Spellotape

Spello-tape is an adhesive tape that is used in the wizarding world to fix objects that either could not be fixed by a spell, or when magic was not deemed appropriate to the situation. In 1992, Ron Weasley used Spello-tape to try to keep his broken wand together, though the wand was still too damaged to function properly. Ginny Weasley used Spello-tape in 1994 to fix one of her textbooks. In addition, Harry Potter found some Spello-tape in Dolores Umbridge's office. Hermione used it to restrain The Monster Book of Monsters a biting book assigned by Hagrid in her third year.
