The language of magic
Wherever you look, the Harry Potter books are loaded with Latin, from the Hogwarts motto 'Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus' (never tickle a sleeping dragon) to Knockturn Alley ( 'nocturnus' meaning night, apt for a pretty sinister place), and the Truth Potion Veritaserum (from 'veritas', truth).
What is JK Rowling's famous quote?
If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.
