A furious chase between Portree Seeker Dougal McBride and Arrows Seeker Gregory Cotton ended in a skybound scuffle, and while Cotton emerged with the Snitch, his lap of honour was brutally curtailed as McBride turned his head into a cabbage. ...Referee Josiah Plunkett attempted to remonstrate with McBride, who insisted that Cotton had put a Jelly-Fingers curse on him as they both swooped down on the Snitch. Both Seekers were searched and discovered to have wands illegally upon their persons. An enquiry is expected.

Presumably makes the target’s fingers like jelly, so that they cannot grasp anything properly.
