A '''Counter-Jinx''' is a [[spell]] that removes the effects caused by [[jinx]]es. It differs from an [[Anti-Jinx]] in that an anti-jinx is intended to prevent the effects rather than remove them. [[Wilbert Slinkhard]] said that the term "counter-jinx" was improperly named, and that "''Counter-Jinx is a name wizards give their spells to make them sound more friendly''". [[Hermione Granger]] disagreed with this assessment.

Wilbert Slinkhard said that the term "counter-jinx" was improperly named, implying that they were intended with just as much harm as the spells they countered, though Hermione Granger disagreed with this assessment.
