Hi guys! It’s Rose and today I get to post the fourth edition of Let’s Start a Discussion. This week's edition is on one of my all time favorites, Harry Potter! From quidditch (a wizarding sport on flying broomsticks), to magical spells, to evil Lord Voldemort, this book is packed full of adventure and themes of friendship and good defeating evil are held throughout.
I have seperated the discussion questions by book (there are seven of them in the series but today we'll focus on the first four). There are some spoilers, so just be aware of that. Also, feel free to put your opinion in the comment box below whether you only answer one question or all of them! Here we go! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1): Question 1: If Harry’s parents were not murdered by Lord Voldemort, what are some things about Harry’s childhood and character that would be different? Question 2: If Harry were to be friends with Draco Malfoy instead of Ron Weasley, how do you think the plot might have been different? Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2): Question 1: If you could not get through the barrier on platform 9 ¾ like Ron and Harry, what would you do? Do you think Harry and Ron handled the situation well or did they act too fast? Question 2: How do you think the Weasley’s felt about Ginny opening the chamber of secrets? How would do you think Ms. Weasley felt? How do you think Ginny felt? Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3): Question 1: If Remus Lupin had told everyone he was a werewolf from the beginning, how do you think the story would of changed? Question 2: What do you think your patronus is? How can you see the characters' personalities reflected in their patronus? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4): Question 1: What would've happened if Ron’s name was pulled out of the Goblet of Fire rather than Harry's? What would be some side effects if this had happened--would Harry have been jealous? How would it've affected their friendship? Question 2: Do you think Hermione is really going to change anything with S.P.E.W. (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare)? Why does she spend her time on this organization? Bonus question! What Hogwarts house do you think you'd be in? (I'm definitely a Ravenclaw:) I hope you enjoyed the post. I can't wait to start a discussion, debate, or "fangirl" session with you in the comments down below! -Rose

Great post, Rose! The reason I'm only answering two questions is because I haven't read Harry Potter in a few years.

Answer to #3, question 2: honestly, I could talk for hours on Patronuses. It's a corporeal expression of one's inner psyche through a manifestation of their joy. That's a great conversation starter. I mean, take a look at Harry, for example. The stag is a symbol of power, vanity, and majesty. Also, it's a representation on his inability to move on from his parent's death (which begs the question- would it be different had he not known it was his father's? I'm guessing, otherwise, he might have had a lion, pheonix, or horse.) Also: the otter for Heremione. An otter is a fun, carefree animal that has an easygoing personality. Now, let's look at Heremione: She works hard, cares deeply about things, and has a strict love for rule which overcomes any kind of easygoing you've got. Is the otter a representation of what she could have become, if not for her anxiety? (and if you don't the developed/overcame anxiety in books 3-7 fight me) But I digress. Anyway, I think my Patronus would probably be a bear or a fox.

I really liked what you said about Harry's patronus of a stag (with his father)- I had never thought of it that way! Don't know what my patronus is yet- I need to take the potter more quiz. PROUD RAVEN!
