(The fact that the reviving spell only revives people and doesn't do other things, such as undoing the full-body bind is self-explanatory, and doesn't require a behind the scenes section.) Tag: Visual edit |

− | * Despite this spell being used to revive unconscious people, it is ineffective against the [[Full Body-Bind Curse]], which can be undone by the [[General Counter-Spell]]. This is probably because the former is a curse, and also because of the fact that rather than being rendered unconscious, the victim is being paralysed and still conscious. ''Rennervate ''acts as a more specific counter-charm to Stunning Spells, Sleeping potions and presumably the [[bewitched sleep]] spell as well, but can also be used on sleeping targets anyway. |

- "He raised his own wand, pointed it at Winky, and said, “Rennervate!” Winky stirred feebly."
- — Amos Diggory uses the spell on Winky[src]
The Reviving Spell[4] (Rennervate)[1] is a charm that awakens whomever the caster's wand is pointed at.[3] Consequently, it serves as the counter-charm to the Stunning Spell.
Effect
This spell is accompanied by a flash of brilliantly coloured red light.[1]
This can be used to counteract a single Stunning Spell, although it is ineffective against multiple Stunners hitting an individual.[5] It's also ineffective against Dark Magic such as the Drink of Despair.[1]

Etymology
The original incantation was Enervate, which means "to weaken".[7] Due to this misconception, J. K. Rowling officially renamed it to "Rennervate",[7] which means "to energize".
