Well, I got to talk about Harry Potter for money... :) I have an 
English student, who's 18 and is applying to a university here in 
Budapest to study English as his major. He wanted to speak to someone 
who was actually British to improve his conversation and eventually 
found me. Anyway, he has just come 9th in THE national competition of 
high school students (in the category of English, of course), which 
means he doesn't need to do any entrance exam for the university 
course - the first ten people from the competition are in 
automatically, if they want. So one of the articles he had to read 
for the competition was on Harry Potter (and why adults read it), so 
we sat on the bank of the Danube in the wind for an hour and 
discussed it all in beautiful recieved pronunciation. And I got payed 
well for my efforts. :)
