Spellotape was an adhesive tape that was used in the wizarding world to fix objects that either could not be fixed by a spell, or when magic was not deemed appropriate to the situation.[1]
Spellotape could not repair broken wands, although some wizards crudely attempted to repair their wands this way. These wands would not function properly,[1] causing spells cast by them to backfire on the caster.[2]
Known users[]
- Todd Cribb improperly used Spellotape to repair his broken wand after he stepped on it after being disarmed in the Forbidden Forest. It did not work as spells cast by his wand backfired on himself.[2]
- In 1992, Ron Weasley used Spellotape borrowed from another student to try to keep his broken wand together, though the wand was still too damaged to function properly.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
