The following story will help clarify the meanings of wizard-like vocabulary: (thank you, Harry Potter!):



What a surprise! When we shouted, ABRACADABRA to scare off that pesky raccoon that ran across our lawn, all of a sudden, it disappeared! I looked at my sister, Susan, and told her that the disappearance might be a HARBINGER of events for the evening.
At the costume party, the special featured guests would include an 8′ tall man, a fire-eater, a DWARF and a yodeler. Since Susan loved stories, she had invited a well-known RACONTEUR and an illusionist who promised to show the guests his tricks of LEGERDEMAIN. I asked why no one had thought to welcome a hairy TROLL to add to the motley group!

Here’s what happened…it was unbelievable!

Members of a cross country team came dressed as wizards and wore black hats. They had read books on SORCERY and planned to cast “spells!” Since our soccer goalie was SUPERSTITION, she wore a purple stone on a chain around her neck, an AMULET her grandfather had given her for protection. The English teachers arrived dressed as witches and chanted tunes that were scary. Had there been 13 of them it would have been a COVEN chorale! When a ghost-like form swept through the room, I got goose-bumps and immediately imagined a real SPECTER! Since I was so afraid, I reached for a TALISMAN to aid in my defense. Just then, several people seemed to go BERSERK as they ran into each other and spoke gibberish.
It was all so odd that I even wondered if Sally, a guest, was being CLAIRVOYANT when she muttered, “Next thing you know, some LYCANTHROPE and goblin will appear to PETRIFY us into stone!” Yikes!
