zanooda:

I would certainly agree with you, "ApparAtion" (with "a") seems more 
correct, but shouldn't we follow the author on this? In the books it's 
always "ApparItion" (with "i"), in both British and American editions, 
so I think we should write it as JKR writes it, even if the 
word "apparition" reminds me strongly of ghosts :-).
