Is there a complementary return-to-where-it-was spell that can be used after the Accio spell has been used? For example, Harry Accios his broom from his closet in GoF to help him retrieve the dragon egg. After the event was over, could Harry have "un-Accioed" his broom to return it to his closet to save him the trouble of carrying it back up to his room? Or to help Hermione surreptitiously put the Horcrux books back in Dumbledore's hiding spot in DH? Kind of like a Return statement.

The SQL comments in this question inspired my question here.

There is Mobiliarbus (move object) and Wingardium Leviosa (fly/move object). – Zoredache 5 hours ago

I think what you mean is "reverse-Accio", and not "un-Accio". At least based on what I read in your question. Also, Locomotor could be used for what you need. – Gallifreyan 5 hours ago

There was also the handwaving that Dumbledore performed in Slughorn's temporary home. Seemed to put everything in place, even though there was a lot of stuff, and Dumbledore had no idea of the original configuration. Yet, it is more of a fix than send back spell. – Gallifreyan 5 hours ago

@Gallifreyan - What's the difference between Locomotor and the two mentioned by Zoredache? – iMerchant 4 hours ago

Yes, the Banishing charm.

We see Harry, Ron, and Hermione practicing this spell in GoF:

They were supposed to be practising the opposite of the Summoning Charm today — the Banishing Charm. Owing to the potential for nasty accidents when objects kept flying across the room, Professor Flitwick had given each student a stack of cushions on which to practise, the theory being that these wouldn’t hurt anyone if they went off target. It was a good theory, but it wasn’t working very well.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, chapter 26: The Second Task

It appears that the object goes to where you direct it:

"I just want to know what Snape did with his first chance, if he's already on his second one," said Harry grimly, and his cushion, to his very great surprise, flew straight across the room and landed neatly on top of Hermione's.

Apparently the incantation is Depulso, as revealed in the video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but that depends on your canon level.

@Gallifreyan - not revealed in the book what the incantation is. – Mithrandir 3 hours ago

@Gallifreyan - I never watched any of the movies except for TSS and TCoS, and FBAWTFT. Never played video games either. – Mithrandir 3 hours ago
    
"Depulso" is the incantation, Depulso sends both objects and living things away from the caster. I'm unable to find any instance of an object going further than across the room. – RedOculus 3 hours ago

Locomotor - The spell causes the named object to rise in the air and move around at the will of the caster

An example of use is when Flitwick used "Locomotor trunks" to move Trelawney's belongings back up the main staircase to her lodgings:

Professor Sprout came hurrying forward out of the crowd and grabbed Professor Trelawney's other arm. Together they guided her past Umbridge and up the marble stairs. Professor Flitwick went scurrying after them, his wand held out before him; he squeaked, "Locomotor trunks!" and Professor Trelawney's luggage rose into the air and proceeded up the staircase after her, Professor Flitwick bringing up the rear.

So could've Harry used Locomotor to send his broom back to his closet from the arena after capturing the dragon egg? In other words, send it on its way and let the broom figure out how to navigate across Hogwarts grounds and inside the building and into his room. – iMerchant 3 hours ago
    
Although Cannon sources don't say so specifically, there is good evidence to suggest the object does know where to go upon casting. When McGonagall used Piertotum Locomotor to animate the statues and suits of armor, they moved into formation without directions from the caster. – RedOculus 3 hours ago
    
Isn't the case with the statues a special case? She does say that Hogwarts will defend itself so the statues must have some kind of direction ; that was the way I interpreted the passage (like from a previous enchantment or something). I suppose it begs the question: do enchanted or animated objects have the ability to go to places on their own accord? – stanri 31 mins ago
