"Professor Dumbledore" he said,  his eyes widening.  "Harryâ€" what

Tonks here:

Ennervate. In English only one N. Enervate. At first I  thought this 
is the name of the spell. But it is an English word take from  Latin. 
The on-line dictonary says:
It comes from Latin nervus, "sinew."  Thus enervate means "to cause 
to become `out of muscle'," that is, "to  weaken or deplete of 
strength."

Chancie:
 
It is the name of a spell.  But not the spell for the "ghostly  bird"
It is the spell to revive Krum from unconcousness.  If you  noticed,
the silvery being came out of his wand prior to his muttering
"Ennerviate".  I don't understand what you mean by "in english
only one N" though.  Please elaborate!  
 
Chancie~ who doesn't know how the symbols "â€" ended up
in her post when she wrote in a long dash as it appears in 
her copy of GOF.
