History
Behind the scenes
- Harry Potter only uses this spell in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to reach the surface of the Hogwarts lake; in the book he manages to swim to the surface without using a spell, though just barely.
Etymology
"Ascendio" comes from the Latin word "ascendo", meaning "to climb".
