Aresto Momentum in OOTP film?

I remember a scene in Order of the Phoenix where as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Luna escapes from the falling orbs in the Hall of prophecies, they went to a door and fell down. Before they hit the ground, they froze in midair and landed to the ground. The fall is similar to the scene in Part 2 where Hermione uses Aresto Momentum in the Gringotts underground. Now back to that scene in OOTP, did someone use Aresto Momentum to make them freeze in midair or it's an enchantment in the Ministry of Magic?

@LCbaseball22: i agree that both scenes really looked identical!
She definitely did not use a NV Spell. Otherwise this sentence wouldnt have made any sense in the first DADA class in HBP Book:
"Typically, ten minutes into the lesson Hermione managed to repel Neville’s muttered Jelly-Legs Jinx without uttering a
single word."
She wouldnt have taken 10 minutes then, would she ????
:-?
"It's an useful spell", she thought. HAHA
Remember what Dumbledore says while he and Harry were getting into the Boat to reach the Horcrux island ??? I will reproduce the exact text after which I shall pose the question:
DD - ".....I rather think an enchantment will have been placed upon this boat so that only one wizard at a time will be able to sail in it."
'‘But then –?’'
‘'I do not think you will count, Harry: you are under age and unqualified. Voldemort would never have expected a sixteen-year-old to reach this place: I think it unlikely that your powers will register compared to mine.’'
So, here we have an enchantment which fails to detect Harry's presence because of what Dumbledore says. The thing thats troubling me is that wouldnt Harry then would be able to fool the enchantment surrounding the potion and easily retrieve the Horcrux by putting his hand inside???? If the Boat enchantment didnt detect him, why should the potion one ????
Q2 - Did JKR say how dumbledore found that the boat was there ???? It was definitely much more advanced than uttering Specialis Revelio. And How did Voldemort put the potion there in the first place without anyone's aid , and managed to get out without drinking it ????
And for Abhi's first question, I think the enchantment on the horcrux wouldn't simply hold depending on who was trying to retrieve it. That wouldn't make sense. It seems that it would just be a powerful enchantment that was always in force no matter who came upon it.
And your second question, we weren't told how Dumbledore knew all of these things, but were told that it was ancient magic. He's been around a long time, so I tend to think he knew a thing or two about discovering where things were or how to get to them. Remember, Voldemort was cocky and thought no one would ever figure out his game. But we saw that Regulus did and he wasn't nearly as powerful as Dumbledore. And Voldemort didn't have to "get out" like everyone else. He controlled the enchantments and the Inferi, so he could basically do what he wanted.
Just my offhand opinons anyways :-D
Though I wish more opinions are posted.
It really was a magnificent chapter and moment in the whole series.
EDIT -HBP is so full of these. One of the main saving graces of the sixth book because I didnt like the romantic subplot.Atleast not the way it was presented.
And you're right, HBP is full of them
And needless to say, I found myself shedding tears on dumbledore's death. There were so many moments in the book foreshadowing his death. And re-reading the book gave me chills when Dumbledore said things like: "Because your blood is worth more than mine" or "I am much more cleverer, much old and much less valuable". He knew his end had come, though we didnt at that point. :-(( :-((
The continued buckling of Dumbledore against the wall as he weakened, on top of the astronomy tower was heart-breaking. It literally symbolized his "going down", i.e., death. =(( One of the saddest moments in the entire series, because he was such a main character.
