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?
