Etymology
Edit
In both Spanish and Portuguese, agua means "water" and mente means "mind"; these derive from the Latin terms aqua ("water") and mens ("mind"), the latter's singular dative case rendered as menti ("to the mind" or "for the mind").
Behind the scenes
Edit
- In the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Albus Dumbledore used a water spell which may have possibly been Aguamenti, though it was more likely to have been Aqua Eructo.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, unlike in the book, Aguamenti appears as what looks like a shield of water instead of a jet. Furthermore, unlike the book the charm does not evaporate on contact with Fiendfyre.
