Harry Potter Knows Latin

Yes that's right - the famous Harry Potter knows latin! Before I knew that, I never even picked up a Harry Potter book. Now,I can't put them down.(Really,I think I may be addicted...my mom has to hide them in the mornings so I don't take them to school. I wonder if there is a Harry Potter anonymous meeting somewhere. I'll look into it.)

Anyway,here is the story into how I became a Harry Potter fan. Actually, I can put it in a few bullet points.

~Mon.- My friend's dad asks if I'm going to the new Harry Potter movie.
"No, I haven't even read the books." I reply matter of factly (Harry Potter? Oh yeah, that book about the wizard kid...LAME)

~Wed.- My latin teacher mentions that the Harry Potter series has many latin and greek mythology references.

~ Fri.- I'm done with the series

Just kidding...I'm on the fourth book. I do love these books. Anyone who likes latin or greek mythology would love them. So, if your reading this blog you would like them.

Harry & his friends always say- Lumos(light),deluminator( to take away ligt)
nox(night),obscuro(to not see,darken),reparo(to fix)

Those are just a few examples,but make sure that you look for them next time you read these completely woderful books by J.K. Rowling.
