Potioncat:
Of course, the movies are not canon. The names on the shield may be a 
clue or just a movie insert...perhaps we'll find King in the credits 
if we look.  But in movie CoS we have Snape speaking an "evanesca" 
spell before we had seen one written in the books.  
I realized this after trying to find information about "evanesca" in 
the Lexicon.  I decided that the movie folks had made it 
up for a more dramatic scene.  Then, "evanesca" appeared in OoP.  I 
will of course eat magical crow if anyone has information that 
contradicts this.
