In addition to Prof. Elizabeth’s review of HogPro’s Greatest Hits on the Panem Saga, I’ll be giving three lectures, one on each of the three novels, at Full Circle bookstore in Oklahoma City.

You know you’re really an adult Harry Potter fan when…
…you know that Bellatrix Lestrange was born in the same year as your older sister.
…your thesis paper for your M.S. in Adolescent Education would be titled The Pedagogy of Albus Dumbledore.
…you wonder why the Slytherins don’t all come down with pneumonia and mildew living in those damp caves under the lake. (Oh, yeah…magic.)
