Petrificus Totalus

Petrificus Totalus is the Full Body-Bind. The victim’s arms and legs snap together and they fall, rigid and awake. Hermione casts it on Neville when he tries to stop the trio leaving the common room to protect the Philosopher’s Stone. Draco uses it on Harry on the Hogwarts Express in the sixth year.
