  • Wands Or Quills? Lessons in Pedagogy from Harry Potter
    Summer/ Fall THE CEA FORUM 2015 Wands or Quills? Lessons in Pedagogy from Harry Potter Melissa C. Johnson Virginia Commonwealth University “The real world, then, becomes somewhat illuminated by these characters who can span both worlds. For example, teachers at Hogwarts can be imaginative and compassionate; they are also flighty, vindictive, dim-witted, indulgent, lazy, frightened and frightening. Students are clever, kind, weak, cruel, snobbish. Lessons are inspiring and tedious—as in the best and worst of real schools” (317). – Roni Natov from “Harry Potter and the Extraordinariness of the Ordinary” When I first began teaching first-year college students in 1994 as a graduate student, I was in my mid-twenties, not much older than my students, and a product of the same popular culture. I frequently made reference to that pop culture and used it for comparison, analysis, and discussion to help my 75 www.cea-web.org Summer/ Fall THE CEA FORUM 2015 students develop their thinking and writing skills. Every year, I grew older and a new class of eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds began their first year at the university or college at which I was teaching. The popular culture of my teens and twenties became a part of the great depth and breadth of events encapsulated in the common student phrase “back in the day,” as the double atrocities of “reality” television and movies based on toys began to capture my students’ interests and as the World Wide Web further atomized those interests. Slowly, but surely, I found myself less skilled and less successful at using pop culture in the classroom as a touchstone or an example.

  • Wizarding Hierarchy
    English University of Iceland School of Humanities English Wizarding Hierarchy A Portrayal of Discrimination and Prejudice in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels B.A. Thesis Sigríður Eva Þorsteinsdóttir Kt.: 020696-3549 Supervisor: Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir May 2018 Abstract This paper explores how the Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling touches on the subject of discrimination and general prejudice against minority groups throughout the history of mankind. Though there are many minority groups in the novels, only a few will be discussed. Each of them will be compared to minority groups that faces prejudice in the real world. The paper further examines the effect discrimination has on the wizarding world and the struggle that wizards have to face to break from old habits, such as the enslavement of house-elves and their ongoing quarrels with goblins and other non-human creatures. The history of these feuds will be discussed as well as possible ways of mending the relationship between wizards and the minority groups. Oppression and abuse towards these minority groups are parts of the daily life of wizards and has been for centuries. Likewise, there will a focus on the prejudice werewolves face and how they mirror HIV infected people. In order to compare werewolves and people with HIV, a series of articles and studies on attitude towards diseases such as HIV/AIDS will be analyzed. The paper will also include a discussion about a few characters from the series that in some way are connected to minority groups: Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Dolores Umbridge, Lord Voldemort, Dobby the house- elf, and lastly the werewolf Remus Lupin.

  • Quidditch Rules and Regulations Purpose: Members of the Order Of
    Quidditch Rules and Regulations Purpose: Members of the Order of DeMolay should be challenged to work as a team and develop strategies to achieve goals while maintaining physical fitness and having lots of fun. Additionally, fun activities should be updated to be relevant with current times and trends among the youth. As such, Quidditch, a fictional team game based off of the Harry Potter book series, provides an example of the adaptation to newer generations’ interests and experiences. Providing a fun, intuitive, team building game, chapters will be able to provide exciting experiences which could draw new members and challenge current ones to work together, while building friendships and good sportsmanship expected in the Order of DeMolay. Overview: Quidditch begins with two teams of six or more competing head to head to outscore the other team in a twenty minute match. Participants play while riding brooms (pool noodles) during all parts of the match on the Pitch (field). Teams work together to score by throwing the Quaffle (volleyball or soccer ball) through one of three goals on the opposing side of the game field. To aid in defense, selected team members may throw Bludgers (dodgeballs) at opposing players in an attempt to make them drop any ball they may be carrying and cause them return to one of their goal posts before returning to the game. Near the end of the match, teams can also score additional points by having a seventh player attempt to capture the Snitch (a flag or tail attached to a non- team participant). Direct physical contact should be avoided and may result in a penalty play for the opposing team or ejection from the game.

  • The Unsung Hero of Harry Potter: Neville Longbottom
    1 Jaime Feathers The Unsung Hero of Harry Potter: Neville Longbottom The bulk of J.K. Rowling’s magical series chronicles the quests and adventures of the obvious hero of the books, Harry Potter. We wouldn’t expect anything less. It’s also no surprise that the vast majority of the heroism displayed in the story resides firmly within Harry’s grasp. Again, we wouldn’t expect anything less. What we might not expect is that Neville Longbottom, a character who fumbles and bumbles his way through the entire series, is also a hero. Yet that’s exactly what Neville is. Just as Dumbledore says in Sorcerer’s Stone, while speaking of Neville, that “there are all kinds of courage” (306), there are also all kinds of heroism. Neville’s isn’t the obvious, grandiose kind. It is understated and subtle, found hidden within his determination to overcome his blundering nature and his refusal to allow other people’s unfavorable opinions of him to define him. While Harry’s heroism is exciting and entertaining, it’s also larger than life. It is Neville’s heroism that presents itself in an attainable way, giving it the potential to truly resonate within the life of a child. If readers were asked which Harry Potter character they’d most like to emulate, it’s no secret that Neville Longbottom would fall pretty far down on the list. The majority of scenes containing Neville are enough to make anybody cringe. He melts a cauldron in Potions class and blisters himself and his classmates (Sorcerer’s Stone 139).

    Hugvísindasvið Magical Minority Social Class and Discrimination in the Harry Potter Novels Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Anna Guðjónsdóttir Maí 2014 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska Magical Minority Social Class and Discrimination in the Harry Potter Novels Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Anna Guðjónsdóttir Kt.: 210190-2609 Leiðbeinandi: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir Maí 2014 Abstract This essay explores the separation of people into different social classes in the Harry Potter novels and does as well give focus on the treatment of minority groups in the story. Dividing wizards and witches into upper, middle and lower class controls the wizard society and where the power lies. Those that form the upper class come from a long line of wizards and witches that are referred to as purebloods while those that form the lower class have parents who are Muggles, that is, possess no magical power. The essay explores the negative treatment of non-human beings and others that fall out of the norm in the wizard community and are placed as simple workers or even slaves since they are seen as inferior to wizards and witches. Authority and the upper class are portrayed in a very negative way since their sole interest seems to be on protecting their power and eliminating those that they deem unworthy of possessing magical power. The essay gives examples of characters that fall out of the norm and how they have accepted their place outside of the society. By applying Marxist theory focus is given on the class structure and shows how the upper class creates the superstructure while the lower class, formed by Muggleborn wizards and witches as well as the non-human beings, form the base of the society.
