OOOh, I have so many...there's Quidditch, because it's the best sport ever, and it's really fun to say. There's Muggle, I remember reading that for the first time and thinking "What?" Then there's Dumbledore; who doesn't love saying that? biggrin.gif Then my favorite spell words are Agimente (sp?) and Accio, just because they're so different. That's about it for now, my memory just faded.
Horace Slughorn
I know I am going to sound really silly because I dont even know how to spell my favorite Harry Potter word! But Oh well! My favorite word has got to be Tarantelegra! Oh it is just so pathetic that I don't know how to spell it! ohmy.gif

I really like this word because it just roles off the tongue and it is like tarantula, with all the legs moving uncontrollably.

My second would have to be Morsmordre! I don't really know why, but it is just pretty cool! wink.gif

I think my favorite word has to be veritaserum. It just rolls off the tounge, plus, its the name of my favorite HP site!

My other favorite words I have to say are
Buterbeer- It just sounds tasty!
U-no-poo!- I know this isn't a real word, but I love it anyways
Kneazle-I heard about it on JK's site and it just struck me as an awesome word.
Hippogriff- It reminds me of hippos! lol

I would have to say that my favourite word would be Wingardium Leviosa-yip,i am traditional stupid.gif

I think that it has a kind of history about it and it also has that catchy way about it...
I think my second choice would be Sectumsempra cos it has a mysterious feel about it and it seems very powerful just when you say it magic.gif

Then for my third choice I would have to say that Wizingamot is pretty cool cos it has a funnyness about it and I honestly don't think thats a word-funnyness... rolleyes.gif

Then for my final choice I would chose Snidget or snitch...They are cute words.... pinch.gif
FawkesThePheonix
Man this is a great topic! My fave words are Muggle (gosh just rolls off the tounge), Quidditch! and Felix Felicius (sp)? I love all the funny words though these are my faves!
amanda1212
I think that the Alohamora spell is my favorite word. It just rolls off the tounge. A close seconed would have to be Quidditch. I love saying it with a British accent!!

It's "oddment" I think. "Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak." smile.gif

My favorites are Muggle and Pensieve.

Muggle because it sounds what it means.
Pensieve, because it's a clever play of words. smile.gif
big_al
Nice topic smile.gif
Mine are - Muggle, Quidditch and Butterbeer (ever since i heard it, i have wanted someone to invent it so i can have a taste).
also - Hermione - I know that it's not a magical word, but I had never heard the name before HP
HPFan792
Well i would say that my favorite magical word is Muggle.I love that word.My second favorite magical word is Accio. biggrin.gif




Her_mo_ninny917
i like flourish and blotts, dedalus diggle, felix felicis, floran fortescues, sellotape, and basically any other alliteration name in the book happy.gif
MrsCedricDiggory
Locomotor Mortis and Pygmypuff biggrin.gif
Lang
I'm all for Luna and her creations. Crumpled Horned Snorkack happy.gif
swhitney536
I don't know if this is a made up word or not, but I've never heard it before so I'll assume it is, but my favortie word is snogging, it's just like the best word ever.
rosexxxriddle
Okay, it is a couple of words, but they were part of a spell. "Peskipiksi Pesternomi"

Remember the spell Lockhart used to get rid of the pixies? There it is, and I love it. Turns out things that aren't real in the wizarding world are the funniest things.

Ooooh, and I also like the words "Crumple-Horned Snorkack". Funny stuff.
Scrambler
I really like Muggle. It's such a nice sounding word that you would not even think it's condescending. lol Of course Alohamora is a pretty nice word for a spell and it sure sounds a lot like Aloha. Wounder if JK like the islands. unsure.gif
Potter_Addict_713
Great topic! I have to agree with Scrambler, Muggle is a pretty cool word.



But for some reason the spell Sectumsempra sounds pretty cool to me. I know it's a very dangerous spell and can kill someone with it hits them and they don't get attention right away, but I give extreme cradit to JK for making it up. I don't know how she can think up all these spells. It's so cool. and i found a Wikipedia site that says what all the spells mean and do. its so cool. I any of you would like the site just PM me.

Anyways, back to my favorite word, I love this spell. Sectum means cut and sempra means always. That is soo cool.

K.Lupin_werewolf
ear wax every flavour beans! he he

i was just joking. i agree with Potter_Addict_713 because Sectumsempra is like a wow word but then again i think all J. K's spell names are well thought of and so cool.
lozza-cm
i would have to say butter beer i always dink stuff that i imagin it looking like and i am like hmmm butterbeer but i imagine it tastes like worthers originals so when i eat them i am like mmm butter beer, of course my friends think i am out of my mind, but her you think i am normal right?
poltergiest
ahhh well i like the word Silencio! it has a nice ring to it and i like itz use also if any one is troubling u then just shout Silencio! and he wont speak a word!silencio is a nice charm!
elizabethsprague
Occlumency has a nice ring to it reminds me of something flowing. Also has a roil off the thong and macks me happy. biggrin.gif
HermioneClone
Hehe. . .I like this thread. I have quite a few favorite words, which I like for the way they sound. I really like Sectumsempra, pygmypuff, Muggle, bubotuber, Crookshanks, and Lupin. I think Dumbledore is a really cool name and word. I love most of JKR's wizarding words. They are all very well thought out and if you look closely they have meanings and you can follow their origins. One I can think of is "Lupin." It derives from the word "canis lupus" which is the scientific word for "wolf." Of course, Lupin is a werewolf and that's where his name comes from. wink.gif
Fall_out_Girl
i like "Alohomora"...it sounds catchy, well to me it does.

and "Amortentia"...like i said above, sounds catchy to me, and i think it has a nice ring to it.

