Etymology

In both Spanish and Portuguese, agua/água 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"). Given J.K. Rowling's love of puns, it would also seem plausible that there might have been a hybrid of água and "augment", in the sense of "increase", in her mind.

Behind the scenes

  • 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 in the book, the charm does not evaporate on contact with Fiendfyre.
  • It is possible that this is the same spell as the extinguishing spell, given it has been used for this purpose several times.
  • It is unclear how the water is created from the wand, although it may be possible that the spell converts water vapor from the air around the caster into water. This could explain why Harry was unable to extinguish the Fiendfrye, as the room had become so heated already, that there wasn't enough water vapor in the air to make any effect.
