I saw a college kid wearing a t-shirt with the Hogwarts crest, which has the Latin motto "draco dormiens nunquam titillandus" (='a sleeping dragon should never be tickled').
So, I cut-and-pasted it onto a word file, and will have my Latin students sightread it and then guess where the crest and motto are from.

The Hogwarts school motto is Latin and reads "Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus". The accepted translation of this is "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon", although the precise English version is actually "A Sleeping Dragon Must Never be Tickled".
