- — Mention of this charm[src]
Blocked Barrier[2] was a charm (incantation unknown) that could be used to seal magical barriers and portals of the like used by witches and wizards to limit access to magical locations.[1]
History[]
On 1 September 1992, the house-elf Dobby used this charm to block the barrier to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, therefore preventing Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley from using it, as part of his plot to try to save Harry from the opening of the Chamber of Secrets.[1]
Given that Harry used the same platform in subsequent years, it is likely that this spell's effects were ended.
