[LM_NET] Gen: words from Harry Potter

[Mindy Doler <mdoler@OCONEE.K12.GA.US>]

Good afternoon all!

I love catching the interesting word play within the Harry Potter series and
I think I just came across another one.  I found this on my "Word Origins"
word-a-day calendar.  Sturm und Drang, noun meaning turmoil.  It comes from
German, literally storm and stress.  I think it is very close to the name of
the magical school in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Durmstrang.  I
wish I could ask J.K. herself.  What do you think?
