Sažetak
Since neologisms are not usually taught in English as a foreign language class, especially to university students who are not the English majors, this research aimed to determine the level of students’ passive and active knowledge of a number of selected neologisms in English, which were used in the Harry Potter book and film series, as well as to check students’ reading comprehension using a text based on the famous series. The results indicated that, generally speaking, the participants' exposure to English, reading, and the Harry Potter series was surprisingly low. Furthermore, this group of students showed a fairly poor passive and active knowledge of the tested neologisms. Also, the mean results on the cloze (M=3.07) and summarizing (M=3.06) task were quite low and it was found that lower self-assessment was a fairly good indicator of the lower results on the cloze test and the summarizing task.
