*In Latin, ''incendio'' is the dative or ablative singular of ''incendium'', "fire", and can mean "to fire" or "for fire" (dative), "by fire" or "with fire" (ablative of instrument or means). Thus, the incantation is a way of calling upon fire to burn a desired object, since the spell caster wills harm to be done to an object "by (means of) fire." |

||
+ | *The magic word could also be a variant of the Latin ''incendo'', "I set [something] on fire", with an "i" added before the final "o" for euphony. |

− | *"Incendio" |
+ | *"Incendio" is the Spanish and Portuguese word for "wild fire". Also, in Italian, the word "Incendio" refers to a great fire similar to that one made by Thorfinn to Hagrid's house. |
+ | *"Incendio" is also the first person singular of the present of the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian verb "incendiar(e)", meaning "to set fire to". |

− | *When Rowle used the spell offensively against Hagrid's hut, it caused an explosion, rather than simply lighting it on fire. |
||
+ | *In the video game adaptations of ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (video game)|Philosopher's Stone]]'', ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game)|Chamber of Secrets]]'', and ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game)|Goblet of Fire]]'', ''Incendio'' is incorrectly called the [[Bluebell Flames]], which is in fact an entirely different, but similar charm. It is used primarily to wilt dank-loving, threatening plants, burn through [[cobweb]]s and light torches. In the later games, it resumes its use as a spell to conjure a small burst of normal fire. |

− | *Incendio is the first known spell to be cast in the series, although magical devices ([[Albus Dumbledore|Albus's]] [[Deluminator|Put-Outer]]), abilities ([[Animagi]]) and beings ([[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]) appeared before. |
||
+ | **Also in the second game, the manuals, and in-game info states it can be used as a duelling charm, despite that in the console versions it is the last spell to be learned in the game, thus duels are no longer as abundant. However, proof of this can be seen in that if the player times it right, they can cast their own [[Disarming Charm]] on the incoming mis-cast Indencio (as it flies back to hit the player) and thus catching the spell and mitigating it. This also works with the [[Knockback Jinx]]. |
||
− | *In the [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|sixth film]], Bellatrix uses this spell to set Hagrid's hut on fire instead of Rowle. |

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in: Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery & Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells & Harry Potter: Magic Awakened & Hogwarts Legacy. |
- "From lighting a warm hearth to igniting a Christmas pudding, the Fire-Making Spell is always useful around the wizarding household. However, the ability to produce fire with the flick of a wand can be dangerous to your fellow students (and worse, your books)."
- — Miranda Goshawk, Book of Spells[src]
The Fire-Making Spell,[2] also known as the Fire-Making Charm[3] (Incendio)[3][1][2] was a charm that conjured a jet of flames that could be used to set things alight.[2]
History
This spell was listed in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1 by Miranda Goshawk.[1] This spell was also taught to students during their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Charms (and revised during the second year)[3][4] and Herbology class to deal with the Devil's Snare and other dangerous plants,[3] and was reviewed in the fifth year for students sitting their O.W.L. examinations.[5]
This spell was mentioned in the lyrics of Celestina Warbeck's song "A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love".[6]
Known uses
- "Flames rose at once in the fireplace, crackling merrily as though they had been burning for hours."
- — Arthur Weasley uses this spell at the Dursleys' house[src]
'Engorgio!'
It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, should be expanded - Uses from Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery need completion. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by expanding this article to give more complete coverage of its subject. |

Known practitioners
Etymology
- In Latin, incendio is the dative or ablative singular of incendium, "fire", and can mean "to fire" or "for fire" (dative), "by fire" or "with fire" (ablative of instrument or means). Thus, the incantation is a way of calling upon fire to burn a desired object, since the spell caster wills harm to be done to an object "by (means of) fire."
- The magic word could also be a variant of the Latin incendo, "I set [something] on fire", with an "i" added before the final "o" for euphony.
- "Incendio" is the Spanish and Portuguese word for "wild fire". Also, in Italian, the word "Incendio" refers to a great fire similar to that one made by Thorfinn to Hagrid's house.
- "Incendio" is also the first person singular of the present of the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian verb "incendiar(e)", meaning "to set fire to".
Behind the scenes
- This may be the spell Remus Lupin used on the Hogwarts Express 1993, combined with a Flame-Freezing Charm when the lights went out as he is described as "holding a handful of flames" though it is more likely that he used the charm for Bluebell Flames.[39]
- In the video game adaptations of Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Goblet of Fire, Incendio is incorrectly called the Bluebell Flames, which is in fact an entirely different, but similar charm. It is used primarily to wilt dank-loving, threatening plants, burn through cobwebs and light torches. In the later games, it resumes its use as a spell to conjure a small burst of normal fire.
- Also in the second game, the manuals, and in-game info states it can be used as a duelling charm, despite that in the console versions it is the last spell to be learned in the game, thus duels are no longer as abundant. However, proof of this can be seen in that if the player times it right, they can cast their own Disarming Charm on the incoming mis-cast Indencio (as it flies back to hit the player) and thus catching the spell and mitigating it. This also works with the Knockback Jinx.
- This spell is the first known spell to be cast in the series, although magical devices (Dumbledore's Deluminator), abilities (Animagi) and beings (Hagrid) appeared before.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Bellatrix uses this spell to set Hagrid's hut on fire instead of Rowle.
- This spell's wand gesture given in Pottermore is identical to its wand gesture given in the PC version of the Philosopher's Stone video game.
