Those kinds of word plays are just one of the reasons I enjoy these
books. It was actually my second time through "Chamber of Secrets" that
I picked up that "Knockturn Alley" was a play on "nocturne." I think
I missed it the first time through because I was reading it to myself
.. the second time I was reading it aloud to my niece. (She didn't
think it was as neat as I did ... "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Can you keep
reading, please?")

Another of my favorite books is "The Phantom Toolbooth." Almost the
whole book is a play on words!
