<Well personally I am not a parent but my conversations are still riddled
with HP references. But cute comic anyway.>

I'm afraid I missed it. But maybe it's still in the recycle bin. I'll
look through it later.

I'm also not a parent, but keep referring to Harry Potter (or refraining
from it, if I know the other person hasn't read the books).

In fact, one day I was at work, listening to a mother indulge in some
parental boasting, about her 10-year-old math genius son. I jokingly
asked if she'd checked into MIT for him yet.

She said, "No, but I should. He's a wizard."

I laughed and said, "Then you should be getting an owl from Hogwarts
pretty soon."

I figured, with a child that age, she'd definitely get the reference. But
she didn't know what I was talking about.

So, I guess not all parents know HP yet.
