Ex Cappa was the incantation for a spell of unknown effect.[1]
Etymology[]
- "Ex cappa" is Latin, meaning "from the hat".
- "Ex cappa" is a near-homophone of "escapa", which in several Romance languages is a present indicative or affirmative imperative form of the verb "escapar" (to escape) — which, given the context, seems fitting.
Behind the scenes[]
- In early drafts of the eighth film, Hermione Granger used this spell to try to notify the dragon that it was free, to no avail.[1]
