"Oh, it's a simple enough anti-jinx, but it's not so much having to repair the damage, it's more the attitude behind the vandalism, Harry. Muggle-baiting might strike some wizards as funny, but it's an expression of something much deeper and nastier, and I for one —"
Arthur Weasley[src]

An anti-jinx was a type of spell that prevented the effects of a jinx over a target.[1]

History[]

The Cleansweep Eleven was polished with an anti-jinx varnish.[1]

In August 1995, Arthur Weasley was assigned to use one of these to solve the problem of the regurgitating toilets that had been set up by the prankster Willy Widdershins.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter uses signs claiming that a building "currently has an anti-jinx in place" when one of the spell effects caused by the interactive wands sold at the park is malfunctioning.[2]
