Freezing Charm

"...immobilising two pixies at once with a clever Freezing Charm and stuffing them back into their cage"

- Hermione Granger's use of the charm in her Defence Against the Dark Arts class

The Freezing Charm (Immobulus ) is a spell which immobilises living targets. It can also, according to Horace Slughorn, be used to disable Muggle burglar alarms.

History
This spell is covered in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk. It's also taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to second year students in Charms class.

Etymology
The incantation is derived from Latin immobilis meaning "immobile, unmoving".
