Harry Potter Question

Have toi noticed the similarity between 'Avada Kedavra' and 'Abracadabra'?

One used to kill and the other we used to say while playing when we were kids! Strange Rowling chose that spell which was always innocently used! But I liked her choice :D

Actually Abracadabra was probably originally used in the Shakespearean play Macbeth par witches who were anything but innocent (they caused the downfall of the tragic hero and their potion included ingredients such as Turk's nose and Liver of a blaspheming Jew.) so that's probably where J.K. got the spell from.

I'm lire Macbeth in English right now and when I heard the witches use Abracadabra I figured that Shakespeare was probably the coiner of the phrase.

It was pretty much the first thought I had when I read about Avada Kedavra for the first time.

well yeah and i thought it was stupid for doing that until i payed attention in my ELAR class. a parently "Cadaver" means "Dead body" ou "Corpse"(i cant spell so deal with it) so i always thought thats how they thought of "Kedavra".

so kiddies it helps to listen in ELAR :P

Abracadabra is actually Aramaic for "let the thing be destroyed". J.K. Rowling made that into Avada Kedavra, because basically the thing getting destoyed is the person ou object in front of you.
