Hey All! My players are amped up to play a Potter-verse-style game, and it occurred to me that with a little gentle fudging, a lot of the Potter "verbal components" could be made to fit into D&D. Please excuse the length of the post, but with my love of the Final Fantasy games, and about a week of time, I took it upon myself. If anyone would like a more manageable word doc of this thing let me know.

I think this is really cool. It's a bit hard to find specific spells though. Also, I have some things to say in terms of your verbal components versus the Harry Potter ones:
1. I don't see one for knock in here, but according to the novels, Alohomora is the incantation for opening doors.
2. I feel that the guardian of faith would be a good version of the Patronus charm.
3. Petrificus Totalus in the books does not turn one to stone. Rather, it merely paralyzes them. Hold monster or hold person I feel would be more appropriate.
4. In the books, Imperio does not only control beasts, but any creature.
This is what I have so far. I will keep looking into this, though.

Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
Hi DungeonLord58! Thanks for your feedback! Regarding searches, I'll admit trying to copy and paste a word doc into a forum post isn't ideal. Control+F is your friend, though! I'm debating putting this into a spreadsheet for easy searching.
1) I wanted to balance putting some sort of unified, logical system in place rather than being 100% accurate to Rowling's work. For example, "knock" is ostensibly the opposite of "lock," but in the books they're wildly different spell names that have no common origin or root words. Why wouldn't one just be the anti-charm of the other? So I used Rowling's "colloporto" as "arcane lock," and "finite colloporto" as knock. See? Logic! If your players think it has to be Rowling's way, more power to 'em.
2) I like your idea better, consider it added! That makes Guardian of Faith "Patronus Sanctua," and Spirit Guardians "Patronus Aetherio." I dropped "Expecto" because although it's a nice Latin in-joke in that Harry is "expecting his father," ("expecto patronum"), that particular modifier doesn't appear anywhere else in the Potterverse that I'm aware of, so out it goes!
3) Along the same lines, according to Rowling you're 100% correct. However, naming a spell "Petrificus Totalus" and NOT having it turn to stone is a waste of a great series of spell names. That's why I went with "Impedimenta" for "holding" spells and "petrificus" for stone spells. They're grouped by logical spell effect, not 100% fidelity with Rowling, who again, is a nice lady and I can't argue with her success. Her logic, however... :)
4) You're right again. Is there a more appropriate spell with a similar effect in D&D? If so, let's swap 'em. I also had to consider how long I wanted verbal spell components to be and whether players would balk at the length. I didn't want these to sound like someone doing a bad latin prayer reading so I had to keep 'em short. :)
Excellent feedback, thanks! Maybe you'll notice a couple sly references to other famous pop culture things in there, too, but here's a freebie: I've renamed the D&D spell "Jump." Rowling calls it "ascendio," but then "levitate" is "wingardium leviosa." You can see the problem, no common root word. So my new version of Jump, updated from the above, is...

I think this is really cool. It's a bit hard to find specific spells though. Also, I have some things to say in terms of your verbal components versus the Harry Potter ones:
1. I don't see one for knock in here, but according to the novels, Alohomora is the incantation for opening doors.
2. I feel that the guardian of faith would be a good version of the Patronus charm.
3. Petrificus Totalus in the books does not turn one to stone. Rather, it merely paralyzes them. Hold monster or hold person I feel would be more appropriate.
4. In the books, Imperio does not only control beasts, but any creature.
This is what I have so far. I will keep looking into this, though.
Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
Hi DungeonLord58! Thanks for your feedback! Regarding searches, I'll admit trying to copy and paste a word doc into a forum post isn't ideal. Control+F is your friend, though! I'm debating putting this into a spreadsheet for easy searching.
1) I wanted to balance putting some sort of unified, logical system in place rather than being 100% accurate to Rowling's work. For example, "knock" is ostensibly the opposite of "lock," but in the books they're wildly different spell names that have no common origin or root words. Why wouldn't one just be the anti-charm of the other? So I used Rowling's "colloporto" as "arcane lock," and "finite colloporto" as knock. See? Logic! If your players think it has to be Rowling's way, more power to 'em.
2) I like your idea better, consider it added! That makes Guardian of Faith "Patronus Sanctua," and Spirit Guardians "Patronus Aetherio." I dropped "Expecto" because although it's a nice Latin in-joke in that Harry is "expecting his father," ("expecto patronum"), that particular modifier doesn't appear anywhere else in the Potterverse that I'm aware of, so out it goes!
3) Along the same lines, according to Rowling you're 100% correct. However, naming a spell "Petrificus Totalus" and NOT having it turn to stone is a waste of a great series of spell names. That's why I went with "Impedimenta" for "holding" spells and "petrificus" for stone spells. They're grouped by logical spell effect, not 100% fidelity with Rowling, who again, is a nice lady and I can't argue with her success. Her logic, however... :)
4) You're right again. Is there a more appropriate spell with a similar effect in D&D? If so, let's swap 'em. I also had to consider how long I wanted verbal spell components to be and whether players would balk at the length. I didn't want these to sound like someone doing a bad latin prayer reading so I had to keep 'em short. :)
Excellent feedback, thanks! Maybe you'll notice a couple sly references to other famous pop culture things in there, too, but here's a freebie: I've renamed the D&D spell "Jump." Rowling calls it "ascendio," but then "levitate" is "wingardium leviosa." You can see the problem, no common root word. So my new version of Jump, updated from the above, is...
"LEVIOHALEN"!!!
...For all you darn whippersnappers who don't get the reference... https://youtu.be/SwYN7mTi6HM?t=72
This will definitely get your bard pumped to cast the spell, hehehe.
