"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 was the incantation of a protective enchantment used to defend a certain area for an extended period of time[1].

Practitioners

Etymology

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".