"Sectumsepra" has a nice ring to it also.

and "Muggle"...haha i think it sounds nice and sort of funny.
After the Burial
Oh goodness, the magical world is full of excellent words. I suppose mine is Godric. I love Godric Gryffindor, Godric's Hollow (which I always envisioned as an ancient wizarding village...former home to Gryffindor....maintained in its ancient glory by spells and old wizards that live there).

My favorite spell? I am inclined to say protego. I like the defensive aspect of magic more than the offensive. My favorite name for a spell is expecto patronum.
My favorite potion is felix felicis. My favorite name of a spell is amortentia.
Harry Potter Fan
I just like Harry Potter. I have a favorite quote "Now, if either of you too don't mind, I'm going to bed before you come up with another clever idea to get us killed or worse expelled."

Hi

My Favourite Word:

Quidditch it just sounds like a really fun sport

My Favourite Spell:

Sectumsepra
lightsbane
my favorite word would have to be diddykins or sectumsempra i like the way they sound. happy.gif
shelerella
I'm going to say first and foremost Butter Beer because honestly it sounds really tasty for some bizarre reason...Real beer...not so much...trust me...But butter beer??? Yum! Otherwise I really like the word Muggle..It just sounds so doofy, and face it..a lot of people are. My favorite spell is probably the patronus spell only because when PoA came out my son was four and he would go around the house yelling Espeso patonuuum, and poiting a stick at everybody..It was hilarious!
After the Burial
I think that wingardium leviosa rolls of the tongue nicely. I also like the spell that turns Scabbers into a goblet. "One, two, three. Veraverto." (sp? in books?)
gryffindorgirlie
Veritaserum, obviously!
Other than that I like Dumbledore, transfiguration and boggart. I also like the word basalisk. AHHH now I cant make up my mind
Note: and hedwig too.
CAPS LOCK
my favorite word would have to be ummm.... hmmmm...... ohhhh i know! it would be wingardiu leviosa... it sounds so cool. it just rolls off your tounge
Auror14
My favorite word(s) in the books have got to be Mimbulus mimbletonia. I just like the way they go together. I also like Snorkack, if I spelled that right.
mjane95
I have three. Hogsmede,Hogwarts and Snitch. These are soo cool sounding. And Hogwarts sounds like a fantastic place to visit. Snitch sounds like a bad word but it's not.
Bad Wolf,
MJ
DoubleD
Agreeing with lots of people in here: Veritaserum sounds very cool. But I also do like Sectumsempra (it sounds so cool and evil). But thinking about it for a longer time, I come to the conclusion that Flagrate, the spell that Hermione used to mark the doors in the Ministry of Magic sounds best.
black_roses
Wingardium Leviosa...it just rolls off the tongue. The first time I read it, I couldn't stop saying for days! laugh.gif
DracosLady
My faves are : Slytherin, Quidditch, and Alohomora I just like those words for some reason, tehy just have a nice ring too them I guess and since I am in Slytherin that is the biggest reason why that word holds a place in my heart lol tongue.gif
Spencer Potter
My few favourites are Expelliaramus, Bombarda, Gryffindor, Jiggery Pokery lol. A few of my favourites, loads more but whos got time to post it all? happy.gif
Ginny_Hermione
I happen to have a lot of favorites!! But I really like butterbeer, I love the way is sounds for some reason, veritaserum, a really cool word, and I love the way Snape says it when he's threatning Harry. Snuffles, just a really fun word to say!! Hippogriff, it's just an exotic type word, and an awesome creature. And lastly animagus, I just love that word, it is fun to say for me. Animagus!! Animagus!! tongue.gif Sorry, but I really like that one! Those are the ones I can think of!!

Ginny.... cool.gif
unforgivables
mine would be avada kedavra with a lot of voldemort accent....or peter pettigrew.i don't know why but the name is perfect!!!i mean with a lot of english accent and a bit of sirius like voice,it's perfect!!!
kiss it better
My favourite word... is actually Voldemort. I don't know why, it just... fits. And of course, I love the whole anagram thing.
After that, I'd have to say... avada kedavra. I don't know why that one either.
Lastly, I'll go for Rictusempra, which is used just once is CoS, but I still loved it. I find myself whispering "rictusempra" at people sometimes.
Nawal
Ummm..it's really hard to say just one favourite word.I have so many of them...so...here goes,I like 'expelliarmus' they way harry and snape say that it just sounds so cool.Umm..'sectesumpra' is another one I like.I like 'muggles' and 'silencio'.I love the word 'Felix Felicis'.I had to to say that word 10 times to get it right. laugh.gif ummm...and ,oh yeah 'Roonil Wazlib' is one of my favourites too.
priorincantato
Ahh there's no way I could choose just one word as my favorite. I like the sound of prior incantato (hence my username!) and finite incantatem. Maybe I just like the sound of latin all together haha. I think a favorite word of something that's not a spell, though, would be bludger, hippogriff, or bubotuber.
HPfan#1
Ermmm.....favourite wizarding words *scratches head thinking* !!! Quidditch, Griffindor, wand, accio, expelliarmius, phoenix, hippogriff, dragons and of course veritaserum laugh.gif!!!
SlytherinHeadGirl05

Aniiuum
mm i think my favourite has to be: Avada Kedavra!! i love that word.. i mean, i know that's spooky, but i use it a lot when it's about annoying people!! hahaha i imagine them falling death haha

i like butter beer too!! and, i don't know if it's a magical word, but when Ron says: Bloody Hell!! hahaha
