Counter-Charm for Engorgio, shrinks objects


Reducio, is the counter-spell for Engorgio. It causes an Engorged object to return to its normal size.

[edit] Uses

  • In 1994 when Hermione Granger's teeth were enlarged by the Densaugeo jinx accidentally by Draco Malfoy, Madam Pomfrey probably used Reducio to return her teeth back to normal size, though Hermione took advantage of this situation and allowed her teeth to be shrunk to less than their original size, up until this point she was always said to have "rather large front teeth"
