 * Week 1 - Characters:**

A -Brian B /C -Stefan D -Mark

Discussion Questions:

6.Do you think that Hagrid is going to be an enemy to Harry?
Meeting: Today in class we discussed a few of the main characters. We talked about Harry, Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, the Dursleys, and Voldemort. We also talked about why Voldemort killed the Potters, and how Harry survived it. Harry is the only person has survived Voldemorts wrath! This is what makes him so important and amazing to everyone else in the story.

Week 2 - Language A -Stefan B/C -Mark D -Brian

Discussion Questions: 1.What is your veiw on Quidditch? 2.What do you think of the owls sending mail? 3.Hagrid seems a bit odd, what do you think of him? 4.Is there any characters that you don't trust in the book?

Meeting Notes: During this meeting, we talked about how they got to Hogwarts, and they had to go to the platform that seemed not to exist. They had to go through a wall to get to it. They also got sorted when they got to Hogwarts. There is Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. They sort all of the new wizards and witches. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine end up getting into Gryffindor. The hat said that Harry would be great in Slytherin, but he begged not to be put in, so the next best choice was Gryffindor. Harry also gets chosen to play the seeker on the quiddich team. The seeker is the person who goes after Golden Snitch. If you catch it, you win the game. That's what we have covered so far in the book.

week 3 a Mark b/c Brian d Stefan

Discussion Questions:

1.Do you think that Norbert will cause problems for Hagrid? 2.Where do you think the Invisibility cloak come from? 3.Will Snape become an enemy to Harry, Hermione, and Ron? 4.What do you think Fluffy is guarding?

Meeting Notes: We talked about how Norbert may later on be a big problem for Hagrid, when he becomes a full dragon. We believe that the invisibility cloak once belonged to Harry's parents, and it was given to Harry. Snape doesn't seem to like Harry, Hermione, or Ron, so i think he might become a great enemy of them. Fluffy is most likely guarding the entrance that leads to the Sorcerers Stone.

Week 4 a Brian b/c Stefan d Mark Discussion Questions: 1. What do you think killed the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest? 2. Does Voldemort have something to do with the Sorcerer's Stone? 3. What do you think of Quidditch? 4. Why is Snape threatening Quirrel? 5. Is Harry right about Snape wanting to steal the stone?

Meeting Notes: We believe that Snape killed the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest. He seems very suspicious of many things, he has a dark personality and is always sneaking around, so it seems as if he's up to something. We also think that Voldemort is going to use the sorcerers stone for power, and kill Harry Potter. Snape is threatening Quirrel because he seems extremely suspicious of something bad. And he thinks that Quirrel is trying to take the Stone, but it turns out Snape was trying to steal it as well.

Week 5 a Mark b/c Stefan d Brian Discussion Questions: 1.How did Voldemort get away with being on Quirrel's head? 2.Why did the teachers not suspect Quirrel? 3. Isn't it a bit odd that three first years made it through all those enchantments? 4. Where do you think Voldemort went after Quirrel was killed? 5. Why doesn't Dumbledore tell Harry why Voldemort wants to kill him?

Meeting Notes: Voldemort got away with being on Quirrel's head because Quirrel wheres a turban. Nobody suspected him, because he's just a pushover, it wouldn't seem as if he would do anything like that and not tell anyone. This book is great for maybe somebody a year or two younger than us.
