Exploring Characters for Literacy Week - Grade 3 - Harry Potter theme

On Friday we looked through the first Harry Potter film, and identified critical plot points and character development. Today we selected which character we wanted to be. On Thursday morning the children are invited to come dressed as the character he or she selected, or bring a prop. We will be making names tags that describe our characters' role in the story, what kind of character traits they have, and how they help the plot progress. Please feel free to do a very simple version of your child's character. The following is a list of the characters  each child has chosen:

Zeineb - Hermione
Chloe -  Hermione
John - Fred Weasley
Cole - Percy Weasley
Andrew - Rom Weasley
Alex - undecided
Henry - Prof. Quirrel/Voldemort
Devin - Dumbledore
Mekkhi - Harry Potter
Lara- Draco Malfoy
Armina - Prof. Snape
Genesis - undecided
Autumn - undecided

Please remember to keep it simple. This activity is about characters in books, not the costumes. Have fun!
