I got all the Latin references too, Sinsull but that only added to my enjoyment of every page of the four books! We haven't seen the film yet but I have promised to take Alec for his birthday in a couple of weeks. To the best of my knowledge he hasn'r read a book that wasn't a school text for ages but just couldn't put the Harry Potter books down! Personally I would not allow any child under the age of ten to read them and will not be taking Maddie (Little Duckling) to see the film as she is only 7. Just waiting for Ms Rowling to finish number 5 now!
