What is the spell that repairs broken objects?

The spell that repairs broken objects is Reparo. It is a mending charm used by witches and wizards to restore damaged items, making it one of the most practical household spells in the Harry Potter universe.

The incantation appears in several expanded forms. Oculus Reparo is associated with repairing spectacles, while other uses of Reparo restore objects that have been broken or damaged. The charm is especially memorable because repair magic has important limits: it cannot automatically undo every kind of magical damage or replace something that has been completely destroyed.

A famous later example involves Harry’s broken wand. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry uses the Elder Wand to repair his original holly wand, showing how wand power can affect the result of a mending charm.

Reparo is often confused with Finite Incantatem, which ends or counteracts magical effects, and Evanesco, which makes objects disappear. Revelio reveals hidden information; it does not repair physical damage.
