Before I say any of this, let me put a disclaimer here, that it is possible that JKR simply sits down with a Latin dictionary and doesn't take the time to think about what would or would not be grammatically correct.  That point aside:

rictus = open mouth or jaws
semper = always

As for Draco's spell:

inverti/inverto = turn upside down
status = position

That's because Draco's incantation was not given in the book, only the result.  Rictusempra was in the book.  Although with a very different result.

Is it my imagination, or didn't the producers pretty much rule out Ewan McGregor?  By saying he'd be great BUT they were looking for contemporaries of Alan Rickman.

Particularly someone who's probably never been to Colorado?  I was wondering that myself.  I actually hadn't determined what the thing said (except the buffalo part) until my aunt saw the premiere pictures, she recognized it as Colorado Buffaloes because her son works in Colorado.  I'd love to know the story behind that one!
