=====History and Known Uses=====
The Unbreakable Charm is a powerful and durable enchantment used to protect objects. While not commonly seen, its application appears in several significant instances throughout the series, typically employed by highly skilled witches and wizards.
  * In 1994, during the weighing of the wands ceremony for the [[Triwizard Tournament]], [[Mr. Ollivander]] advised against using an Unbreakable Charm on a [[wand]]. He explained that doing so would prevent the wand's core magical substance from being altered or removed, which could be necessary for repairs or modifications.
  * In 1995, [[Hermione Granger]] successfully cast an Unbreakable Charm on a glass jar to imprison [[Rita Skeeter]] in her unregistered beetle [[Animagus]] form. This prevented Skeeter from transforming back or breaking out of the container.
  * In 1996, [[Albus Dumbledore]] placed an Unbreakable Charm on the door to [[Sirius Black]]'s bedroom at [[Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place]] to prevent [[Kreacher]] from entering and tampering with the contents. The charm was so powerful that it was noted even a [[blasting curse]] would not be able to breach it.
  * During the hunt for [[Horcrux|Horcruxes]] in 1997, [[Hermione Granger]] placed an Unbreakable Charm on the canvas of the [[tent]] she, [[Harry Potter]], and [[Ron Weasley]] used for shelter. This was one of many protective enchantments she used to fortify their campsite.
=====Learning and Counter-Spells=====
The level of difficulty required to cast the Unbreakable Charm is not explicitly stated, but its use by accomplished magic-users like [[Albus Dumbledore]] and [[Hermione Granger]] suggests it is advanced magic, likely beyond the standard [[Hogwarts]] curriculum for [[O.W.L.]] or even [[N.E.W.T.]] level students.
There is no known counter-spell or method for reversing an Unbreakable Charm. Its very name and function imply permanence, making it a highly reliable, one-way enchantment. Once an object is bewitched, it remains so indefinitely.
=====Etymology=====
As the incantation is unknown, no etymological analysis can be performed on it. The name of the [[spell]] itself is a straightforward description of its function in English. It combines the prefix //un-// (not), the root word //break//, and the suffix //-able// (capable of being), literally meaning "not capable of being broken."
=====Behind the Scenes=====
  * In the film adaptation of *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire*, the scene where [[Hermione Granger]] traps [[Rita Skeeter]] in a jar is depicted, implying the use of this charm, though it is not named aloud. (film)
  * The existence of indestructible objects and environments in various [[Harry Potter]] video games can be seen as a mechanical representation of the Unbreakable Charm's effect, though the charm itself is not typically a spell the player can cast. (video game)
