I'm well known at the high school as the teacher who's the Harry Potter nerd. I have random kids wander into my room to check out my Deathly Hallows movie posters (real ones that were displayed in the local theater--they're HUGE). It's funny how many closet Harry Potter fans walk the school halls, including big burly gang members which I find hilarious.

Last month a group of boys came into my room and asked me if I would be the sponsor of a school Quidditch team. I never thought I would be sitting down with my principal selling the idea of a Quidditch team, but there I was showing him the computer presentation that the boys had created (such nerds - I say that with greatest affection). The team has been approved, nearly 50 kids are joining, and practices with start soon. Yup, Harry Potter fan here.
