Luna, you're brilliant.

And you need to teach the rest of us that spell. It's the sort of thing that might even serve to distract Auror Crouch. (Briefly. And then he'd kill you, wet pants or no.)

Well yes, Mr Shacklebolt did take me aside and warn me about that. He admitted that it did work, quite well, really. In fact, he said that he can't even remember the last time someone made him drop his own wand out of sheer surprise.

But he said that the humiliating nature of the spell could make it very dangerous to use. If we ever have to fight against someone like Bellatrix Lestrange Barty Crouch or Lana Sandoval, they're accustomed to being contemptuous of their opponents. If you do something like this, which shames them and insinuates that they're babies, then he thinks their reaction would be to simply go into a rage, with no holds barred. Avada Kedavra, probably. Or, he suggested, they might think it poetic justice to react with something like the entrail-expelling curse, which is really nasty, painful and fatal.

So we should only use if we think it would be such a huge surprise that escape would be certain.
