Harry Potter

In Harry Potter what is the difference between Charms and Spells? I decided to re-read the Harry Potter series this summer and I would like to know what is the real difference between a charm and a spell. I've noticed some spells do have counterspells while Charms usually don't. So does that mean Charms will simply wear off eventually? It's really confusing to me.

Charms are more multipurpose spells , transfiugration and defence against the dark arts use different derivatives or charms although they all fall under one big bracket of Spells like this:

Spells = Charms , Transfiguration , Defence Against the Dark Arts

Divination , Potions , Care of Magical , Creatures , Ancient Runes , e.t.c all fall under their own study areas .
