"This charm is a historically famous one, and there are a number of recorded instances of famous witches and wizards using - or attempting to use - it. Does anyone know about any of these instances?"

OOC: There are plenty of examples of Diffindo being used in both HP canon and SS canon, but please list only one so others can get a chance to mention something new.

Lara paused trying to remember where she had heard of this spell before. It didn't take her long as she remembered that it was her brother who told her about it for some reason ,she raised her hand and answered "Harry Potter used it to break the ice when he retrieved the sowrd of Gryffindor" she put down her hand waithing for the Professor.

She hoped her brother was sre of this piece of information though, but he usually is so there's nothing to be worried about.
