Here is the idea of this Discussion Group:
We focus on one chapter per week, and post discussion questions throughout that week for people to comment on as they wish. I think it would be best for reflection if we kept all our discussion questions under one subject (titled Chapter 1 Book 1, chapter 2 Book 1, etc.) and then responded to each discussion question using the 'quote' key. Topics of discussion can include (as I've borrowed from Mugglenet's Encyclopedia table of contents);
· Characters
· Spells
· Potions
· Creatures
· Magical Plants
· Places
· Hogwarts
· Magical Items
· Quidditch
· Organisations
· Books
· Harry Potter as it relates to the Real World
· A Wizarding History of Time
· Opinions
· Theories
· Other
All of these need to be related to the chapter being discussed that week. I will announce the start of the next chapter and post the new subject. I would like to start the discussions on a specific day each week so people can be prepared by reading the next chapter!
We will be starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on Friday April 11th 2008. I’ll allow a week for everyone to get organised, and post any other ideas, questions or issues you might like to raise before we begin!
Hoping you are well, and eager to start re-reading or reading the first of 7 wonderful books!!
Yay!
xx Distortia and Riley
