The wonders of a Harry Potter Education

Being a child of the Harry Potter generation means I've been exposed to two new worlds- the magical wizarding world, and the world of England.

I've always loved England, the history and the culture of it. It was the theme for my 21st birthday! 

And being Australian, the culture gap isn't as big compared to say America and England. But still new words have entered my vocabulary.

Over the weekend as my parents were visiting me, we were playing Scrabble (there was nothing on TV), and I placed down the word "git."

The first thing my mum said was "what's a git?" (She hasn't read the books).

So, I had to explain what a git was. 

I love my parents.
