    The punchline doesn’t actually sound like a Harry Potter spell. Just look at the downvotes on this thing. It’s a good try but comes up short.

        No funny accent. I know Harry Potter well. Also not trolling.

        All of the Harry Potter spells are Latin or of Latin origin. The punchline isn’t. This is why I feel the joke falls flat and I suspect this is why the joke is so heavily downvoted.

        Also aside from the flying car (which Ron drives), Harry never actually drives or owns a vehicle.
