Oculus Reparo is a variant of the Reparo spell that is used to repair broken glasses.

Known Uses

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.
