Counter-Jinx

A counter-jinx was a type of counter-spell that ended the effect of a jinx.
==Effects==
It differed from an anti-jinx in that an anti-jinx was intended to prevent those effects rather than remove them. Hermione Granger once had to look up the counter-jinx for the Jelly-Legs Jinx in 1995.
==History==
During the 1988–1989 school year, Professor Patricia Rakepick would often ask her fifth year Defence Against the Dark Arts students to use counter-jinxes. - Defence Against the Dark Arts classesWilbert Slinkhard said that the term "counter-jinx" was a misnomer, implying that they were intended with just as much harm as the spells they countered, though Hermione Granger disagreed with this assessment, much to the disapproval of Dolores Umbridge in a fifth year Defence Against the Dark Arts class in 1995.Practical Defensive Magic and Its Use Against the Dark Arts contained moving colour illustrations of the various counter-jinxes and hexes that it illustrated.Fifth years were expected to preform counter-jinxes as apart of their Defence Against the Dark Arts practical O.W.L. exam.Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 31 (O.W.L.S)
