Revision as of 22:14, 30 December 2009
Oculus Reparo is a variant of the Reparo spell that is used to repair broken glasses.
Known Uses
- Hermione Granger used this spell to mend Harry Potter's glasses when they first met on the Hogwarts Express in 1991.
- Arthur Weasley probably used a nonverbal version of this spell to fix Harry's glasses in 1992.
Etymology
Latin reparo meaning "to renew" or "repair".
Behind the scenes
- This spell only appears in the film adapations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but, as mentioned above, there may be nonverbal uses in the books.
- In the Chamber of Secrets film, Hermione Granger uses this spell in Diagon Alley, despite being underage and thus not permitted to use magic outside of school. This may have been allowed to slide because Hermione was in a location filled with other witches and wizards, and The Trace wouldn't have been able to catch her. It's also possible that Oculus Reparo is considered such a mundane, harmless spell that its use wasn't enough to trigger a violation. Hermione's use of the spell in the first film may have been allowed if Hogwart's Express was considered an extension of the school.
