Practitioners
Etymology
A derivation from the repairing charm, with Latin oculus, meaning "eye", added as a prefix.
Behind the scenes
- The use of this charm by Arthur Weasley has not been confirmed, as it may have been the general fixing spell.
- Hermione Granger uses this in Diagon Alley despite being underage and hence not permitted to use magic outside of school.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Ron tries to use this spell to fix Harry's glasses but instead turns a wizard's hat into a frog.
- Although in the book, Mr Weasley taps Harry's glasses when using this spell, in the second film Hermione moves her wand in a similar manner to the "swish and flick" used for the Levitation Charm; this is seen often throughout the first two films.
