Theories on some peripheral details in the Harry Potter universe pt. 2

Dec 28, 2012 13:41

Latin-derived spells are only used in the areas where they used to speak Latin (perhaps the old territories of the Roman Empire?). Perhaps wizards in Asia, Africa, America, Scandinavia, etc. have their own spells in their own old languages.

Either way, wizards could create spells, can't they? Didn't Snape engineer Sectumsempra? They don't have to be in Latin, I suppose.

I have corollaries to this theory, of course. Although they aren't really that clear in my head.

What the fuck am I doing, seriously?

Also, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2 is on HBO right now as I am typing. Harry's fighting the Dark Lord now in the staircases.
