Harry Potter is everywhere
I'm sitting here watching Cash Cab on TV. For those who don't know it, Cash Cab is a game show that involves innocent cab passengers being asked trivia questions for money as they drive along to their destination.
This episode saw five bright young women from Newfoundland -- they seem like a fun bunch, to be honest -- jump into the cab and then reel off correct answer after correct answer.
Why am I writing about this on my Harry Potter blog?
Because one of the questions they faced was something like "A Centaur is a mythical being made up of two types of animal: human and what other animal?"
Without hesitating for even a second, several of the young women called out "a horse" and then started chanting "Harry Potter, Harry Potter".
It was an awesome moment for all of us Potter fans. I'll even forgive these fine young Newfoundlanders for asking that their Harry Potter moment be edited out before the show was aired.
Sadly, despite bringing me such joy, the five managed to lose all their money on the final, all or nothing question, when they didn't know that an ice berg floats because it is less dense than the water in which it floats.
Oh well. They had their moment in the sun. And they got most of the questions right. And they made a Harry Potter fan very happy.
