This is the tale of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), an ordinary eleven-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the groundskeeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer.

Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

As the introduction to the wonderful world of witchcraft and wizardry, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the embodiment of the franchise’s starry-eyed adventure. It follows Potter as he befriends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) during his first year at Hogwarts. As such, plenty of the film’s spells have become iconic, from the Unlocking Charm, Alohomora, to the petrifying Petrificus Totalus. However, it is undoubtedly Wingardium Leviosa that many fans know best.

Made famous by Ron’s mocking “It’s Levi-O-sah, not Levio-SA,” the levitation charm is taught to first-year students in Charms class and is quickly mastered by Hermione to her classmate’s frustration. While Rupert Grint’s hilarious line delivery will live long in the minds of fans, the spell spawns a moment that encapsulates the loving but occasionally tempered relationship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione. As such, it is the perfect incantation to describe their blossoming bond and define the first film.
