For my academically inclined readers, please note that there is available a translation of the first installment of the Harry Potter series… in Latin.

Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapi.

Also, note that there is an ancient (Attic? Koine?) Greek version as well.

Yes yes, there’s magic so it’s bad or something. Okay. Let’s relax. I should do a post on “magic” another time… There are distinctions to be made.

But it’s Sunday. So this is it today.

Oh… but we can also note the 485th anniversary of the excommunication of the extremely wicked King Henry VIII by Paul III (in 1538). We pray for our separated brethren in the Anglican Communion and its off-shoots.

Buona domenica…
