Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Book Study (Book 1)

Calling all Harry Potter fans! 🧙

Welcome to our Harry Potter book club! We will meet weekly to discuss a chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Students will read each chapter before class and meet weekly for a class discussion. We will discuss our favourite parts of each chapter and our favourite characters. We will compare notes on different aspects of the story. For example: theme, setting, plot, emotions, point of view, etc. Learners will also be asked trivia + reflection questions during each meeting. 

We will have a fun weekly activity after each chapter discussion: 

-get sorted into your Hogwarts house by the sorting hat
-create your wizard/witch name
-concoct your own potions
-quiz battles
& more!

Once learners have completed 17 classes (one for each chapter), they will receive a certificate of completion (!!!) showing that they read the entire Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone book. Woohoo!

Book Synopsis:

Harry Potter resides with Vernon and Petunia Dursley, his cruel uncle and aunt, and their mischievous son, Dudley. On Harry's eleventh birthday, a half-giant named Rubeus Hagrid reveals that Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter, were wizards when he brings him an entrance letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter's road to reconciling with his past and facing his future begins with the captivating novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. 


HOUSE CUP COMPETITION: Leaners will be given assignments weekly to complete before next class (optional). They will be awarded house points if they complete the assignments! Then the winning house will be awarded with the house cup! (This will be in the form of a printable certificate that states they won the house cup).


Please do not hesitate to join a section that has already begun! You will still be eligible to win the house cup and will still receive your certificate stating that you completed the reading of the entire book. 

If there is not a section time that works for you, please message me and I will do my best to open a time that works for you.
