Reparifors

Reparifors is the incantation of a healing charm that reverts minor magically-induced ailments, such as paralysis and poisoning.^[1]

Etymology

The prefix Repar- most likley stems from the English "repair" and the suffix -fors (often used in transfiguration spells) is Latin for "chance, luck, fortune", though it may also come from forma (or simply English form) meaning form.

Behind the scenes

• In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, this spell can only be cast by using Chocolate Frog Card combinations.
• The spell may also be a transfiguration, given that its incantation contains the -fors suffix.
• It may also be taught in Charms class as a basic healing spell, as the class is known to cover spells which are not Transfiguration spells. Most likely in the third year.
• Similar to the Antidote to Common Poisons and the General Counter-Spell, Reparifors can be used as a general healing spell to minor poisons and Dark spells.

Appearances

• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) (First appearance)
