Hermione was also mentioned trying to learn this charm during her ride aboard the Hogwarts Express. Later on in the same book, Harry summons his broom to complete the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament.[GF Ch.20] Near the end of the book, Harry uses it to summon the Triwizard Cup after he encounters Voldemort. When Ron goes mad in the department of mysteries in Order of the Phoenix, he attempts to use it to summon a brain. Harry uses this spell to summon Hagrid in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but fails.

(Age Line Spell)

Description: Creates a thin, shimmering line that can only be passed by people of a set age. Aging potions are useless against age lines. Incantation unknown. As demonstrated by Fred and George Weasley, attempting to use an ageing potion and stepping over the line appears to work, but moments later they are seen with grey hair and beards. It is unknown whether the ageing potion causes this alongside the age line spell.Seen/mentioned: Seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to prevent underage students entering the Triwizard Tournament.

Aguamenti (Aguamenti Charm)

Later Harry casts this spell in an attempt to create water for Dumbledore to drink after taking Voldemort's potion[HBP Ch.26], and again to douse Hagrid's hut after it is set on fire.[HBP Ch.28][DH Ch.31].
