Character Map
Several characters are described in Chapter 1. Begin making a character map with drawings of
each character on one side and a description on the other. Wizards
Albus Dumbledore
He was tall, thin, and very old,
judging by the silver of his hair and
beard, which were both long enough
to tuck into his belt. He was wearing
long robes, a purple cloak that swept
the ground, and high-heeled, buckled
boots. His blue eyes were light, bright,
and sparkling behind half-moon
spectacles and his nose was very long
and crooked, as though it had been
broken at least twice. (Page 8)
Professor McGonagall
...severe-looking woman who was
wearing square glasses exactly the
shape of the markings the cat had had
around its eyes. She, too, was
wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her
black hair was drawn into a tight bun.
She looked distinctly ruffled. (Page 9)
Hagrid
If the motorcycle was huge, it was
nothing to the man sitting astride it.
He was almost twice as tall as a
normal man and at least five times as
wide. He looked simply too big to be
allowed, and so wild - long tangles of
bushy black hair and beard hid most
of his face, he had hands the size of
trash can lids, and his feet in leather
boots were like baby dolphins. In his
vast, muscular arms he was holding a
bundle of blankets. (Page 14)
58 | P a g e
Muggles
Mr. Dursley
...big, beefy man with hardly any
neck, although he did have a very
large mustache (Page 1)
Mrs. Dursely
...thin and blonde and had nearly
twice the usual amount of neck (Page
1)
Dudley
small son (Page 1)

on parchment paper with green ink.

Probability
Another fun activity was predicting the number of beans in the
bag of Bertie Bott's Beans. We also predicted the number of
each flavor. After counting the actual number we wrote the
fraction for each. We then discussed the probability of getting a
flavor we liked as opposed to one we didn't like. This bag of
beans had grass, pepper, and sardine flavors. Yuck!

The Sorting Hat
We held a sorting ceremony. Each student put on the sorting hat. We were divided into four
houses. We held a competition to see which house would collect the most points for the rest of the
Harry Potter unit. We earned points for getting our reading log signed, keeping our assignment
book up-to-date, and on making good grades on the comprehension quizzes.
The Sorting Hat
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
and I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

Graduation Party

We played games with trivia from the book. Students made an eerie looking mixture in a cauldron.
