 scientists in the world, formally announce the naming of a
 66-million-year-old, first-of- its-kind, dragon-like dinosaur in honor of

 hogwartsia, from the Latin words draco (meaning dragon), rex (meaning
 king), and hogwartsia (after the fictional Hogwarts School for Witchcraft
 and Wizardry created by J.K. Rowling), conjures up visions of ancient
 majestic beasts. Dracorex hogwartsia will be unveiled May 22, 2006 at 10

 The Children's Museum of Indianapolis through the summer. It will then move

 million immersive dinosaur experience for children and families.
 Dinosphere(R) houses one of the largest displays of real juvenile and
 family dinosaur fossils in the United States.
