I am a complete Potterhead to include a pilgrimage to Universal Studios annually, a collection of fan shirts,and several books about fan theories on my bookshelf. I even own more then one wand which I may or may not be practicing the silencio spell with. It is all in good fun and with an appreciation for the magical world that JK Rowling has created!

Each day, students will be assigned additional reading of the assigned book, asked to journal about the segment read, asked to complete handouts associated with the material and come to class ready to discuss material.

3 hours 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 4+ hours per week outside of class.

While the book club covers a copyrighted source, learners are expected to work from their own copy of the text. No reading will be done during the lesson, out-loud or otherwise and all materials provided to students are either created by myself or are used with permission of the creators.
