Latin in Harry Potter [[image:http://static.wetpaint.com/img/bg/1.png?v=20110120041852 caption="This is a featured page"]]
If there is any book that uses Latin the most, it is Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. Here are numerous examples that we have found in these books:

Characters NAMES:
 * Minerva** **McGonagall**- Minerva (Athena) is the goddess of wisdom. Also, Athena is the goddess who turned a girl (Arachne, see Latin Alive Today) into a spider. Minerva McGonagall is the professor of transfiguration.
 * Draco** **Malfoy**- Draco= dragon. Draconian, fits his character. Draco was also the name of a lawgiver in Athens or something like that. Malfoy from French "Mal foi" from Latin "Mala fides" = bad faith.
 * Argus Filch**- Argus had a thousand eyes. Everyone compains that Filch always sees everything that happens
 * Severus Snape**- Severus=strict/harsh in Latin. Fits his character nicely as a teacher of Harry.
 * Dolores Umbridge**- Dolores=pain. She caused Harry a lot of pain in various detention-like settings. Umbra=shadow. Very mysterious indeed.
 * Ludo Bagman**- Ludo=to play in Latin. He was the Minister of Games or something in the 4th book. (As in the Quidditch world Cup).
 * Rubeus Hagrid**-Rubeus=of the bramble. This describes his hair and overall appearance, no offense.
 * Narcissa Malfoy**- Narcissus was so engulfed when he viewed his reflection. Narcissa thinks she is the most beautiful person in HP.
 * Hermione Granger**- Hermione was the daughter of Helen of Troy, the beauty that caused all that trouble in the Trojan War. Hermione (daughter of Helen) was loved by Orestes and Neoptolemus (see Families page). Sounds sort of like Ron Weasley and Viktor Krum.
 * Albus Dumbledore**- Albus= white in Latin, they always say Dumbledore has a white beared. This could also mean he is not a dark, evil wizard.
 * Filius Flitwick-**Filius=son
 * Tenebrus-**Tenebrosus=dark (Tenebrus is the name of a thestral).
 * Lord Voldemort-**Volo=either wish or fly; de= from; Mort=death. One who flies from death (literally translated as "Volat de morte").
 * Cordelia Misericordia-**Misericordia=misery. Cordelia was a hag representative at the fourteenth century summit of Wizard's Council. Insignificant character.

Hogwarts Motto: "Draco Dormiens Numquam Titillandus" Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon

Places: Knockturn Alley= **Nocturn** Alley= night alley. Knockturn Alley is a very spooky place.

Spells:

 * Finite Incantatem-** finite= end; incantatem= charm

 * Nox**- Night, darkness (no light)
