Yahoo => New Dinosaur Species Gets a Touch of Harry Potter With Help From PHMC Staffer

HARRISBURG, Pa. Visitors to the State Museum can get a taste of Harry Potter and brush with prehistoric America with a newly discovered dinosaur species that got its name thanks to the help of a Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission paleontologist.

“Dracorex hogwartsia”!!!! I had hoped this wasn’t real when I first saw it on some Harry Potter fan boy site… Think of all those poor hippies’ children named “Moonbeam”, “Freedom” and “Solstice”. All the other dinosaurs in Dinosaur Heaven are going to pick on him.
