The Muggle-Repelling Charm is a charm that causes an area to be unseen by Muggles, or causes it to be undesirable for Muggles to search or enter. Its incantation is Repello Muggletum.
Some of the effects of the spell are that Muggles will suddenly realise a reason as not to enter the area over this charm's protection, for example, by "remembering" that they had an urgent appointment somewhere else.
