It baffles and infuriates me that Hogwarts students don’t take Latin or Greek. Accio? Literally “I summon.” Lumos? Fucking “light.” Expelliarmus? Expel weapon!! Ooooh I wonder what Levicorpus does– you Dumb Ass Bastard. You ILLITERATE. It’s called Levicorpus, it lifts someone’s body, it LEVIES your goddamn CORPUS-

The New York Times ran an article about a Catholic college in Wyoming where they ‘take grueling mountain hikes conducted entirely in Latin’, and I’m just like 'idk what the problem is.’

I'm sorry, but this is just plain wrong. This translation should be Grumio was pissed. But if you wanted the English to stay the same, and change the Latin, then it would be Grumio est iratus. Jeez guys. Know your tenses.

And a translation of this is:

hic Tardis huius Tardis huic Tardi hunc Tardem ab hoc Tarde o Tardis hi Tardes horum Tardium his Tardibus hos Tardes ab his Tardibus o Tardes
