Whether this is due to the nonverbal being deflected in some way or an actual attack by Snape is not clear in the book.   My personal take is the deflection, powerful parry.

First he deflects the spell or spells and then he fires a spell that knocks Harry off his feet--you can see the spell if you pause the video in the right place--just as in the book.

Carol:
I agree, actually. I have a bit of a grudge against Witherwings/Buckbeak for attacking our Severus even though, of course, he didn't know that Severus was a good guy. I just meant that the audience is likely to perceive Snape as a "murderin' traitor," to borrow Hagrid's equally mistaken description of Sirius Black, and that I can imagine them cheering at that point--if, indeed, the filmmakers bring Buckbeak back into the story, which they probably won't do. (I did like the CGI for Buckbeak in PoA, but that incident isn't important enough for him to be brought back in, and I argee that "exit pursued by a Hippogriff" is an undignified exit unbefitting Snape.

I've never heard the expression "feeling froggy." Define for me? And I didn't mean "argue" in any bad sense. I was just asking where our disagreement was--for clarification, you know. I like to know what point I'm trying to prove, agree with and expand on, concede, refute, or whatever.

Carol, for whom an argument (in the rhetorical sense) is a discussion, not a quarrel
