Revision as of 01:34, 21 January 2013
Name?
The source given for this article's name is the HP Lexicon, which, while it's a very good fansite, is still a fansite. Has this spell been referred to as the Boggart-Banishing Spell in any source we consider canon? If not, it needs to be moved back to Riddikulus. -- 1337star (talk) 18:53, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

I understand that it is referred to as "boggart banishing spell" in the fifth book; however, this is not capitalized. So should we name this "Boggart banishing spell" all lower-case except the first word, or should we name it "Riddikulus", which is what Pottermore has it as? --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 19:51, January 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I think maybe the former, but let's see what some others think. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:11, January 20, 2013 (UTC)
