Harry potter movies have a great plot, I love watching them. The first one I remember the best (probably because I've read the book a few times as well). Of course the movie is based off of Harry finding out that he is a wizard and going to school to learn his abilities. This grabbed my attention from the beginning because although we know wizards aren't real, it had a nice story line and graphic animations to make you believe every spell was real, flying on the brooms was real, and all of the different things preformed were really happening before your eyes in the movie. With Harry being 11 and more movies to come, you get pulled in my the mystery of what being a wizard consists of. Although I was younger when they first started coming out with those movies, they still are very much a part of my life because they are so good to watch. He grows older through the movies along with everyone else like Ron, and Harmione. Harry starts out as a kid who lived with these terrible people and later finds out how his real parents are killed, and going to Hogwarts was a way that he didn't have to be with those people who didn't even treat him like a human. While watching that, you want better for Harry already, and Hogwarts (the school) teaches him so much about himself.
Reading through a few blog posts Imani's really stood out because she said this class has "humbled her" and that is a huge lesson beyond the text of the Bedford book. When discussing anything as a group we come across different opinions from our own. As we age we learn, that that is okay. Not everyone sees eye to eye and that doesn't make the world any less perfect. Kourtney also mentions "looking at things from a different perspective" and that goes hand in hand with respecting others opinions. That is huge when reading poetry as a class, and in everyday life.
