in a defensive situation, Professor Rae, which jinx do you feel is the better to use?

"That's a good question, Mrs. Weasley. I think it really depends on your level of mastery, which is why an opportunity such as this is so important. The Jelly-Legs Jinx is much simpler and could be performed by even a first year with little practice. The Tarantallegra is more difficult, but is the more powerful spell."

Quote:

What is the counter-spell for the jelly-legs and the tarantallegra?

"Both spells will wear off in time, although the tarantallegra takes a while. However, a Finite Incantatem should suffice, although it is very difficult to perform on yourself under such circumstances."

"Five points to both of you for being brave enough to ask a question. Now, let's practice a bit. Please find a partner. I'm sure you're surprised that I'm letting you cast such a spell against one another, but I'm sure you also know better than to even try it outside of the classroom unless directed or threatened. Let's practice the Jelly-Legs Jinx first. The incantation is Gelatinus (jel-AH-tin-us) and the wand movement is like a loose lightning bolt." She demonstrated the movement. "Go ahead and cast it on your partner. For the caster, try to focus on the feel of the spell, and for the 'victim,' try to accustom yourself to being wobbly and see if you can Finite Incantatem yourself. Once you are done, you may switch and cast on the opposite partner."
