Avada Kedavra sounds pretty similar to Abracadabra, tbh.

Avada Kedavra, otherwise known as the Killing Curse, is one of the three Unforgivable Curses in Harry Potter's Wizarding World.

One Reddit user named jodatoufin recently posed an interesting theory about the possible connection between Avada Kedavra and a similar sounding magical phrase in the Muggle world: Abracadabra.

This fan thinks the phrase alludes to a deep, dark history between Muggles and Wizards, so much so that, "even after the idea of wizards faded into mythology, among muggles the killing curse became a thing of folklore."
