Rennervate is the counter-curse to the Stunning Spell. It is used to bring stunned individuals back to consciousness. It will not work against certain kinds of Dark Magic, for instance, the effects of the Emerald Green Potion. Rennervate is also useless for resurrecting the deceased.
Harry Potter discovered the limitations of Rennervate when he attempted to revive Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmaster Albus Dumbledore while retrieving one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. In this case, water was the only substance that could revive Dumbledore.
In 1995, Amos Diggory used it to wake up Winky and Albus Dumbledore used it to wake up Viktor Krum and Barty Crouch Jr..
Etymology
Officially renamed from Ennervate by J.K. Rowling.[1] Rennervate means "to energize", whilst the former Ennervate, meant "to weaken".[2]
