      Because I'm petty, I'm going to gather you all around and tell you about that time JK Rowling was extremely wrong about something and, by being wrong about it, poisoned Google search results for it for years afterwards and generally made the world ignorant about it

      We all know that the spell names in Harry Potter are bad Because JK Rowling doesn't actually know any Latin and doesn't look it up, even when she was getting million-dollar advances to look it up So you get stuff like "Imperio!" ("To the empire!")

      I seem to recall reading that she "developed" the spells by basically mangling words she found in a Portuguese dictionary, but I can't find any reference to that anymore online, so she might have just mangled Latin

      Regardless, I love to think that all the South American wizard students in their one (1) single wizarding school in Brazil are constantly doing the wizarding equivalent of butt-dialing, or "Hey, Siri"ing their wands in the course of normal conversations

      Yeah the dog-Latin spells are the kind of thing that's not that big a deal until you're pretending these silly books are a whole actual fantasy universe and you try expanding the franchise internationally etc

      Tbh I don't even care about dog-Latin that much - if anything, I think the idea that Latin was a particularly mystical or magical language is itself obnoxious (the more you learn about the ancient Romans the less magical they seem)

          However, stealing something from Africa and then obviously not caring about even remembering what part of Africa you stole it from isn't a great look

          come again? Africa? What was stolen? I feel like I'm missing something here. It's related to bad latin spellphrases?

          Oh, 100%. It's just more shoddy worldbuilding that makes less sense the more you look at it. Why is Bad Latin the Language of Spells? If it's simply that Bad Latin is the UI for European wands, then why would an """African""" word be used as their normal unlocking spell?

          I think the Romans themselves used Greek for the same mystical effect.

          I like the reason the protag of Dresden Files uses faux Latin for his spells. It's a deliberate FU to the Wizard Council, since they conduct all their business in Latin and wizards need to do spells based on a language they don't understand so they don't short out their brains
