Harry Potter 6: Snape’s spelling mistake that no one noticed

Severus Snape seems to be better at magic than at spelling. Back to the little mistake that slipped between the pages of his famous grimoire in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, broadcast tonight on TF1.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth installment of the magical saga, which airs tonight on TF1, a young wizard played by Daniel Radcliffe comes into his hands with a strange manual of magic that allows him to greatly improve his current level. .

This old grimoire, which had belonged to Severus Snape when he himself was a sixth year student at Hogwarts, was literally covered with annotations and comments by its former owner. But even if these many handwritten references turn out to be very instructive, one of them hides a beautiful spelling error!

Indeed, as Michelle and Michelle explain in False Fitting for the sixth Harry Potter book, during a brief transition sequence that explores the pages of the notebook, we see Severus Snape make a mistake by writing the name of the spell: septumpSempra instead of Septumsempra.

A curse he invented himself and which J.K. Rowling’s original works are spelled with one “p”. This evil spell, used to cut an enemy like a knife, is inspired by the Latin words “sectus” (meaning “to cut”) and “semper” (meaning “always”).

One who calls himself a half-blood prince therefore seems better at conjuring potions or spells than spelling their name correctly.
