- — Description[1]
The Leg-Locker Curse, also known as the Leg Locking Spell[1] (Locomotor Mortis) is a curse that causes the victim's legs to lock together. It is first used by Draco Malfoy in 1992 when he cast it on Neville Longbottom, with the excuse that he had been looking for someone to test it on. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley prepared to use it during Harry Potter's second Quidditch match. The incantation is "Locomotor Mortis".
Etymology
Locomotor, meaning mobilise, and "mortis", meaning death; taken together it means "death of motion".
Behind the scenes
- In the video-games, if Harry is caught out of bed, the Prefects use this on him, and a number of points is taken from Gryffindor. Also this spell has a counter-curse.
- It can be bought at Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Although, in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4, this curse appears to bind the victim's legs with ropes, much like the effects of Incarcerous.
