Levicorpus is a spell that causes the target to flip upside down and dangle by the ankle so that he hangs in mid-air. The curse often tends to be used more for comedy, especially during duels or pranks, but it can be used to disorient or incapacitate an opponent. For instance, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy uses it against Harry, which helps the reader understand how to apply it in a high-action battle scenario. In Fantastic Beasts, though the spell has not yet appeared, some elements of levitation and the manipulation of physical objects have been explored through spells interacting with magical creatures, and environments to hint at the broader magical application of such charms.
