Harry Potter's World
Our generation grew up with Harry Potter. As young children we listened raptly as our parents read aloud the stories of a boy discovering he had magical powers and a world of wizards and dragons, house-elves and quidditch. As preteens we aged with [...]Harry, following his explorations of the magical world as we navigated the halls of junior high. In high school, we waited in line at midnight to buy the latest installment.
So what better way to spend spring break than a trip to Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter?

Book Historian Explains Why Some Famous Novels Have Different Titles in Britain and the US
Back in the late 1990s, when the first Harry Potter book was becoming a global phenomenon, children in Britain and the United States were actually reading two different books–okay, the content of the books was (mostly) the same, but the titles were [...]different: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone" in the UK, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" in the US. From Jane Austin to Agatha Christie, it turns out that this kind of thing has been happening for centuries, although not always for the same reasons. Joseph Rezek, Boston University associate professor of English and director of BU's American and New England Studies program, is both a scholar of literature and a book historian. In our video mini-explainer, Rezek breaks down the complex history behind why the same book often ends up with different titles in Britain and the United States.
