Full Body-Bind Curse

The spell Petrificus Totalus, also referred to as the Full Body-Bind, is used to render a person completely immobile.

This spell can be used nonverbally, as demonstrated by Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hermione Granger uses this spell on Neville Longbottom in Philosopher's Stone. Draco Malfoy uses this spell on Harry Potter on the Hogwarts Express in Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter uses it on the Inferi.

A counter-curse exists, but has not been revealed in any of the books so far.

The name is Latin or made-up Latin for "total petrification".
