Fera or Vera?
Ok, having watched the movie, the subtitles spell the spell Vera, not Fera. While I am perfectly willing to believe it should be Fera, this is not what the movie says, and since this spell is not in the books, the movie is the only source (other then JK, but I dont see an interview with her on the page). If you listen to the movie, you'll notice it is clearly Fera, not Vera. Unfortunately, not everyone is perfect, and there was a mistake when the subtitles were made.64.114.58.93 16:36, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

I don't mean to disrespect your opinion, 64.114.58.93, but when I listened to the film it sounded more like a murky cross between Fera and Vera. 99.252.196.61 03:54, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

What is the source for this being Fera Verto as opposed to Vera Verto, as the subtitles for the DVD apparently state? If it's merely based on one's interpretation of what's being said, we've decided on another case that what the subtitles say should be used. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 23:26, July 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't exactly know how much help it is, but I have a link here supporting "Fera" instead of "Vera": http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_films.html#fera_verto. Of course, I agree that it sounds like Vera Verto, and the subtitles say so. 99.252.196.61 00:25, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid it's not any help - the Lexicon is a fan-site and therefore not a canon source. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:40, August 1, 2012 (UTC)Game Guides


 * I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that - thanks :). I'll have to remember for next time. 99.252.196.61 03:54, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * The subtitles spell it "Vera Verto" all right (check this picture). While I do think the actors say "Fera Verto", this is the only official transcription we can go by. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:07, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * What about closed-captioning? When the film airs on ABC Family, I think the wording that appears on Fera Verto, but don't quote me on that until the next time that ABC Family runs the film. (Unless someone has an airing saved and could check.) ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:39, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * This copy of the script also says "Vera verto" (although only the first "V" is capitalized). - Nick O'Demus 08:22, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Subtitles are based on what that person who writes them hears. I never count them as canon. "Fera" makes more sense if you look at the etymology. Fera means something along the lines of beast, whilst Vera means true. -- PerryPeverell 13:01, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
