In this course, we will critically examine the literature of Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling's incorporation of astronomy, astrology, and Greek mythology. We will do this via character analysis and literary devices (such as symbolism, foreshadowing, allusion, and historical context). Our discussions include references to all of the different Harry Potter books and movies. I recommend that the students have at least read/watched numbers 1-3. Students do not need to watch all the movies or read all the books beforehand in order to enjoy this class, but please be aware that there will spoilers of some plot elements. Discussion of characters/events from later books will take place (although there will not be spoilers involving an deaths of major characters). This is a self-paced course, with no live component. Each lesson contains one recording (each about 50 minutes long) plus extension activities to expand your learning beyond the recording. All extension activities are optional and at the discretion of the parent. Need a discount? Sure thing! All of my self-paced courses are "pay what you can afford." To get the discount you need, sign up for the course first, then message me with the discount you would like, and I will apply a partial refund.

超過 6 週課 1:
Astronomy vs. Astrology
In our first session, we will analyze two Harry Potter professors and the subjects they teach at Hogwarts. Our first character case study will be Professor Aurora Sinistra and her Astronomy Class. She teaches a core class at Hogwarts, and yet this professor and the contents of her class are somewhat of a mystery. Second, we'll study Professor Trelawney and her Divination Class. She also teaches about the stars and planets, just like Professor Sinistra, but instead of calling in astronomy, she ca 課 2:
Planets
This week will be a literary analysis of the incorporation of the planets in the Harry Potter books. Are these examples of astronomy, or astrology? How does J.K. Rowling incorporate allusion and the historical context of the planets in both astrology and astronomy into her works? We'll also introduce the subtle - but important - connection J.K. Rowling makes with Greek mythology, and this mythology's inseparable ties to astronomy and astrology. 課 3:
The Moon
The moon has a great deal of symbolic value in the Harry Potter series. We'll discuss how J.K. Rowling incorporated a history of superstitions and beliefs about Earth's moon as the backdrop for many Harry Potter events. We'll examine what professors Sinistra and Trelawny teach about the moon. This week also includes a character study of Luna Lovegood and her relationship to her namesake (Luna, the Roman goddess of the moon). 課 4:
More Mythology
Our understanding and appreciation of the depth of Rowling's characters will be enhanced by our analysis of their names. For instance, Minerva McGonagall, Quirinus Quirrell, and Remus Lupin are all named after characters from Greek and Roman mythology - and the similarities to their Greek and Roman namesakes cannot be a coincidence! 其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
While I do make sure to encourage students to respect all persons' belief systems, if you or your child are believers in the reliability of fortune telling or horoscopes, this is not the right class for you. The first two weeks talk very heavily about how astrology is not supported by any known scientific evidence, and instead emerged from the religious beliefs of the Greeks and the Romans. Students are encouraged to hone their ability to recognize the difference between science and belief (while acknowledging that ALL of us utilize both practices in our lives, and both are considered to be acceptable and respectable in our culture).
供應清單
For the extension activities, you may want to print out the worksheets. For lecture 3 and 4, you will be asked to construct your own star wheel - this requires a printer, two sheets of cardstock (although regular paper will work okay), scissors, and staples or tape.
