- " […] 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[src]
The Freezing Charm (Immobulus[1][2]) is a spell which immobilises living targets.[3] It can also, according to Horace Slughorn, be used to disable Muggle burglar alarms.[4]
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.
Known uses
Caster(s) | Date | Notes |

Hermione Granger | Fall 1992 | Used this spell on a pair of pixies in her second year after her teacher tried and failed to subdue them using the incantation Peskipiksi Pesternomi. |
Remus Lupin | June 6, 1994 | Used it on the Whomping Willow. |
Harry Potter | 24 February, 1995 | Used it to liberate himself from some attacking Grindylows. |
Horace Slughorn | throughout 1996 | Used this charm to freeze the burglar alarms of Muggle houses he stayed in while in hiding from the Death Eaters. |
Kingsley Shacklebolt | 2 May, 1998 | This may be the spell he used non-verbally during the Battle of Hogwarts.[5] |
Etymology
The incantation is derived from Latin immobilis meaning "immobile, unmoving".
