    That's just extremely gay and stupid as hell. Harry Potter has no place in Paleontology.

    It's just stupid. What the hell does Harry Potter got to do with the remains of dino's? I think it's kind of sad.

    Its the fact that it looks like a dragon on the face I believe... but still, not hogwartsia, something more snazy, like... uh... I don't know. And where in the hell did Dracoex come from?

    It says in the article. Draco = dragon, rex = king.

    I don't really care either way about it myself, though it's good for a laugh.

    That is just...just so...wow...

    Good for a slight chuckle, but Jesus, Son of God, what a pathetic loser that paleontologist must be.

    Oh my god. I don't really care but this name is stupid enough to deserve an award. Dracorex is somewhat OK, but hogwartsia? What was he thinking?

    This is vaguely amusing...but really kind of lame. I found it especially funny that Rowling's name was spelled wrong...

    Dracorex is a completely appropriate name, considering it looks like a dragon. Draco is the latin word for dragon, and Draco Malfoy was named after this. Rex is king, thus the genus "King of Dragons". I'll admit, the Hogwartsia bit is rather pathetic, but even so it's a look into how deeply Harry Potter has become a part of our society. In a way, rather cool. Lame species name, but interesting nonetheless.

    The only part of it that looks like a dragon is the head, nothing else. It doesn't even have wings...

    Your point being? There are far worse named species...living and extinct.

    True. Heh, this whole thing reminds me of the program on Discovery Channel on a plausible way to show that dragons truely could have existed.
