The Melofors Jinx (Melofors) is a jinx that encases the victim's head in a pumpkin, although it appears to those watching to transform the victim's head into a pumpkin. The pumpkin can be shattered to free the victim, or can fall apart on its own after a short time.
Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger used this spell on various erklings throughout the grounds of Hogwarts Castle during the 1994-1995 school year, overlooked by their Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Bartemius Crouch Jr. (who at the time was disguised as Alastor Moody).
Behind the scenes
The jinx is included in the "5 Spell Pack" DLC for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7.
