| Description | Based on the first two books in the Harry Potter series (Harry Potter & the Sorceror's Stone and Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets) we will learn about and experience the Harry Potter world. For example, in Potions we will make concoctions such as "appearing ink." In Care of Magical Creatures we will learn about the mythical animals discussed in the books. We will visit with the Sorting Hat and create our own Quidditch games. Other activities will include Harry Potter board games, comparing the movies with the books, and Harry Potter trivia quizzes. There will be occasional homework assignments, such as coming up with potion recipes or researching a mythical creature. Participants will be expected to have read (or listened to) both books prior to the study group and need to be able to engage in discussion. In addition, children who have read ahead in the series will need to refrain from revealing plot lines from other books. |
