Harry potter spells and names

I don't know if anyone else knows that but if u have noticed, spells used in Harry's world have almost nothing to do with english. That's why because spells are actually based in latin words or are latin words. For example the crucious curse or the lumos duo spell and carpe rectractum. Also some potions such as felix felicis which actually means lucky happines or happy luck and names like Severous which means wild/bad. I find this really interesting cause you can find hidden messages in the whole book.
Spells and curses that actually mean something: Carpe rectractum=Carpe= grab/catch (i'm not sure about that but rectractum=right) lumos duo= double light, Crucious= torture ( comes from the latin word cruciatous) avifors= has something to do with birds cause comes from avis which means bird, vera verto=turn otherwise(?), insidio=trap, pullus= chicken ( actually sacred chicken)

 

Well I think it just helps but the killing spell (can't spell it) if from the word someone says when doing magic at kids parties

 

Well, almost everything in hte english language is based off of a word from either latin, spanish, or french. So I'm not surprised.

I know a lot of french, and when I look at the world I make a lot of connections like this as well.

 

You mean Avada kedavra? I've been searching for some time but i couldn't find something similar in latins. But i will continue searching cause i'm curious and want to find out what means.

 

Huh? What you mean like "Abra Kadabra"??? lol

 

Well...yeah

Abra Kadabra - Avada Kedavra XD Kinda obvious.

I think Potter came from a street or something Rowling used to live in.
