In my late, but enjoyable, quest to “read”(Audible) all of the Harry Potter books I ran upon a allusion and Latin refrence. During the 6th book there is a potion which is called “Felix Felicis.” The allusion is both words, in the 70’s the mascot Felix the Cat was very popular and he had the quality of being lucky. The Latin connection is because of the second word of the name, “Felicis” which is very, very close to “Feles” which is “cat” in Latin.
