Rowling ........................................................................ 227 Creative Commons Licence, Disclaimer, Credits and Acknowledgements .................. 228 Preface: Transforming Fans’ Passion into Academic Work (Sara Martín Alegre) The 33 essays on the Harry Potter series that the reader will find in this volume have been written by fourth-year students of the ‘Llicenciatura en Filologia Anglesa’ (four-year BA in ‘English Philology’) and of the ‘Grau en Estudis Anglesos’ (four-year BA in ‘English Studies’, replacing the ‘Llicenciatura’) offered by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. All of them, and up to 12 more (some of them auditors), took my subject ‘English Cultural Studies: The Harry Potter Case’ in the Winter/Spring semester of 2014. This is actually the second volume I edit and publish based on their work for the course. The first one was Addictive and Wonderful: The Experience of Reading the Harry Potter Series, which I published in May 2014 on my university’s repository, the ‘Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UAB’ (see: http://ddd.uab.cat/record/118225/). More than 430 persons have downloaded it so far, which is more than I would have expected for a volume written by undergraduate students. If Charming and Bewitching: Considering the Harry Potter Series is half that successful I will be certainly satisfied. As you may guess, I have used the Harry Potter course as a testing ground for teaching methodologies which are new to me. I might never teach the course again if the Ministry of Education’s plans to transform our four-year BA degree into a three- year version proceed; the fourth-year electives, which is what this course was, might simply vanish. This is why I wanted to leave something behind, not just a memento for those committed students who took the course, but something which other lovers of Harry Potter might enjoy. Addictive and Wonderful, of which I am very proud as a university teacher (and as a ‘Potterhead’), is a collection of more than 50 personal essays in which students recall their experience of reading the series as children. It is Charming and Bewitching, Sara Martín Alegre (ed.) 1 proof that for the generation born in the late 1980s and early to mid 1990s Rowling’s saga was an event of enormous significance, arguably the main one in terms of how they became readers. Charming and Bewitching is, to be honest, more conventional (but not less exciting) as it gathers together the academic papers written by the students to validate their credits. That was, precisely, the ‘problem’ with the course: no matter how thrilled we all felt by the chance to discuss Harry Potter together, our academic duties had to be fulfilled: the students’ in proving their proficient command of English and of the required academic skills; mine in teaching them how to turn a fan’s passion into proper academic work (as we do in Cultural Studies all the time). The method I chose was to draw a list of 50 topics connected with the series, for them to choose and develop. Because of the individual choices and my own selection of the papers, which has led me to disregard just a few for publication, some topics have not been finally covered (I am particularly missing here James Potter). One topic, Sirius Black, I kept off-limits, as a strategy to embarrass myself into finally writing the long overdue article on everyone’s favourite character (still in progress). I have decided to arrange the volume simply following the students’ surnames in alphabetical

Epilogue itchcock and his works continue to experience life among generation Y Hand beyond, though it is admittedly disconcerting to walk into an undergraduate lecture hall and see few, if any, lights go on at the mention of his name. Disconcerting as it may be, all ill feelings are forgotten when I watch an auditorium of eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds transported by the emotions, the humor, and the compulsions of his cinema. But certainly the college classroom is not the only guardian of Hitchcock ’ s fl ame. His fi lms still play at retrospectives, in fi lm festivals, in the rising number of fi lm studies classes in high schools, on Turner Classic Movies, and other networks devoted to the “ oldies. ” The wonderful Bates Motel has emerged as a TV serial prequel to Psycho , illustrating the formative years of Norman Bates; it will see a second season in the coming months. Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour are still in strong syndication. Both his fi lms and television shows do very well in collections and singly on Amazon and other e-commerce sites.

  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    FADE IN EXT. - LITTLE WHINGING - NIGHT It is sunset. We drift through the clouds, approaching NUMBER FOUR, PRIVET DRIVE. We sail over the roof of NUMBER FOUR and continue on past it into the street. We drift down into an abandoned playground. A lone figure sits on the only unbroken swing.. It is HARRY POTTER. He appears deep in thought. Had he been watching more carefully, he would have seen the old MRS. FIGG watching him from her front porch. MRS. FIGG adjusts her porch chair in order to watch Harry better. The sound of harsh laughter reaches Harry's ears. He looks up. Dudley and his gang of followers are walking down the street, telling crude jokes and laughing. They ignore Harry and continue on out of sight. Harry gets to his feet and follows them. EXT. STREET - NIGHT Harry rounds the corner, only to find himself surrounded by Dudley's gang. DUDLEY Oh, it's you. GANG THUG #1 What should we do with him, Big D? Harry laughs. HARRY Big D? Cool name, but to me, you'll always be Ikkle Duddicums. DUDLEY Shut up! One of Dudley's gang steps in as if to punch Harry. Harry glares at him. The gang member pauses, then steps back again. DUDLEY Ooo, tough guy. Not so tough in your bed, are you? 2. HARRY What? MRS. FIGG stands up and goes to the edge of her porch. MRS. FIGG You boys go home now, or I'll be calling your parents! They pause and edge away from Harry.
