The 30 pupils gazed in wonder as the imposing oak doors opened to reveal the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Once inside the famous wizarding school the pupils had a lesson in creating a screenplay before handling some of the original props and costumes from the 8 different motion pictures made from the J K Rowling books.
This year the Harry Potter challenge was the most popular of all our library events. Pupils of all ages signed up to cast spells, read the stories and learn about the young wizard. This trip was a fantastical way to bring that Reading to life

In their lesson at the film studio the children learnt about some special writers secrets:
First you have to hook the reader in - it must be in the first 5 minutes of the film. A great hook makes you want to ask lots of questions and find out more
Sacha Raif - Year 4
In the first Harry Potter film you see a Cat turn into a woman, an old man turn out all the street lights, a baby being left on a doorstep and a child with a mysterious scar... who wouldn't want to read on Inspiring a life long live of reading is absolutely key to the success of our pupils and our schools. Experiences like this inspire the children to read more books and to have a go at their own writing.

100% of the pupils on the trip now want to read all of the Potter series, and 100% of those who have never read a J K Rowling book will now do so during the holiday!

In addition to this trip, pupils of The Learning Federation have experienced author visits, library workshops, trips to Harry Potter World, reading competitions and writers workshops. Without a doubt this trip has created a new legion of Harry Potter fans!
