After reaching Hogwarts and selecting your house, you must start attending different classes taken by professors. Professor Hecat teaches defense against the dark arts, and she will teach a few essential spells including Expelliarmus. To learn the Disarming Charm, you need to complete Professor Hecat’s Assignment 2 once the quest is available. You have to complete the following objectives for Professor Hecat’s Assignment 2.

  • Successfully avoid 10 enemy attacks by dodge rolling
  • Cast Incendio on enemies five times

Incendio is the first spell Professor Hecat teaches your character, and you need to use this spell to fight different enemies around the world. Keep in mind that your Field Guide won’t assist with this quest, and you’ll need to find the enemies by traveling to different locations. Hogsmeade Village is a location you will visit during the story quest, so it is best to search for enemies nearby.
