What does 'knock the knees out' mean?
Vernon Dursley had entered the room, Petunia at his shoulder,
and Dudley skulking behind them both.
“Yes,” said Dumbledore simply, “I shall.”
He drew his wand so rapidly that Harry barely saw it; with a casual
flick, the sofa zoomed forward and knocked the knees out
from under all three of the Dursleys so that they collapsed upon it
in a heap. Another flick of the wand and the sofa zoomed back to
its original position.
