Water is a colourless, odourless molecule consisting of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Regular consumption of water is vital to the survival of humans and most other than living organisms, and it has a number of other practical uses, including its use in bathing and cooking. It most often appears in liquid form, but at high temperatures becomes a vapour, and when chilled becomes either ice, or snow when falling as precipitation. Water can be found in large amounts in , such as the Black Lake, or in oceans, in which it takes the form of salt water.

In the Wizarding world, water has a number of applications, such as its use in Potions and it can be produced at will using magic.

History

'Engorgio!'

It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, should be expanded. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by expanding this article to give more complete coverage of its subject.

In 1995, while searching for information that would help him survive the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter searched books feverishly for references to "water," but generally found unhelpful information such as Potions suggestions with phrases like "take two pints of water..."^[1]

Later that year, the cauldron that was used in the Rebirth of Tom Riddle was said to be filled with what appeared to be water.^[2]
