Megan Kowalski has been a fan of the Harry Potter series

then, shešs been avidly following Harryšs story all
while graduating high school, earning a bacheloršs degree,
and pursuing a masteršs. She is currently a graduate assistant at Central
Michigan University, where she tries not to use too many Harry Potter
references while shešs teaching English 101.
