*[[Revive Potion]]
−
* 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] was a charm that awakened whomever the caster's wand was pointed at.[3] Consequently, it served as the counter-charm to the Stunning Spell.

Effect

This spell was 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 was also ineffective against Dark Magic such as the Drink of Despair.[1]
