Glacius is a freezing charm used to put out fires and create ice blocks. The spell is described as a "charm that conjures a blast of freezing cold air from the end of the wand"[1]. The air is so cold it can freeze several inches of water solid within seconds, making it solid enough for at least an average-sized thirteen-year-old to walk across.
Etymology
From obsolete French glacieux, from Latin glaciēs (“ice”). It could also be from Latin glaciās, meaning "you freeze".
Behind the scenes
- It can be bought at Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
- During the lessons in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 if the player irritates the Professor he/she will cast Glacius at the player and put him/her into a block of ice.
- In the game version Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game), his charms teacher arranged a test for Harry, in which the latter had to use this spell to freeze some running water; he then had to slide on it without the ice breaking, which would then guarantee that he passed the test; later on in the year, he had to use the spell to make a lizard freeze.
