Hex-Breaker

A Hex-Breaker (incantation unknown) was a counter-curse used to break the effects of a hex. The left-handed Hex-Breaker required a complex sequence of six steps, finishing with standing on one's head and casting the spell while holding the wand with one's feet.^[1]

Page 68b of Dark Arts Defence: Basics for Beginners included step-by-step illustrations on how to cast this spell.^[1]
