectioned into two for the Charms Final, divided by a wall that contains a cut-out door. You enter, and see that the side you can see has been set up like a regular classroom. Desks and chairs are arranged in neat rows. On each desk, there is a copy of the theoretical portion of the exam.

Text Cut: Theoretical exam

• Define a charm for three marks.
  
• Discuss the differences between the Disillusionment Charm and the Bedazzling Hex for four marks.
  
• The incantation Luxra magnifica is derived from two languages. Discuss your thoughts on the roots of the incantation [the languages you think it might have been derived from, and the reason you think so] for five marks.
  
• In the last Charms lesson of the term, it was discussed that the things muggles label the 'paranormal' or 'supernatural,' can sometimes be witches and wizards utilizing Disillusionment Charms, Invisibility Cloaks, Bedazzling Hexes and the like. Make up a story that illustrates this point for sevenmarks.

Extra credit:

• Suggest some charms you'd like to learn next term, or would have liked to learn this term for three marks.

Once you've finished the theoretical bit, the instructions on the board direct you to turn over your parchment, and pass through the door, into the other portion of the Hall. Professor Descoteaux is seated here, looking a tad lazy as he reads a book. There are three stations set up at the front of the place. On each station, there is an object and a sheet of instructions.

The first station bears a plastic teacup. Three feet above this station, there is a small bucket, suspended in midair. The instructions given are: Change the teacup into a ball. Then levitate it and drop it into the bucket.

Two small balls are jumping up and down on the second station. There is a new-ish looking cardboard box, open, at the foot of this station. The instructions read: Freeze one of the balls, and banish the second into the box.

The last station houses a fair-sized, charmed lantern that is glowing visibly, despite the fact that the room is well-lit. The instructions read: Expand and reduce the range of the light of the lantern. Then make it appear 'invisible.'

Remember to use only charms that you have been taught this term, at all of the stations.
