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!")

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.

I do think the "Enervate" error is extremely embarrassing for her and her proofreaders but that's mainly because Goblet of Fire was a fucking record-breaking bestseller that she got paid a seven-figure advance for that had the kids lining up at midnight at bookstores etc etc
