"Impera Evanesca" - was Re: Movie Hints

[backstagemystic]

A couple folks asked/speculated about the incantation Snape used to 
make the snake disappear in the dueling scene.

I did a bit of research at an online Latin dictionary website.

"Impera Evanesca" can be loosely translated as "You are commanded to 
vanish." (I'm sure there are Latin experts out there who can give a 
more precise translation, but there you go.).
