**Disclaimer - This class is for those who have read and/or watched the full series of Harry Potter, or are reading them and can read them quickly through as we cover them. If not, they may not get the full effect of the class and they may have spoilers. But, all students are welcome. This class is a novel study and discussion club on each book. Each week we will analyze parts of a book, have discussion on it, and have some trivia or an activity at the end of class. We will have fun projects each week and a final project for students to do and share with others. We will also play a game throughout the 8-weeks and your student will be put in sorting houses and they can earn points for their house and team. The winners at the end will get bragging rights and be crowned house champions of the novel study, and the winning team will win a gift certificate for ANY of my classes. This is a fun and interactive class that blends story elements with the love of Harry Potter and fun discussion.
