Monsters Monsters Monsters
This Thursday, September 14th, 2006
At the Franco's House
Dinner at 6pm, meeting at 6:30, time to go home at 8:00.
PLEASE BRING YOUR LISTS IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT: This means, please set up your lists in this way or pattern:
The list should be titled with your topic; then - IF AT ALL POSSIBLE- alphabetized in order, your entry, the book it is from, and the page.
For example: Topic- Charms, entry- Alohomora, book-SS, page-160.
Books should be abbreviated to these "acronyms": Sorcerer's Stone=SS; Chamber of Secrets=COS; Prisoner of Azkaban=POA; Goblet of Fire=GOF; Order of the Phoenix=OOTP; Half-Blood Prince=HBP
During dinner I will be scanning copies of everyone's lists so I can start typing them up for all of us to have. We will bring our lists to each and every meeting from now on and watch as they get longer and longer and longer. If you have time...go back to Sorcerer's Stone and update your lists!!!!
At the meeting this week we will be talking about monsters, omens & superstitions, and fortune telling, plus some other secret things. So, start thinking about Monsters in our world and in Harry's; start scaring yourself with thoughts of bad luck omens (such as BLACK CATS; ye gads, NO! What'll I do with our sweet fur-faced felines???); and also consider the idea of Fortune Telling...I'd love to do a field trip...
We will also discuss the vile Aunt Marge, fears, bad memories and losing at quidditch.
Here in the Franco house our dictionaries are filling up with words like "cur" "insolent" "marauder" and "ridiculous". Please bring your dictionaries and pens! **For Lisa and Brian- if you decide to join Potterology, I have extra dictionaries...so don't worry!**
And by the way, the owl at the top of the page is a scops owl which can fit in the palm of your hand and was the inspiration for Pigwidgeon. Camille created this month's fabulous blog art and if you'd like to see your work on the internet, please submit for upcoming postings- that means give me your best effort of a picture that you think could be an image from an upcoming chapter or book! Thank You!
See you Thursday!
