While I've been a member of the original group for about a year now,
I am a recent member of the movie list, so I don't remember this
topic. I'm hoping that I will not anger anyone by being repetitive
by being repetitive by being repetitive. :)
Since CoS has been on HBO a billion times this month, I've been
watching it a lot more than I normally would and have noticed a few
things.
First, during the dueling club scene when Snape goes to get rid of
the snake, he says something that I can't remember and
then "Evanesca." Now, I don't remember ever hearing the "Evanesco"
command before OoP; however, this clearly is the same type of
command. My guess is that JK shared this incantation with Chris
Columbus during the making of CoS.
This leads me to my second observation, and question. While from GoF
on, we are aware of "Stupify" and "Impedimenta", I do not recall the
incantation Harry uses to get rid of the spiders in the CoS movie.
Riddle is heard using it during the "50 years ago" scene when he
catches Hagrid, and Harry then uses it when he and Ron are in the
hollow with Aragog and his extended family - more specifically, he
uses it when Ron is being attacked by the spider once they get back
into the car. Now, the exact incantation is escaping me right now,
but I know that it did not ring any bells with me as far as the spell
being in any of the books.
Do you think that this incantation will end up in either books 6 or
7, just like the "Evanesca" showed up as "Evanesco" in OoP?
