Episkey

Episkey heals relatively minor injuries such as broken noses or toes.

Known users
In 1996, Nymphadora Tonks used this spell to fix Harry Potter's broken nose, and that same year Harry used it to fix Demelza Robins' broken lip; he probably had not learned it in class, but assumed that if it could heal broken noses, it could heal split lips. Luna Lovegood had used this spell several times to fix her toes.

Known practitioners

 * Nymphadora Tonks
 * Harry Potter
 * Luna Lovegood

Etymology
The word comes from the Greek "episkeui" ("επισκευή"), which means "repair".

Behind the scenes

 * J. K. Rowling writes in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Harry's knowledge tells him this spell could belong to a variety of healing spells, in the same way a species of plants belongs to a larger genus.
 * In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Luna Lovegood finds Harry on the Hogwarts Express instead of Nymphadora Tonks. Luna also uses the Episkey spell to mend Harry's broken nose when they reach the Entrance Gates to Hogwarts.
