"illi enim nesciunt nobis non licere domi artibus magicis uti"

I have at last finished reading Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis on the T.

I feel rather smug about this, as you can probably tell because a) I'm posting about it, and b) the subject line says, "They don't know we're not allowed to use magic at home".

The translation seems pretty accessible as far as I can tell, although certain things are a bit odd. For example, Blaise Zabini is a girl, and phrases like "Malfoy draconem viderat" tend to take on new and mildly hilarious dimensions.

classics majors are hardcore, latin
