the AK curse. I have absolutely no recollection of that happening in any of
the books. Anyone else?

Chancie:
I found a note at HP-Lexicon saying
"Abracadabra is a cabalistic charm in Judaic
mythology that is supposed to bring healing
powers. One of its sources is believed to be
from Aramaic avada kedavra, another is the
Phonenician alphabet (a-bra-ca-dabra-)
It is NO WHERE mentioned that Harry
said "abaracabra" anywhere in the books
perhaps your Husband read this somewhere,
and thought he read it in the books?
Hope this helped. You can search any spell
by going to this link at the lexicon.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!
