Why are all of the Harry Potter spells in Latin when all the movies are in English?

0

Because Latin is an older language than English, and if wizardry itself is older than the English language (in the Harry Potter universe,) than of course the spells would be in Latin, not English. As a matter of fact, many ancient texts in real life were originally written in Latin, and have been translated throughout the ages.
