Adopting Potter Speak

[Marilyn Peake]

Hi, Flop,

I've also been off-list for awhile.  Right after I finished reading 
all six Harry Potter novels, one right after the other, I found 
myself frequently thinking in "Potter Speak".  One night, my family 
went to a music concert.  There was a pile of program schedules; and, 
by the time I went to get one, some were blank due to some kind of 
copying error.  I was just about to laugh and say, "Oh, just like Tom 
Riddle's diary," when I suddenly realized that not everyone standing 
in line might know what I was talking about. :)

Cheers,
Marilyn
