"Well, I'll check the schedule, but I don't see why not. Why are you so interested?"
"Because it's the theme music to Quidditch World Cup! I love that game!"

Sorry, but with all respect, who cares how kids come to love classical music?
I have two kids of my own and I have to drag them to my concerts. Whether they develop a taste from Harry Potter, Bugs Bunny or Elmer Fudd, the simple fact that they are turned on by Verdi..... WOW! Consider yourself lucky!
