Mending Charm

Reparo is a spell used to mend broken objects. The spell's name derives from the latin word "reparare", meaning “to restore”.

"Reparo" is used frequently throughout the Harry Potter series, with a few notable instances including the following:


 * Harry uses "reparo" to fix a bowl of Murtlap Essence he breaks while soaking his hand after one of Dolores Umbridge's detentions.


 * Snape uses "reparo" to repair a jar in his office that Harry breaks during Occlumency lessons.


 * Harry uses "reparo" to repair the covers on the two Potions textbooks he switches so that he can swap his new text for the Half-Blood Prince's older book.


 * In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is shown using Reparo to fix Harry's broken glasses on several occasions. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it is actually Mr. Weasley who uses "reparo" to fix Harry's glasses.
