One of my favorite quotes from the entire Harry Potter series turns up in next week’s assigned chapters. See if you can find this chestnut while you read chapters 11 and 12 before Friday, July 31st. I may just have to get one of these for my office in tribute to a great line from a great (fictional) man.

While gazing in the Mirror of Erised, I’m sure you viewed your “deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts” (page 213): no homework. I’m happy to make that desire your reality: no assignment this week. Happy reading, Potterheads!
