Programme 1

Activities

 

Before watching

  • Ask children to consider which elements of the Harry Potter books they like.

After watching

  • Design a class survey of readers' responses to the characters in Harry Potter stories. What makes them so credible? What makes you like, loathe or fear them? Record results.
  • Use a selection of the Harry Potter books to create a word search of the most effective descriptions used to portray Rowling's characters.
  • Using the game played in the programme as a model, children write down the rules of playing the Muggles version of quidditch.
