Disputatio:Lingua Latina in libris de Harrio Potter/Nova verba

Hmm...my dictionaries say "vivarium" for zoo. Why was a new word (or i should say phrase) invented? --24.239.55.46 05:04, 22 Iulii 2007 (UTC)

I just take the words of w:Peter Needham, the translater, so I cannot answer nor do I know whether it is a new word. (I would not be surprised if in another dictionary you could find Needham's word.) --Alex1011 09:24, 22 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
