This is the only spell whose hand motion stayed the same between Pottermore and Wonderbook: Book of Spells. In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery shows a different movement.Used it to patroll the Hogwarts corridors at night, during which he caught Harry Potter out of bed, but the pair was interrupted by Remus Lupin. [37] In the PC version of the Philosopher's Stone video game, the spell does not illuminate the wand as it should, but simply activate gargoyles to reveal hidden things in the form of light. The charm correctly illuminates the wand as well in its sequels (PC), but can only be cast on gargoyles. To illuminate the end of a wand, the caster must call out the incantation "Lumos." If correctly incanted, the end of the wand will then illuminate and cast light in the immediate vicinity of the caster. It can also be used to illuminate unseen entrances." — Miranda Goshawk regarding the effects of this charm [src]
