A jinx that sticks the target's tongue to the roof of their mouth, stopping both speech and any spell that needs saying aloud.
Langlock is a jinx that glues the target's tongue to the roof of their mouth. It stops them talking, and with it any spell they might have cast aloud, which is almost certainly what it was invented for. It works on people and on spirits alike, poltergeists included. A Hogwarts student in the 1970s came up with it and wrote it into the margin of his copy of Advanced Potion-Making, along with a number of other spells of his own.
