In Harry Potter what is the petrificus spell?

The spell "Petrificus Totalus" is a petrifying spell. If someone cast "Petrificus Totalus" on you, you would freeze up and be unable to move or make sound, though you will be consciously aware of what is going on around you. It is very different from a Stunner, which knocks you out completely.

What is the counterspell for Petrificus Totalus?

It depends on if you are already hit by the spell or not. If you are already hit (or someone else is hit and you want to fix them), Fenite Incantatem would be it. If someone is trying to hit you, the best way to protect yourself would be any variation of protego (protego totalum, protego maxima, etc.)
