Praedico Predico was a shop in Diagon Alley in London, England. It sold lucky charms, fortune talismans, and amulets, as well as fish for use in the divination practise of ichthyomancy. It was located between Janus Galloglass and Twinkle's Telescopes.[1]
Etymology[]
- "Praedico" is a Latin term that can mean "I proclaim, declare publicly, announce" (or, in an ecclesiastical context, "I preach the gospel") or, in a different sense, "I foretell, predict, advise, give warning of". "Predico" is, in several Romance languages, a form of the verb "to preach", or of "to predicate".
