In less than a month, The Harry Potter saga
will finally be concluded. Latin teachers are gearing up for a new round of students coming to ask them for translations of incantations based on clever word play influenced by the classical languages!Speaking of Latin teachers, have you seen the HogwartsProfessor.com website? If you're a Potter fan, be sure to have plenty of time because there's lots to read and think about here!
John Granger, the full-time Latin and English teacher who blogs on the HogwartsProfessor site is the author of Unlocking Harry Potter: Five Keys for the Serious Reader
, Looking for God in Harry Potter
, The Hidden Key to Harry Potter
and a contributor to Who Killed Albus Dumbledore: What Really Happened in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince?
Having taken a look at his blog, I'm putting these books on my reading list to tide me over until that seventh book comes out!P.S. I know I've mentioned this site before, but here's a great article on incorporating Harry Potter into the Latin classroom. It's also written by 2 Latin teachers, Ginny Lindzey and Clint Hagen.
