And the really amusing thing is that he hadn't even read the books. He was just generally delighted by a great many things about pop culture...like when he first heard Rihanna's "Umbrella" and came into class saying "Umbrella. Ella. Ella" for 3 days straight. You'd never know he was in his 50's.

Most of my professors start to look at you funny if you bring up Harry Potter in class for any reason other than to discuss popular literacy.
Aw, that's too bad. One girl in Shakespeare - er, it might have been the same girl, now that I think about it...I suspect she is in fandom -

The image of a fifty-year-old professor singing along to "Umbrella" is sublime. XD Although I completely understand why it was stuck in his head.
