All right, I'm just being sappy, but I didn't know that JKR was so sappy too, and I just have to express such love for this here passage:
a) Give the incantation and b) describe the wand movement required to make objects fly.
Harry had a fleeting memory of a club soaring high into the air and landing loudly on the thick skull of a troll… smiling slightly, he bent over the paper and began to write.
If I'm not mistaken, that's Harry's first real nostalgia bout - and sharply contrasts with his earlier feelings about their adventures in the book. And it made me so sad, to look back on this innocent world...I felt like that line was out of her style, even. It was just very sappy by her standards, and you have to wonder if she just couldn't resist. I know I couldn't have.
