Type: Charm
Pronunciation: en-GOR-jee-oh
Description: Causes the target to swell in physical size. Its counter-charm is the Shrinking Charm.
Seen/Mentioned: Rubeus Hagrid used this spell on his pumpkins in 1992; two years later, Barty Crouch Jr cast this spell on a spider to make it easier for students to see when he cast a curse on it. Used on another spider three years later to test a new wand.
Etymology: The English word engorge means "swell".
Notes: There is much speculation that this spell is the same as the Growth Charm, though this cannot be proven. Note that there is a difference between enlarging and engorging something, similar though they may seem.
