The Leg-Locker Curse is a spell that causes the victim's legs to lock together. It is first used by Draco Malfoy in 1991 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 first Quidditch match.

Etymology

Locomotor, meaning mobilise, and "mortis", meaning death; taken together it means "death of motion".
