Interesting! When I awakened my son this morning at six, with,
instead of the usual, "Get up, you rotter, it's time for school,"
asking "What is the name of the Hungarian magic school in the fourth
Harry Potter book," he sat up in bed and said, "Durmstrang!"

_That_ would have been cool.

The situation seems to beg for Vlad, no?
