Slowing Charm

Aresto Momentum (ah-REST-oh mo-MEN-tum) is a spell that slows or stops the movement of an object. Albus Dumbledore used this charm wandlessly to slow Harry Potter's fall during a Quidditch match in 1993, when he was overcome by Dementors. It is learnt at Hogwarts in the second years' Charms class, taught by professor Flitwick.
