'''Protego Totalum''' is the incantation for the defensive [[spell]] used to protect a certain small or enclosed area from most other spells for extended periods. It forms an invisble protective "bubble" around the area it was cast in. This spell was used by [[Hermione Granger]] along with other [[charm]]s to prevent attacks from [[Death Eaters]] as she, [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and [[Harry Potter|Harry]] traveled in search of [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]'s [[Horcrux]]es following his rise to power.

—Description[src]

Protego Totalum is the incantation of one of many Protective Enchantments, used to defend a certain small or enclosed area from most other spells for an extended period of time.

This charm was performed by Hermione Granger amidst other enchantments in order to prevent attacks from Death Eaters as she, Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter travelled in search of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes subsequent to the Fall of the Ministry of Magic.

EtymologyEdit

The incantation is derived from "protego", meaning "to protect" and Latin "totus", meaning "as a whole", thereby making the whole incantation "to protect as a whole".
