Horseheads HP club debates Harry's future
 
The Star-Gazette has an interesting piece about members of Horseheads High School's Harry Potter Book Club and their theories on what the title character in J.K. Rowling's fantasy series will do after he graduates from the mythical Hogwarts Academy. The whole piece can be read here.

Quote:

Some thought the young wizard would become the headmaster of the school, while others speculated that Harry would become a professional quidditch player.
Quote:

"I just enjoy the fantasy of there being an alternate reality of wizards," said junior Jeffrey Mathews, 17.
Quote:

"We're forced to do all kinds of bizarre predicting," said senior Jackie Spicer, 17, smiling.
Quote:

For instance, one rumor says Rowling is thinking of publishing a book after the Harry Potter series is complete with items that did not make it into those books. Her official Web site confirms Rowling is considering that.
That's not exactly true - she's considering writing an epilogue of what happened after the end. She said if she wrote any more books (like 'Quidditch through the ages' and 'Magical Beasts and where to find them') the profits would go to charity.

Quote:

During a recent discussion about the fourth book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," students talked about foreshadowing and made comparisons to "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare.
Quote:

Recently about a dozen book club members gathered in a circle around junior Roxanne Hodge, 16, as she read questions from a Harry Potter trivia game.

"Ron!" they shouted in unison to the question, "Who teaches Harry Potter to play wizard chess?"

"It's really good because you can talk about the books and you can debate them," Hodge said of the club.

cool... sounds like fun

*Snivellus* 12-17-2004 09:25 PM

Yeah its cool...Shakespeare's The Tempest...hmm interesting

LilRavenclaw 12-17-2004 09:29 PM

Mmm sounds interesting... I've never read the Tempest...

Ottery sunning himself by the pool...get me a Butterbeer someone...
 
What's interesting is that they're dissecting literature...which is a good thing. More schools should have clubs like that. Literary analysis is a good thing. On a side note I thought Horseheads was some kind of Hunter's Club for rich people or something, like a country club...hehehe guess I read too much into things...

Silly Ottery...

But if anyone knows about a HP country club let me know I'd like to join...

Brilliant idea - any literary club is fun, but one for youth is super-cool. Especially if they're not too snobby about including so-called "children's books"...

cool, i wanna start a club at my school but my friends would disown me

potterxfan04 12-18-2004 02:13 AM

^lol! i havent met any hp fans at school yet, totally bummed about that ...

hmm out of those two possibillites mentioned there i would think the quidditch player rather than the headmaster

ebony_wandson 12-18-2004 02:36 AM

thats a great idea, a really god way of getting kids to read and share ideas, also a great way to repare them for later life - genius!!

emmafreak 12-18-2004 04:30 AM

Man, we need a Harry Potterbook club in my school!

HermyOneGranger 12-18-2004 05:01 AM

This is great. It really helps to promote reading and "out of the box" thinking in children when they can dissect books in a group setting. KUDOS!!!!

I went to a college visitation about 2 months ago(my sister's a junior in HS) and they had trial classes. I took a Harry Potter in Politics class while my sis did an abroad discussion. They dont offer the class at the college, but it was great to see middle aged men talking about HP and JKR's site clues.
I wish we had a club like that but only my friends would be members!

icicle27 12-18-2004 08:49 AM

They don't sound as though they know their Potterania, really...

lovingradcliffe1290 12-18-2004 03:33 PM

i dont really see how harry potter can compare to william shakespeare...we dont have a HP club at my school but that would be awesome if we did

Riyon-BlueEyes 12-18-2004 05:25 PM

Yes it's a great idea, the HP books are so good that you could discuss their content for quite some time.
