Meeting, December 14th
6-8pm
at the Winslow's house
Fairness, Treachery, Secrets and Yuletide traditions
As we get ready for our own holiday celebrations, Harry is attending the Yule Ball with his fellow students at Hogwarts! However, he has been neglecting his egg that holds the clue for his next task. If you had an egg that held a clue, what secret might it hold? What would one have to do to get your egg to open? What special method would you use to hold your secrets? Can you think of all the ways the magical community keeps secrets? Do muggles have special means of keeping secrets too?
6:00PM Enjoy the food & treats
6:30PM Discussion - consider things like fairness in the stories, and treachery- those who seem loyal, but are actually plotting against you! Great word for your dictionaries! (Don't forget to bring them!) Can you think of some examples of treachery in the books up to now? What about secrets? What about Traditions? We have Christmas trees at Christmas, wishbones from turkeys and hidden eggs at easter; what does the magical world do that's traditional for them?
See you all there and e-mail your lists, please! Thanks!
Around 7:00 pm we'll take a break and make our own dragonish golden egg!
