A dozen days duckies. And I have nice lesson in latin for you all
- Obliviate, the spell that wipes memories, is derivied from the latin word oblivsci, which means to forget.
- Oppugno makes objects attack a person, which is apropro because in latin Oppugno means to attack or assault
- Petrificus Totalus, or the Body-Bind Curse, means "total petrification" in Latin

Once again, clarification: TWO days until the midnight premiere!
Everyone knows that Voldemort and Harry's wands share the same core - a phoenix feather, but what makes their wands different?
Voldemort's is yew, which is traditionally seen as having immense supernatural powers regarding death and rebirth, both of which are things Voldemort obsesses over. Also Yew, according to Celtic lore, is the tree of the day before the winter solstice, around the end of December. Tom Riddle was born at the end of December on New Years eve late at night. hmmm.
Mind blown

Almost 3 weeks away chil'lens, and I still have plenty more facts to go around
PS. I won a bet by proving I know more about Harry Potter than my friend! she owes me a WAND Hollow Victory??? I think so...
Anyways here we go, for all you French Speakers out there:

What does the name of He-who-must-not-be-named mean???
Vol- Flight
de- of (but in this case, with conjugational mumbo jumbo "from")
mort- death
So kiddies what does that say mixed together? "Flight from death" which, for anyone who knows the Harry Potter series, is Voldemort's main goal (to avoid death and be immortal)
