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

Which, of course, isn't a word at all, but that's obviously better than just using a regular-ass English word to mean the opposite of what it actually means in the dictionary

Yeah, I mean - it's actually not even a particularly unique error. "Enervate" is one of those words that English speakers regularly misuse, for whatever set of reasons. People make mistakes, and she actually fixed this one. It doesn't mean that she's secretly right.

Rennervate sounds like the name of a house flipping show starring Larry the cable guy

A lot of things were changed to make the books more palatable to readers who may have trouble understanding. The title of the first novel was changed in the US because publishers feared it would be confusing for US readers.

Lol yes it is all the English-speaking readers who know what the word "enervate" actually means who are, in fact, the ignorant ones We are not worthy of her genius
