- "Raising her wand, she began to walk in a wide circle around Harry and Ron, murmuring incantations as she went. Harry saw little disturbances in the surrounding air: it was as if Hermione had cast a heat haze across their clearing."
- —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.
Etymology
Edit
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".
