An anti-jinx is a type of spell that prevents the effects of a jinx over a target.
The Cleansweep Eleven is polished with an anti-jinx varnish.
In August 1995, Arthur Weasley was assigned to use one of these to solve the problem of the regurgitating toilets that had been set up by Willy Wildershins.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The Wizarding World of Harry Potter uses signs claiming that a building "currently has an anti-jinx in place" when one of the spell effects caused by the interactive wands sold at the park is malfunctioning.[2]
